# Atlas-Chat Model Card


## Model Overview

Atlas-Chat is a family of open models instruction-tuned for Darija, the colloquial Arabic of Morocco, developed as part of the [Jais](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.16149) project for standard Arabic and its extentions to dialectal Arabic. These models are designed for language generation and excel in various applications such as question answering, summarization, and translation. Thanks to their compact size, Atlas-Chat models can be deployed in resource-constrained environments like laptops, desktops, or personal cloud setups, making advanced AI accessible to Darija speakers and promoting widespread innovation. Two versions are available:
* [Atlas-Chat-2B](https://huggingface.co/MBZUAI-Paris/Atlas-Chat-2B): A small-sized version with 2 billion parameters, capable of generating fluent Moroccan Darija text while maintaining efficiency.
* [Atlas-Chat-9B](https://huggingface.co/MBZUAI-Paris/Atlas-Chat-9B): A larger version with 9 billion parameters, providing more nuanced, contextually rich language generation for complex tasks.

The models are designed to assist with:

* Conversational agents and chatbots that operate in Darija.
* Translation, summarization, and content generation in informal dialect.
* Cultural research related to Morocco and its language.

<!-- You can ensure the correct chat template is applied by using `tokenizer.apply_chat_template` as follows:
```python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "MBZUAI-Paris/Atlas-Chat-9B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "شنو هيا الإيجابيات ديال الطاقة المتجددة؟"},
]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt", return_dict=True, add_generation_prompt=True)

outputs = model.generate(**input_ids, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.0)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

- Response:

شنو هيا الإيجابيات ديال الطاقة المتجددة؟<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
الطاقة المتجددة عندها بزاف ديال الإيجابيات، منها:

1. الاستدامة: مصادر الطاقة المتجددة بحال الريح، الشمس، والطاقة الكهرومائية كيتجددو بشكل طبيعي، يعني ما غاديش ينفدو مع الوقت. هاد الشي كيخليهم مصدر طاقة مستدام اللي ممكن نعتمدو عليه على المدى الطويل.

2. تقليل انبعاثات الكربون: مصادر الطاقة المتجددة عموماً عندها انبعاثات كربونية أقل من الوقود الأحفوري، وهاد الشي كيساعد فالتخفيف من التغير المناخي وتقليل تلوث الهواء.

3. الاستقلال الطاقي: مصادر الطاقة المتجددة ممكن نستعملوها باش نقللو من الاعتماد على الوقود الأحفوري المستورد، وهاد الشي كيزيد من الاستقلال الطاقي وكيقلل من خطر التقطيع.

4. خلق فرص الشغل: صناعة الطاقة المتجددة كتخلق فرص شغل فمجالات بحال تركيب الألواح الشمسية، صيانة توربينات الرياح، وبناء محطات

### Chat Template

The models use a chat template that must be adhered to conversational use.
The easiest way to apply it is using the tokenizer's built-in chat template, as shown in the following snippet.

Let's load the model and apply the chat template to a conversation. In this example, we'll start with a single user interaction:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import transformers
import torch

model_id = "MBZUAI-Paris/Atlas-Chat-9B"
dtype = torch.bfloat16

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    device_map="cuda",
    torch_dtype=dtype,)

chat = [
    { "role": "user", "content": "أشنو كايمييز المملكة المغربية." },
]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
```

At this point, the prompt contains the following text:

```
<bos><start_of_turn>user
أشنو كايمييز المملكة المغربية.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
```

As you can see, each turn is preceded by a `<start_of_turn>` delimiter and then the role of the entity
(either `user`, for content supplied by the user, or `model` for LLM responses). Turns finish with
the `<end_of_turn>` token.

You can follow this format to build the prompt manually, if you need to do it without the tokenizer's
chat template.

