dan_latn_100mb

Goldfish is a suite of monolingual language models trained for 350 languages. This model is the <b>Danish</b> (Latin script) model trained on 100MB of data, after accounting for an estimated byte premium of 1.02; content-matched text in Danish takes on average 1.02x as many UTF-8 bytes to encode as English. The Goldfish models are trained primarily for comparability across languages and for low-resource languages; Goldfish performance for high-resource languages is not designed to be comparable with modern large language models (LLMs).

Note: dan_latn is an individual language code. It is not contained in any macrolanguage codes contained in Goldfish (for script latn).

All training and hyperparameter details are in our paper, Goldfish: Monolingual Language Models for 350 Languages (Chang et al., 2024).

Model details:

To access all Goldfish model details programmatically, see https://github.com/tylerachang/goldfish/blob/main/model_details.json. All models are trained with a [CLS] (same as [BOS]) token prepended, and a [SEP] (same as [EOS]) token separating sequences. For best results, make sure that [CLS] is prepended to your input sequence (see sample usage linked above)! Details for this model specifically:

• Architecture: gpt2
• Parameters: 124770816
• Maximum sequence length: 512 tokens
• Training text data (raw): 102.11MB
• Training text data (byte premium scaled): 100.005MB
• Training tokens: 20802048 (x10 epochs)
• Vocabulary size: 50000
• Compute cost: 1.06210507751424e+17 FLOPs or ~10.0 NVIDIA A6000 GPU hours
