🌻 mGPT 13B
Multilingual language model. This model was trained on the 61 languages from 25 language families (see the list below).
Dataset
Model was pretrained on a 600Gb of texts, mostly from MC4 and Wikipedia. Training data was deduplicated, the text deduplication includes 64-bit hashing of each text in the corpus for keeping texts with a unique hash. We also filter the documents based on their text compression rate using zlib4. The most strongly and weakly compressing deduplicated texts are discarded.
Here is the table with number of tokens for each language in the pretraining corpus on a logarithmic scale:

Technical details
The models are pretrained on 16 V100 GPUs for 600k training steps with a set of fixed hyperparameters: vocabulary size of 100k, context window of 2048, learning rate of 2e−4, and batch size of 4.
The mGPT architecture is based on GPT-3. We use the architecture description by Brown et al., the code base on GPT-2 (Radford et al., 2019) in the HuggingFace library (Wolf et al., 2020) and Megatron-LM (Shoeybi et al., 2019).
Perplexity
The mGPT13B model achieves the best perplexities within the 2-to-10 score range for the majority of languages, including Dravidian (Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu), Indo-Aryan (Bengali, Hindi, Marathi), Slavic (Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian, Bulgarian), Sino-Tibetan (Burmese), Kipchak (Bashkir, Kazakh) and others. Higher perplexities up to 20 are for only seven languages from different families.
