mGPT-Peter-2E

mGPT: fine-tune on message data - 2E

• This model is a fine-tuned version of sberbank-ai/mGPT on 80k messages. This builds on the minimum-working-example checkpoint here.
• 2E = 2 epochs

Model description

• testing if fine-tuned personality data bleeds over to other languages without being trained in them explicitly

Interesting findings thus far:

• Passing a generic word after the <name-identifier> that is in a non-English language helps ensure the model responds in the question language (see: any example).
• Model generations (in general) remain semantically consistent, even if the generations switch from <language>to English in the middle of the generated text. This demonstrates some sort of "universal concept understanding"

Usage in python

Install the transformers library if you don't have it:

pip install -U transformers

load the model into a pipeline object:

from transformers import pipeline
import torch
device = 'cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu'
my_chatbot = pipeline('text-generation', 
                      'pszemraj/mGPT-Peter-2E',
                      device=0 if device == 'cuda' else -1,
                    )
