A Theory on Adam Instability in Large-Scale Machine Learning
Igor Molybog, Peter Albert, Moya Chen +14
We present a theory for the previously unexplained divergent behavior noticed in the training of large language models. We argue that the phenomenon is an artifact of the dominant…
LLaMA: Open and Efficient Foundation Language Models
Hugo Touvron, Thibaut Lavril, Gautier Izacard +11
We introduce LLaMA, a collection of foundation language models ranging from 7B to 65B parameters. We train our models on trillions of tokens, and show that it is possible to train…
Scaling Laws for Generative Mixed-Modal Language Models
Armen Aghajanyan, Lili Yu, Alexis Conneau +7
Generative language models define distributions over sequences of tokens that can represent essentially any combination of data modalities (e.g., any permutation of image tokens fr…
XLM-V: Overcoming the Vocabulary Bottleneck in Multilingual Masked Language Models
Davis Liang, Hila Gonen, Yuning Mao +5
Large multilingual language models typically rely on a single vocabulary shared across 100+ languages. As these models have increased in parameter count and depth, vocabulary size…
BlenderBot 3: a deployed conversational agent that continually learns to responsibly engage
Kurt Shuster, Jing Xu, Mojtaba Komeili +15
We present BlenderBot 3, a 175B parameter dialogue model capable of open-domain conversation with access to the internet and a long-term memory, and having been trained on a large…
Lifting the Curse of Multilinguality by Pre-training Modular Transformers
Jonas Pfeiffer, Naman Goyal, Xi Victoria Lin +4
Multilingual pre-trained models are known to suffer from the curse of multilinguality, which causes per-language performance to drop as they cover more languages. We address this i…
On the Role of Bidirectionality in Language Model Pre-Training
Mikel Artetxe, Jingfei Du, Naman Goyal +2
Prior work on language model pre-training has explored different architectures and learning objectives, but differences in data, hyperparameters and evaluation make a principled co…
How Robust is Neural Machine Translation to Language Imbalance in Multilingual Tokenizer Training?
Shiyue Zhang, Vishrav Chaudhary, Naman Goyal +4
A multilingual tokenizer is a fundamental component of multilingual neural machine translation. It is trained from a multilingual corpus. Since a skewed data distribution is consid…
CM3: A Causal Masked Multimodal Model of the Internet
Armen Aghajanyan, Bernie Huang, Candace Ross +8
We introduce CM3, a family of causally masked generative models trained over a large corpus of structured multi-modal documents that can contain both text and image tokens. Our new…
XLS-R: Self-supervised Cross-lingual Speech Representation Learning at Scale
Arun Babu, Changhan Wang, Andros Tjandra +10
This paper presents XLS-R, a large-scale model for cross-lingual speech representation learning based on wav2vec 2.0. We train models with up to 2B parameters on nearly half a mill…
Efficient Large Scale Language Modeling with Mixtures of Experts
Mikel Artetxe, Shruti Bhosale, Naman Goyal +21
Mixture of Experts layers (MoEs) enable efficient scaling of language models through conditional computation. This paper presents a detailed empirical study of how autoregressive M…
Few-shot Learning with Multilingual Language Models
Xi Victoria Lin, Todor Mihaylov, Mikel Artetxe +18
Large-scale generative language models such as GPT-3 are competitive few-shot learners. While these models are known to be able to jointly represent many different languages, their…
FST: the FAIR Speech Translation System for the IWSLT21 Multilingual Shared Task
Yun Tang, Hongyu Gong, Xian Li +4
In this paper, we describe our end-to-end multilingual speech translation system submitted to the IWSLT 2021 evaluation campaign on the Multilingual Speech Translation shared task.…
The FLORES-101 Evaluation Benchmark for Low-Resource and Multilingual Machine Translation
Naman Goyal, Cynthia Gao, Vishrav Chaudhary +7
One of the biggest challenges hindering progress in low-resource and multilingual machine translation is the lack of good evaluation benchmarks. Current evaluation benchmarks eithe…
Adapting High-resource NMT Models to Translate Low-resource Related Languages without Parallel Data
