We employed SentencePiece to retrain a Vietnamese tokenizer with a vocabulary size of 20K. No Vietnamese word segmentation was used. We then merged this vocabulary with the original one of Llama2, removing duplicate tokens. The new tokenizer significantly improves when encoding Vietnamese text, reducing the number of tokens by 50% compared to ChatGPT and approximately 70% compared to the original Llama2.
We conducted a single-epoch continual pretraining, also known as incremental pretraining, using the Llama2-chat 7B model on a mixed dataset totaling 40.5 GB, comprised of:
- 19 GB NewsCorpus
- 1.1 GB Vietnamese Wikipedia
- 1.6 GB Vietnamese books
- 4.5 GB Vietnamese legal documents (crawled from thuvienphapluat and processed by ourselves)
- 2.1 GB Vietnamese legal text (from C4-vi)
- 1.1 GB English Books (sub-sampled from pg19)
- 1.1 GB English Wikipedia (sub-sampled from 20220301.en wikipedia)
- 10 GB English Text (sub-sampled from C4-en)
We trained the model on a DGX A100 system, utilizing four GPU A100 in 10 days (about 1000 GPU hours).
Hyperparameters are set as follows:
Training Regime: BFloat16 mixed precision
Lora Config:
{ "base_model_name_or_path": "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf", "bias": "none", "enable_lora": null, "fan_in_fan_out": false, "inference_mode": true, "lora_alpha": 32.0, "lora_dropout": 0.05, "merge_weights": false, "modules_to_save": [ "embed_tokens", "lm_head" ], "peft_type": "LORA", "r": 8, "target_modules": [ "q_proj", "v_proj", "k_proj", "o_proj", "gate_proj", "down_proj", "up_proj" ], "task_type": "CAUSAL_LM" }
We also provide the LoRA part so that you can integrate it with the original Llama2-chat-7b by yourself.
Please note that this model requires further supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to be used in practice!
Usage and other considerations: We refer to the Llama 2
