The *TokenFormer* is a **fully attention-based architecture** |
|
that unifies the computations of token-token and token-parameter interactions |
|
by entirely employing the attention mechanism, **maximizes the flexibility of neural network**.[(see paper)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.23168). |
|
It contains four models of sizes |
|
150M, 450M, 900M, 1.5B. For each size, it's trained based on [gpt-neox](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox) code base and uses [Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EleutherAI/pile) with 300B tokens. |
|
All 4 model sizes are trained on the exact |
|
same data, in the exact same order. |

## Training |
|
|
|
### Training data |
|
|
|
[The Pile](https://pile.eleuther.ai/) is a 825GiB general-purpose dataset in |
|
English. It was created by EleutherAI specifically for training large language |
|
models. It contains texts from 22 diverse sources, roughly broken down into |
|
five categories: academic writing (e.g. arXiv), internet (e.g. CommonCrawl), |
|
prose (e.g. Project Gutenberg), dialogue (e.g. YouTube subtitles), and |
|
miscellaneous (e.g. GitHub, Enron Emails). See [the Pile |
|
paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027) for a breakdown of all data sources, |
|
methodology, and a discussion of ethical implications. Consult [the |
|
datasheet](https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.07311) for more detailed documentation |
|
about the Pile and its component datasets. The Pile can be downloaded from |
|
the [official website](https://pile.eleuther.ai/), or from a [community |
|
mirror](https://the-eye.eu/public/AI/pile/).<br> |
|
|
|
### Training procedure |
|
We follow the default training strategy of [Pythia](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.01373) in [gpt-neox](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox), |
|
including the dataset processing, hyper-parameter and code base. |
|
All models were trained on the exact same data, in the exact same order. Each |
|
model saw 299,892,736,000 tokens during training. |
|
|
|
All *TokenFormer* models trained for 143000 steps at a batch size |
|
of 2M (2,097,152 tokens).<br> |
|
See [GitHub](https://github.com/Haiyang-W/TokenFormer) for more details on training |
|
procedure.<br> |
|
TokenFormer uses the same tokenizer as [GPT-NeoX- |
|
20B](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b). |
|
|
|
## Evaluations |
|
|
|
All *TokenFormer* models were evaluated using the [LM Evaluation |
|
Harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness). |
|
You can run the evaluation with our [instruction](https://github.com/Haiyang-W/TokenFormer?tab=readme-ov-file#evaluations).<br> |
