Gemma2 9B for Sinhala: 100 target vocabulary size + Random target vocabulary initialization + 2x2LS/MTP/512 training

This model is built on top of Gemma2 9B adapted for Sinhala using 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100.

Model Details

• Vocabulary: This model has an additional 100 target vocabulary.
• Target vocabulary initialization: The target weights of the embedding were initialized using Random initialization.
• Training: This model was additionally pre-trained on 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100. The training was conducted with the 2x2LS/MTP/512 strategies introduced in the paper.
