Description
Recent breakthroughs in natural language processing, comprehension, and generation have been greatly influenced by the development of large language models. This research presents a system that employs Ascend 910 AI processors and the MindSpore framework to train a language model exceeding one trillion parameters, specifically 1.085 trillion, referred to as PanGu-{\Sigma}. This model enhances the groundwork established by PanGu-{\alpha} by converting the conventional dense Transformer model into a sparse format through a method known as Random Routed Experts (RRE). Utilizing a substantial dataset of 329 billion tokens, the model was effectively trained using a strategy called Expert Computation and Storage Separation (ECSS), which resulted in a remarkable 6.3-fold improvement in training throughput through the use of heterogeneous computing. Through various experiments, it was found that PanGu-{\Sigma} achieves a new benchmark in zero-shot learning across multiple downstream tasks in Chinese NLP, showcasing its potential in advancing the field. This advancement signifies a major leap forward in the capabilities of language models, illustrating the impact of innovative training techniques and architectural modifications.
Description
TILDE (Term Independent Likelihood moDEl) serves as a framework for passage re-ranking and expansion, utilizing BERT to boost retrieval effectiveness by merging sparse term matching with advanced contextual representations. The initial version of TILDE calculates term weights across the full BERT vocabulary, which can result in significantly large index sizes. To optimize this, TILDEv2 offers a more streamlined method by determining term weights solely for words found in expanded passages, leading to indexes that are 99% smaller compared to those generated by the original TILDE. This increased efficiency is made possible by employing TILDE as a model for passage expansion, where passages are augmented with top-k terms (such as the top 200) to enhance their overall content. Additionally, it includes scripts that facilitate the indexing of collections, the re-ranking of BM25 results, and the training of models on datasets like MS MARCO, thereby providing a comprehensive toolkit for improving information retrieval tasks. Ultimately, TILDEv2 represents a significant advancement in managing and optimizing passage retrieval systems.
