This is a T5 v1.1 model, pre-trained on a Japanese corpus.

Model details

T5 is a Transformer-based Encoder-Decoder model, now in v1.1, with the following improvements over the original T5.

GEGLU activation in feed-forward hidden layer, rather than ReLU - see https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05202 .
Dropout was turned off in pre-training (quality win). Dropout should be re-enabled during fine-tuning.
no parameter sharing between embedding and classifier layer
"xl" and "xxl" replace "3B" and "11B". The model shapes are a bit different - larger d_model and smaller num_heads and d_ff.

This model is based on T5 v1.1. It was pre-trained on a Japanese corpus. For the Japanese corpus, Japanese Wikipedia and mC4/ja were used.

Training Details

We use T5X (https://github.com/google-research/t5x) for the training of this model, and it has been converted to the Huggingface transformer format.

Training Data

The training data used is

The Japanese part of the multilingual C4(mC4/ja).
Japanese Wikipedia(20220920).

Preprocessing

The following filtering is done

Remove documents that do not use a single hiragana character. This removes English-only documents and documents in Chinese.
Whitelist-style filtering using the top level domain of URL to remove affiliate sites.

Training Hyperparameters

dropout rate: 0.0
batch size: 256
fp32
input length: 512
output length: 114
Otherwise, the default value of T5X (https://github.com/google-research/t5x/blob/main/t5x/examples/t5/t5_1_1/large.gin) is followed, including the following.
- optimizer: Adafactor
- base_learning_rate: 1.0
- warmup steps: 10000
