Making Instruction Finetuning Accessible to Non-English Languages: A Case Study on Swedish

This repository contains the code, datasets, and model checkpoints for the paper Making Instruction Finetuning Accessible to Non-English Languages: A Case Study on Swedish.

Installation and Usage Guide

This document guides you through the installation and usage of this project.

Installation

To install all necessary packages, run the setup.sh script.

./setup.sh

Note: We use Python 3.8 in this project, which is compatible with torch==1.12.1. If using other python version then you may have to change to a compatabile torch version in the setup.sh script.

Download Models

The models are accessible through the huggingface model hub:

oskarhol/gpt-sw3-instruct-1.3b oskarhol/opt-instruct-swe-1.3b

Running Evaluation and Training

Here's an example of how to run an evaluation:

python run_rouge_gen.py --model_name gpt-sw3 --model_path oskarhol/gpt-sw3-instruct-1.3b --tokenizer_path AI-Sweden-Models/gpt-sw3-1.3b --test_dataset ./data/unnatural_instructions_swe/test.jsonl --max_len 2048

Here's an example of how to run training:

python train.py --model_name gpt-sw3 --model_version 1.3b --model_path AI-Sweden-Models/gpt-sw3-1.3b --train_dataset ./data/unnatural_instructions_swe/train.jsonl --test_dataset ./data/unnatural_instructions_swe/test.jsonl --out_dir ./models/SW3-INSTRUCT/test/ --max_len 2048

Note:

• You must provide the paths to where your models are located.
• Since AI-Sweden's models are in a private repository, you may need to provide authentication towards the Hugging Face model hub. You can do this with use_auth_token or log in with huggingface-cli login:
