This repo contains a low-rank adapter (LoRA) for LLaMA-7b
fit on the [Stanford-Alpaca-52k](https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca)
and [databricks-dolly-15k](https://github.com/databrickslabs/dolly/tree/master/data) data in Czech.
### Dataset Creation
1. English Instructions: The English instuctions are obtained from [alpaca-52k](https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca), and [dolly-15k](https://github.com/databrickslabs/dolly/tree/master/data).
2. Instruction Translation: The instructions (and inputs) are translated into the target languages using Google Translation API (conducted on April 2023).
3. Output Generation: We generate output from `gpt-3.5-turbo` for each language (conducted on April 2023).
### Training Parameters
The code for training the model is provided in our [github](https://github.com/mbzuai-nlp/Bactrian-X), which is adapted from [Alpaca-LoRA](https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora).
This version of the weights was trained with the following hyperparameters:
- Epochs: 8
- Batch size: 128
- Cutoff length: 512
- Learning rate: 3e-4
- Lora _r_: 16
- Lora target modules: q_proj, v_proj,
That is:
```
python finetune.py \
--base_model='decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf' \
--num_epochs=8 \
--cutoff_len=1024 \
--group_by_length \
--output_dir='./bactrian-cs-7b-lora' \
--lora_target_modules='[q_proj,v_proj]' \
--lora_r=16 \
--micro_batch_size=32
```
Instructions for running it can be found at https://github.com/MBZUAI-nlp/Bactrian-X.
### Discussion of Biases
(1) Translation bias; (2) Potential English-culture bias in the translated dataset.
