• Title: TeenyTinyLlama: open-source tiny language models trained in Brazilian Portuguese
• Authors: Nicholas Kluge Corrêa, Sophia Falk, Shiza Fatimah, Aniket Sen, Nythamar de Oliveira,
• Abstract summary: Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced natural language processing, but their progress has yet to be equal across languages. In this study, we document the development of open-foundation models tailored for use in low-resource settings. This is the TeenyTinyLlama pair: two compact models for Brazilian Portuguese text generation.

• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced natural language processing, but their progress has yet to be equal across languages. While most LLMs are trained in high-resource languages like English, multilingual models generally underperform monolingual ones. Additionally, aspects of their multilingual foundation sometimes restrict the byproducts they produce, like computational demands and licensing regimes. In this study, we document the development of open-foundation models tailored for use in low-resource settings, their limitations, and their benefits. This is the TeenyTinyLlama pair: two compact models for Brazilian Portuguese text generation. We release them under the permissive Apache 2.0 license on GitHub and Hugging Face for community use and further development. See https://github.com/Nkluge-correa/TeenyTinyLlama

  Large language models (LLMs) are typically multilingual due to pretraining on diverse multilingual corpora. But can these models relate corresponding concepts across languages, effectively being crosslingual? This study evaluates six state-of-the-art LLMs on inherently crosslingual tasks.

  We present PolyLM, a multilingual large language model (LLMs) trained on 640 billion (B) tokens, avaliable in two model sizes: 1.7B and 13B. To enhance its multilingual capabilities, we 1) integrate bilingual data into training data; and 2) adopt a curriculum learning strategy that increases the proportion of non-English data from 30% in the first stage to 60% in the final stage during pre-training. Further, we propose a multilingual self-instruct method which automatically generates 132.7K diverse multilingual instructions for model fine-tuning.

  English-based Vision-Language Pre-training has achieved great success in various downstream tasks. Some efforts have been taken to generalize this success to non-English languages through Multilingual Vision-Language Pre-training. We propose a textbfMultitextbfLingual textbfAcquisition (MLA) framework that can easily generalize a monolingual Vision-Language Pre-training model into multilingual.
