Swallow-MS-7b-v0.1

Swallow-MS-7b-v0.1

Our Swallow-MS-7b-v0.1 model has undergone continual pre-training from the Mistral-7B-v0.1, primarily with the addition of Japanese language data.

Model Release Updates

We are excited to share the release schedule for our latest models:

• April 26, 2024: Released the Swallow-MS-7b-instruct-v0.1
• March 11, 2024: Released the Swallow-MS-7b-v0.1

This repository provides large language models developed by TokyoTech-LLM.

Model Details

• Model type: Please refer to Mistral technical report for details on the model architecture.
• Language(s): Japanese English
• Tokenizer: This model employs a tokenizer that features a broadened vocabulary based on Japanese data. This allows for a more efficient representation of text using fewer tokens, leading to a notably faster inference process.

Evaluation Benchmarks

Japanese evaluation benchmarks

We used llm-jp-eval(v1.0.0) and JP Language Model Evaluation Harness(commit #9b42d41). The details are as follows:

• Multiple-choice question answering (JCommonsenseQA [Kurihara+, 2022])
• Open-ended question answering (JEMHopQA [Ishii+, 2023])
• Open-ended question answering (NIILC [Sekine, 2003])
• Machine reading comprehension (JSQuAD [Kurihara+, 2022])
• Automatic summarization (XL-Sum [Hasan+, 2021])
• Machine translation (WMT2020 ja-en [Barrault+, 2020])
• Machine translation (WMT2020 en-ja [Barrault+, 2020])
• Mathematical reasoning (MGSM [Shi+, 2023])

English evaluation benchmarks

We used the Language Model Evaluation Harness(v.0.3.0). The details are as follows:

• Multiple-choice question answering (OpenBookQA [Mihaylov+, 2018])
• Open-ended question answering (TriviaQA [Joshi+, 2017])
• Machine reading comprehension (SQuAD 2.0 [Rajpurkar+, 2018])
• Commonsense reasoning (XWINO [Tikhonov & Ryabinin, 2021])
• Natural language inference (HellaSwag [Zellers+, 2019])
• Mathematical reasoning (GSM8k [Cobbe+, 2021])

Code evaluation benchmarks

We utilized the Code Generation LM Evaluation Harness [Allal+, 2022] (commit #0261c52). The details are as follows:

• Code generation (HumanEval [Chen+, 2021])
• Code generation in Japanese (JHumanEval [Satoh+, 2024])

Usage

First install additional dependencies in requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Use the base model

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_name = "tokyotech-llm/Swallow-MS-7b-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
prompt = "東京工業大学の主なキャンパスは、"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(
    prompt,
    add_special_tokens=False,
    return_tensors="pt"
)
tokens = model.generate(
    input_ids.to(device=model.device),
    max_new_tokens=128,
    temperature=0.99,
    top_p=0.95,
    do_sample=True,
)

out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(out)

Training Datasets

Continual Pre-Training

The following datasets were used for continual pre-training.

• Algebraic Stack
• Japanese Wikipedia
• RefinedWeb
• Swallow Corpus
• The Pile

Risks and Limitations

The models released here are still in the early stages of our research and development and have not been tuned to ensure outputs align with human intent and safety considerations.
