πŸ’‘ Introduction

Rho-1 base models employ Selective Language Modeling (SLM) for pretraining, which selectively trains on clean and useful tokens that aligned with the desired distribution.

Selective Lanugage Modeling (SLM)


Figure 2: Upper: Even an extensively filtered pretraining corpus contains token-level noise. Left: Previous Causal Language Modeling (CLM) trains on all tokens. Right: Our proposed Selective Language Modeling (SLM) selectively applies loss on those useful and clean tokens.

Figure 3: The pipeline of Selective Language Modeling. SLM optimizes language model performance by concentrating on valuable, clean tokens during pre-training. It involves three steps: (Step 1) Initially, train a reference model on high-quality data. (Step 2) Then, score each token's loss in a corpus using the reference model. (Step 3) Finally, train the language model selectively on tokens that show higher excess loss compared to the reference loss.

Send Request

You can use cURL or any REST Client to send a request to the AzureML endpoint with your AzureML token.
curl <AZUREML_ENDPOINT_URL> \
    -X POST \
    -d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?"}' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <AZUREML_TOKEN>" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Supported Parameters

  • inputs (string): Input prompt.
  • parameters (object):
    • best_of (integer): Generate best_of sequences and return the one if the highest token logprobs.
