Title

# LaMini-Flan-T5-248M [![Model License](https://img.shields.io/badge/Model%20License-CC%20By%20NC%204.0-red.svg)]() This model is one of our LaMini-LM model series in paper "[LaMini-LM: A Diverse Herd of Distilled Models from Large-Scale Instructions](https://github.com/mbzuai-nlp/lamini-lm)". This model is a fine-tuned version of [google/flan-t5-base](https://huggingface.co./google/flan-t5-base) on [LaMini-instruction dataset](https://huggingface.co./datasets/MBZUAI/LaMini-instruction) that contains 2.58M samples for instruction fine-tuning. For more information about our dataset, please refer to our [project repository](https://github.com/mbzuai-nlp/lamini-lm/). You can view other models of LaMini-LM series as follows. Models with ✩ are those with the best overall performance given their size/architecture, hence we recommend using them. More details can be seen in our paper.

## Use ### Intended use We recommend using the model to response to human instructions written in natural language. We now show you how to load and use our model using HuggingFace `pipeline()`. ```python # pip install -q transformers from transformers import pipeline checkpoint = "{model_name}" model = pipeline('text2text-generation', model = checkpoint) input_prompt = 'Please let me know your thoughts on the given place and why you think it deserves to be visited: \n"Barcelona, Spain"' generated_text = model(input_prompt, max_length=512, do_sample=True)[0]['generated_text'] print("Response", generated_text) ``` ## Training Procedure

Title

We initialize with [google/flan-t5-base](https://huggingface.co./google/flan-t5-base) and fine-tune it on our [LaMini-instruction dataset](https://huggingface.co./datasets/MBZUAI/LaMini-instruction). Its total number of parameters is 248M. ### Training Hyperparameters The following hyperparameters were used during training: - learning_rate: 0.0005 - train_batch_size: 128 - eval_batch_size: 64 - seed: 42 - gradient_accumulation_steps: 4 - total_train_batch_size: 512 - optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08 - lr_scheduler_type: linear - num_epochs: 5 ## Evaluation We conducted two sets of evaluations: automatic evaluation on downstream NLP tasks and human evaluation on user-oriented instructions.
