Noon - a 7-billion parameter Arabic Large Language Model
We present the 7-billion parameter variant of Noon, an Arabic Large Language model based on BLOOM, a foundation model released by the bigscience workshop.
Noon was trained with the main focus of having a model that responds to various types of instructions and questions (text generation, code generation, mathematical problems, closed/open-book questions, etc.)
We trained the model using the ColossalAI framework which fully supports the HuggingFace library models, and implements different optimization and quantization techniques for billion-scale LLMs.
The training data is a combination of Arabic datasets covering multiple tasks, more details are provided in the dataset section.
مرحبًا بكم في بطاقة نموذج "نون"!
يحتوي "نون" على أكثر من 7 مليار عامل متغير، مما يجعله أكبر نموذج للغة العربية المطروح حتى الآن. تم تدريب هذا النموذج على أكثر من 110,000 سجل بيانات باللغة العربية، والتي تغطي أكثر من 10 ملايين كلمة، تتنوع ما بين إنتاج النصوص، وإنشاء الشفرات، وحل المسائل الرياضية، والأسئلة المغلقة/المفتوحة. تم تدريب هذا النموذج باستخدام تقنيات تدريب متقدمة مثل التدريب الموزع على عدة وحدات معالجة رسومية، وتكييف LoRA (Low Rank Adaptation)، وتحسين ZeRO (Zero Redundancy Optimization).
نحن فخورون بتقديم هذا النموذج الذي يمثل قفزة نوعية في تقنية معالجة اللغة العربية. نقدم في الأقسام التالية مزيد من التفاصيل عن كيفية استخدام نموذج "نون" ومختلف الخصائص التقنية المتعلقة بعملية التدريب.
على أمل أن يكون هذا النموذج خدمةً للطورين والباحثين العلميين في هذا المجال، ولكل الناطقين باللغة العربية.
Usage
The usage of our model only requires the Transformers library, and can be loaded as follows:
from transformers import BloomTokenizerFast, BloomForCausalLM, pipeline
text="اكتب مقالا من عدة أسطر عن الذكاء الصناعي وتطوراته"
prompt = f'Instruction:\n{text}\n\nResponse:'
model = BloomForCausalLM.from_pretrained('Naseej/noon-7b')
# We use the pretrained BLOOM tokenizer as it provides full support for the Arabic vocabulary
tokenizer = BloomTokenizerFast.from_pretrained('bigscience/bloomz-7b1-mt')
generation_pipeline = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
# We recommend the provided hyperparameters for generation
# But encourage you to try different values
response = generation_pipeline(prompt,
pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
num_beams=4,
max_length=500,
top_p=0.9,
repetition_penalty = 3.0,
no_repeat_ngram_size = 3)[0]['generated_text']
print(response)
Training's computational requirements
Dataset
To ensure the diversity of data points and satisfy our purpose of instruction-tuning, we collected, labeled, filtered, and reviewed a set of datasets, each tailored to specific instruction types. Noting that all the datasets are in Arabic, they comprise:
- Second version of the Alpaca dataset, generated using GPT4.
- Self-instruct records, split between samples generated by us using the self-instruct framework, and further translated ones.
- The instructional dataset released by Databricks, which comprises high quality human-generated instructions and responses.
- TruthfulQA dataset, to further guide the model on how to truthfully respond to factoid-based questions.
- Grade School Math dataset, to enhance the model's performance using chain-of-thought mathematical problems.
- Arabic arithmetic problems, generated by us using ChatGPT for further improvement of the model's ability to solve mathematical problems.
The full dataset adds up to over 110K records.
Disclaimer
The generated responses from this AI model are purely algorithmic and should be interpreted with caution. The model's outputs may occasionally exhibit bias, offensive language, or potentially harmful content. It is important to note that these responses do not reflect the personal preferences or viewpoints of the authors or the organization of Naseej.
While every effort is made to mitigate the harmfulness of the model's outputs, it is impossible to guarantee complete elimination of biases or offensive content. The model learns from vast amounts of data and may inadvertently replicate or amplify existing societal biases present in the training data.
Users are advised to critically evaluate and verify the information provided by the model. Exercise discretion when utilizing the model's responses, particularly in sensitive or controversial topics.
We are committed to ongoing research and development to improve the model's performance, minimize biases, and reduce harmful outputs. Your feedback and insights are valuable in helping us achieve these goals.
