Models Trained with DoReMi Data Mixture

This is a collection of the language models trained using RegMix data mxiture, each with approximately 1B parameters, trained on different seeds. This models aims to server as the strong baseline for our RegMix approach (https://huggingface.co/papers/2407.01492).

• Model Size: 5 separate models trained with different seeds, each with ~1B parameters
• Training Data: our method drived automatic data mixture on the RegMix-Data dataset
• Purpose: To verify the effectiveness of our proposed method

Dataset

The models were trained using the RegMix-Data dataset, which is split into different domains from The Pile dataset.

How to Load a Model

You can load any model using the corresponding branch with the Hugging Face Transformers library:

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("sail/data-mixture-regmix-1b", revision="seed-1")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sail/data-mixture-regmix-1b", revision="seed-1")

Data Mixture

The specific data mixture used for training this 1B model is as follows, which can be also found in our code:

Model Variants

To access different model variants, simply change the revision parameter in the from_pretrained method to the desired seed (e.g., "seed-2", "seed-3"), and the maxium seed is 5.

Model Performance

We evaluated each model using lm-evaluation-harness. The performance metric for each task is the average of 0-shot to 5-shot accnorm (accuracy normalized, if available) or acc (accuracy) scores.

Usage Notes

• These models are primarily intended for research purposes.
• Performance may vary depending on the specific task and domain.
