Sinhala GPT2 trained on MC4 (manually cleaned)
Overview
This is a smaller GPT2 model trained on MC4 Sinhala dataset. As Sinhala is one of those low resource languages, there are only a handful of models been trained. So, this would be a great place to start training for more downstream tasks.
This model uses a manually cleaned version of MC4 dataset which can be found here. Although the dataset is relatively small ~3GB. The finetuned model on news articles generates good and acceptable results.
Model Specification
The model chosen for training is GPT2 with the following specifications:
- vocab_size=50257
- n_embd=768
- n_head=12
- n_layer=12
- n_positions=1024
How to Use
You can use this model directly with a pipeline for causal language modeling:
from transformers import pipeline
generator = pipeline('text-generation', model='flax-community/Sinhala-gpt2')
generator("මම", max_length=50, num_return_sequences=5)

visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated)
instead.
