LongLM

1. Parameters

Versions	$d_m$	$d_{ff}$	$d_{kv}$	$n_h$	$n_e/n_d$	# P
LongLM-small	512	2,048	64	8	6/6	60M
LongLM-base	768	3,072	64	12	12/12	223M
LongLM-large	1,536	3,072	64	12	24/32	1B

$d_m$: the dimension of hidden states
$d_{ff}$: the dimension of feed forward layers
$d_{kv}$: the dimension of the keys/values in the self-attention layers
$n_h$: the number of attention heads
$n_e$: the number of hidden layers of the encoder
$n_d$: the number of hidden layers of the decoder
#P: the number of parameters

2. Pretraining Tasks

Encoder-decoder models are trained typically by maximizing the likelihood of the target output given an input. To improve the capacities of both the encoder and decoder, we propose to train LongLM with two pretraining tasks including text inﬁlling (Raffel et al., 2020) and conditional continuation (Radford et al., 2019). For the ﬁrst task, the input is a text where a number of spans are sampled and replaced by special tokens with unique IDs, while the output is the spans delimited by the special tokens used in the input. The lengths of masked spans are drawn from a Poisson distribution with λ=3 and all masked tokens compress 15% of the original texts. As for the second task, the input and output are respectively the front and back half of a text, which is split into two parts randomly.

3. Pretraining Data

We collect 120G novels as the pretraining data for LongLM.

4. Checkpoints

Model Loading:

from transformers import T5Tokenizer, T5ForConditionalGeneration
tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained('LongLM-large')
tokenizer.add_special_tokens({"additional_special_tokens": ["<extra_id_%d>"%d for d in range(100)]})
model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('LongLM-large')

Generation:

input_ids = tokenizer("小咕噜对，<extra_id_1>",return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=512).input_ids.to(device)

gen = model.generate(input_ids, do_sample=True, decoder_start_token_id=1, top_p=0.9, max_length=512)
