DiaLLM — Gemma 3-4B-it — en-IN — DPO

Built with Gemma.

Part of DiaLLM: An Investigation into the Robustness-Generation Gap in English Dialect Adaptation (EMNLP 2026 Main).

• Base model: Gemma 3-4B-it
• Target variety: en-IN (Indian English)
• Adaptation thread: explicit (variety-targeted)
• Alignment method: DPO

Fine-tuned from jordanpainter/diallm-gemma-sft-ind via DPO with the target-variety preference pairs.

Code, checkpoints, preference datasets, linguistic-analysis toolkit: https://github.com/surrey-nlp/diallm
