hplt_t5_base_3_0_hye_Armn

HPLT v3.0 T5 for Armenian

<img src="https://hplt-project.org/_next/static/media/logo-hplt.d5e16ca5.svg" width=12.5%>

This is one of the encoder-decoder monolingual language models trained as a third release by the HPLT project. It is a text-to-text transformer trained with a denoising objective. Our models follow the setup of NorT5.

We present monolingual NorT5 models for 57 languages out of 198 total in the HPLT v3.0 dataset.

All the HPLT encoder-decoder models use the same hyper-parameters, roughly following the T5-base setup:

• hidden size: 768
• attention heads: 12
• layers: 12
• vocabulary size: 32768

Every model uses its own tokenizer trained on language-specific HPLT data.

The training code.

Example usage

This model currently needs a custom wrapper from modeling_nort5.py, you should therefore load the model with trust_remote_code=True.

pip install transformers==4.46.1

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

model_path = 'HPLT/hplt_t5_base_3_0_nob_Latn'
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(
  model_path, trust_remote_code=True, use_safetensors=False,
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
# MASKED LANGUAGE MODELING
sentence = "Ansiktsuttrykket duckface har [MASK_1] seg til et utbredt kulturelt fenomen."
encoding = tokenizer(sentence, return_tensors="pt")
mask_1 = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("[MASK_1]")
mask_2 = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("[MASK_2]")
output_tensor = model.generate(
    encoding.input_ids,
    decoder_start_token_id=mask_1,
    eos_token_id=mask_2,
  )
print(tokenizer.decode(output_tensor.squeeze(), skip_special_tokens=False))
# should output: '[MASK_1]utviklet[MASK_2]'

Intermediate checkpoints

We are releasing 10 intermediate checkpoints for each model at intervals of every 3125 training steps in separate branches. The naming convention is stepXXX: for example, step18750.

You can load a specific model revision with transformers using the argument revision:

model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("HPLT/hplt_t5_base_3_0_hye_Armn", revision="step21875", trust_remote_code=True)

You can access all the revisions for the models with the following code:

from huggingface_hub import list_repo_refs
out = list_repo_refs("HPLT/hplt_t5_base_3_0_hye_Armn")
print([b.name for b in out.branches])

In this work, we present HPLT v2, a collection of high-quality multilingual monolingual and parallel corpora, extending prior work of the HPLT project. The monolingual portion of the data contains 8T tokens covering 193 languages, while the parallel data contains 380M sentence pairs covering 51 languages. We document the entire data pipeline and release the code to reproduce it. We provide extensive analysis of the quality and characteristics of our data. Finally, we evaluate the performance of language models and machine translation systems trained on HPLT v2, demonstrating its value."