After the prompt is ready, generation can be performed like this:

```python
inputs = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(input_ids=inputs.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

- Response:

>المغرب كايميزو بزاف ديال الحوايج، منهم:
>
>1. التنوع الثقافي: المغرب بلاد فيها بزاف ديال الثقافات، كل وحدة فيهم عندها التقاليد ديالها واللغة ديالها والماكلة ديالها. هاد التنوع كايبان فالموسيقى والرقص والفنون التقليدية.
>
>2. التراث التاريخي: المغرب عندو تاريخ غني كايمتد لآلاف السنين، فيه حضارات قديمة بحال مملكة موريطانيا، والرومان، والبيزنطيين، والفتوحات الإسلامية. هاد التراث كايبان فالمعالم التاريخية بحال مدينة فاس، والمدينة القديمة ديال مراكش، والمدينة القديمة ديال شفشاون.
>
>3. المناظر الطبيعية: المغرب بلاد فيها مناظر طبيعية متنوعة، من السواحل الزرقة والصحاري الكبيرة، للجبال العالية والوديان الخضراء. هاد التنوع كايمكنك من ممارسة أنشطة خارجية بحال المشي لمسافات طويلة، والتخييم، والرياضات المائية.
>
>4. الماكلة: الماكلة المغربية معروفة بالتنوع ديالها والطعم ديالها. من بين الأطباق الأكثر شعبية كاين الطاجين، والكسكس، والبريوات، والكوكتيل ديال الفواكه.
>

## Training Data
The model was trained on diverse datasets focusing on Darija consisting for approximatley 450k instructions of a maximum length of 2048 tokens, including:

* Synthetic instructions created to guide the model in processing various types of language tasks tailord towards Moroccan culture.
* Instruction samples created from publicly available Moroccan Arabic datasets including translation, summarization and sentiment analysis.
* Translated English and multi-lingual instruction-tuning datasets.

Our training dataset [Darija-SFT-Mixture](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MBZUAI-Paris/Darija-SFT-Mixture) is publicly available.


## Implementation Information
Atlas-Chat models are based on Gemma 2 models. The Atlas-Chat models were trained using 8 Nvidia's A100 80 GB GPUs in parallel using FSDP on AWS Sagemaker. The model is trained using HuggingFace transformers and parameter-efficient fine-tuning with LoRA rank of 256.


## Evaluation
The Atlas-Chat models were evaluated on a comprehensive suite of tasks using various datasets and benchmarks to assess their performance across multiple dimensions. These included tasks such as:

* **DarijaMMLU:** A Darija version of ArabicMMLU and MMLU benchmarks translated from MSA and English respectively.
* **DarijaHellaSwag:** A Darija version of HellaSwag.
* **Belebele Ary_Arab:** Belebele is a multiple-choice machine reading comprehension dataset published by Facebook spanning 122 language variants. The Evaluation is done on the Ary_Arab part of Belebele that refers to Darija.
* **Sentiment Analysis.**
* **Translation:** Including six directions and four languages: Darija, MSA, English and French.
* **Summarization.**

The models were compared against a collection of existing open-source Arabic models to gauge their effectiveness, with a particular focus on performance in Darija. All scores are based on zero-shot performance. The prompts are written mainly in Darija. The metric used for DarijaMMLU, DarijaHellaSwag, Belebele Ary and Sentiment Analysis is the normalized accuracy. We used [Language Model Evaluation Harness](https://github.com/MBZUAI-Paris/lm-evaluation-harness-atlas-chat) to conduct these evaluations.

<summary>Limitations</summary>

* Training Data
  * The quality and diversity of the training data significantly influence the
    model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data can lead to
    limitations in the model's responses.
  * The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas the model can
    handle effectively.
* Context and Task Complexity
  * LLMs are better at tasks that can be framed with clear prompts and
    instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be challenging.
  * A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context provided
    (longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a certain point).
* Language Ambiguity and Nuance
  * Natural language is inherently complex. LLMs might struggle to grasp subtle
    nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
* Factual Accuracy
  * LLMs generate responses based on information they learned from their
    training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They may generate
    incorrect or outdated factual statements.
* Common Sense
  * LLMs rely on statistical patterns in language. They might lack the ability
    to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.

<summary> Ethical Considerations and Risks</summary>

The development of large language models (LLMs) raises several ethical concerns.
In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:

* Bias and Fairness
  * LLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text data can reflect socio-cultural
    biases embedded in the training material.
* Misinformation and Misuse
  * LLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading, or harmful.
  * Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
    [Responsible Generative AI Toolkit][rai-toolkit].
* Transparency and Accountability:
  * This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
    capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
  * A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to share
    innovation by making LLM technology accessible to developers and researchers
    across the AI ecosystem.

Risks identified and mitigations:

* Perpetuation of biases: It's encouraged to perform continuous monitoring
  (using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of de-biasing
  techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use cases.
* Generation of harmful content: Mechanisms and guidelines for content safety
  are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and implement
  appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific product policies
  and application use cases.
* Privacy violations: Models were trained on data filtered for removal of PII
  (Personally Identifiable Information). Developers are encouraged to adhere to
  privacy regulations with privacy-preserving techniques.
