Why We Build Local Large Language Models: An Observational Analysis from 35 Japanese and Multilingual LLMs
Koshiro Saito, Sakae Mizuki, Masanari Ohi +11
Why do we build local large language models (LLMs)? What should a local LLM learn from the target language? Which abilities can be transferred from other languages? Do language-spe…
Building Instruction-Tuning Datasets from Human-Written Instructions with Open-Weight Large Language Models
Youmi Ma, Sakae Mizuki, Kazuki Fujii +12
Instruction tuning is crucial for enabling Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve real-world tasks. Prior work has shown the effectiveness of instruction-tuning data synthesized sol…
LLM-jp: A Cross-organizational Project for the Research and Development of Fully Open Japanese LLMs
LLM-jp, :, Akiko Aizawa +80
This paper introduces LLM-jp, a cross-organizational project for the research and development of Japanese large language models (LLMs). LLM-jp aims to develop open-source and stron…
Continual Pre-Training for Cross-Lingual LLM Adaptation: Enhancing Japanese Language Capabilities
Kazuki Fujii, Taishi Nakamura, Mengsay Loem +7
Cross-lingual continual pre-training of large language models (LLMs) initially trained on English corpus allows us to leverage the vast amount of English language resources and red…
Building a Large Japanese Web Corpus for Large Language Models
Naoaki Okazaki, Kakeru Hattori, Hirai Shota +7
Open Japanese large language models (LLMs) have been trained on the Japanese portions of corpora such as CC-100, mC4, and OSCAR. However, these corpora were not created for the qua…
