Besides, the models could also be pre-trained by [TencentPretrain](https://github.com/Tencent/TencentPretrain) introduced in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.06385), which inherits UER-py to support models with parameters above one billion, and extends it to a multimodal pre-training framework. **Version 1.1** Chinese T5 Version 1.1 includes the following improvements compared to our Chinese T5 model: - GEGLU activation in feed-forward hidden layer, rather than ReLU - Dropout was turned off in pre-training - no parameter sharing between embedding and classifier layer You can download the set of Chinese T5 Version 1.1 models either from the [UER-py Modelzoo page](https://github.com/dbiir/UER-py/wiki/Modelzoo), or via HuggingFace from the links below: | | Link | | ----------------- | :----------------------------: | | **T5-v1_1-Small** | [**L=8/H=512 (Small)**][small] | | **T5-v1_1-Base** | [**L=12/H=768 (Base)**][base] | In T5 Version 1.1, spans of the input sequence are masked by so-called sentinel token. Each sentinel token represents a unique mask token for the input sequence and should start with ``, ``, … up to ``. However, `` is separated into multiple parts in Huggingface's Hosted inference API. Therefore, we replace `` with `extraxxx` in vocabulary and BertTokenizer regards `extraxxx` as one sentinel token. ## How to use You can use this model directly with a pipeline for text2text generation (take the case of T5-v1_1-Small): ```python >>> from transformers import BertTokenizer, MT5ForConditionalGeneration, Text2TextGenerationPipeline >>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("uer/t5-v1_1-small-chinese-cluecorpussmall") >>> model = MT5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("uer/t5-v1_1-small-chinese-cluecorpussmall") >>> text2text_generator = Text2TextGenerationPipeline(model, tokenizer) >>> text2text_generator("中国的首都是extra0京", max_length=50, do_sample=False) [{'generated_text': 'extra0 北 extra1 extra2 extra3 extra4 extra5'}] ``` ## Training data [CLUECorpusSmall](https://github.com/CLUEbenchmark/CLUECorpus2020/) is used as training data. ## Training procedure The model is pre-trained by [UER-py](https://github.com/dbiir/UER-py/) on [Tencent Cloud](https://cloud.tencent.com/). We pre-train 1,000,000 steps with a sequence length of 128 and then pre-train 250,000 additional steps with a sequence length of 512. We use the same hyper-parameters on different model sizes.
