BigScience: A Case Study in the Social Construction of a Multilingual Large Language Model
Christopher Akiki, Giada Pistilli, Margot Mieskes +4
The BigScience Workshop was a value-driven initiative that spanned one and half years of interdisciplinary research and culminated in the creation of ROOTS, a 1.6TB multilingual da…
Measuring Data
Margaret Mitchell, Alexandra Sasha Luccioni, Nathan Lambert +7
We identify the task of measuring data to quantitatively characterize the composition of machine learning data and datasets. Similar to an object's height, width, and volume, data…
The Stack: 3 TB of permissively licensed source code
Denis Kocetkov, Raymond Li, Loubna Ben Allal +10
Large Language Models (LLMs) play an ever-increasing role in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI)--not only for natural language processing but also for code understanding and…
BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model
BigScience Workshop, :, Teven Le Scao +391
Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to wi…
Training Transformers Together
Alexander Borzunov, Max Ryabinin, Tim Dettmers +5
The infrastructure necessary for training state-of-the-art models is becoming overly expensive, which makes training such models affordable only to large corporations and instituti…
GEMv2: Multilingual NLG Benchmarking in a Single Line of Code
Sebastian Gehrmann, Abhik Bhattacharjee, Abinaya Mahendiran +74
Evaluation in machine learning is usually informed by past choices, for example which datasets or metrics to use. This standardization enables the comparison on equal footing using…
Data Governance in the Age of Large-Scale Data-Driven Language Technology
Yacine Jernite, Huu Nguyen, Stella Biderman +18
The recent emergence and adoption of Machine Learning technology, and specifically of Large Language Models, has drawn attention to the need for systematic and transparent manageme…
Documenting Geographically and Contextually Diverse Data Sources: The BigScience Catalogue of Language Data and Resources
Angelina McMillan-Major, Zaid Alyafeai, Stella Biderman +15
In recent years, large-scale data collection efforts have prioritized the amount of data collected in order to improve the modeling capabilities of large language models. This prio…
