Model Description

DIRECT is a strong baseline of FLIPPED, based on the training objective on T0-3B. With only 5% token updates and half of training datasets compared to T0-3B, DIRECT outperforms T0-3B. (+6.38% mean accuracy on 14 NLP tasks, +1.19% mean accuracy on 14 BIG-bench tasks)

How to use

Our overall explanation models along with ablations can be found in our paper. We recommend using the FLIPPED-11B checkpoint as it leads (on average) to the best performances on a variety of NLP tasks.

Model Number of parameters
Flipped_11B 11 billion
Flipped_3B 3 billion
Here is how to download the model in PyTorch:
import torch
from transformers import T5Tokenizer, T5ForConditionalGeneration

model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("seonghyeonye/direct_3B")
tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained("seonghyeonye/direct_3B")

If you want to use another checkpoint, please replace the path in T5Tokenizer and T5ForConditionalGeneration. We also provide a quick Jupyter Notebook where you can inference with our method. Note: the model was trained with fp32 activations. As such, we highly discourage running inference with fp16.

Training procedure

DIRECT model is based on T5+LM, a Transformer-based encoder-decoder language model pre-trained with a masked language modeling-style objective additionally pretrained on language modeling objective on C4. Training details:

  • Fine-tuning steps: 5'000
  • Input sequence length: 512
  • Target sequence length: 128
  • Batch size: 240
  • Optimizer: Adafactor
  • Learning rate: 1e-4
  • Dropout: 0.1
  • Sampling strategy: proportional to the number of examples in each dataset (we randomly sampled any dataset if it has over 500'000 examples so that it has at most 500'000 examples. Also, we randomly choose which instruction to generate for each training steps, so ideally each instruction appears num_examples/num_templates while training.)

Training data

We trained different variants T0 with different mixtures of datasets.

Label generalization

We evaluate the robustness of models on following datasets with changing the output label of the datasets. The substitute words can be found in our paper.

Task category (Datasets, Template name)
Unseen tasks (WSC, does the pronoun refer to), (CB, can we infer), (RTE, MNLI crowdsource)
Seen tasks (IMDB, Reviewer Enjoyment Yes No), (PAWS, Meaning)
The template name we used can be found in the promptsource template library.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
