### Model Description
This HF repository contains base LLMs instruction tuned (SFT) with LoRA and then used to study whether monolingual or multilingual instruction tuning is more favourable.
* [GitHub](https://github.com/hplt-project/monolingual-multilingual-instruction-tuning/tree/main)
* [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.08958)
#### Instruction tuning details
* Base model: [bigscience/bloom-1b1](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom-1b1)
* Instruction tuning language: English
* Training method: LoRA.
* LoRA details: rank=8, alpha=16, target modules={key, query, value}.
* Best checkpoint: best cross-entropy on a validation set, trained for 5 epochs.
* Dataset: machine-translated from [yahma/alpaca-cleaned](https://huggingface.co/datasets/yahma/alpaca-cleaned). You can download our data [HERE](https://github.com/hplt-project/monolingual-multilingual-instruction-tuning/tree/main/training-data).
#### Usage
The model checkpoint should be loaded with the base model together using `transformers` and `peft` libraries.
Please refer to our Github repository [HERE](https://github.com/hplt-project/monolingual-multilingual-instruction-tuning/tree/main/loraft) for inference and training instructions.
