VocADT is a solution for vocabulary adaptation using adapter modules that are trained to learn the optimal linear combination of existing embeddings while keeping the model’s weights fixed. VocADT offers a flexible and scalable solution without requiring external resources or language constraints.

New Vocabulary Adapted Models

Only the input/output embeddings are replaced, while all other original weights of base model remain fixed. These are the merged version: after training the adapters, we merge the original embeddings with the adapter to generate the new embeddings.

Quick Start

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# model_name = "mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 # Base Model
model_name = "h-j-han/Mistral-7B-VocADT-50k-Mixed" # Vocabulary Adapted Model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

prefix = "\nEnglish: Hello \nKorean: 안녕하세요 \nEnglish: Thank you\nKorean: 고맙습니다\nEnglish: "
line = "I lived in Korea for seven years"
suffix = f"\nKorean:"
prompt = prefix + line + suffix

inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=10)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

# Base Model Output: "한국에 7년 살" # This short incomplete phrase in Korean is 10 tokens for the base model.
# VocADT Output: "저는 한국에 7년 동안 살았습니다." # Complete and good output within 10 tokens
