Model description
glm-large-chinese is pretrained on the WuDaoCorpora dataset. It has 24 transformer layers, with hidden size 1024 and 16 attention heads in each layer. The model is pretrained with autoregressive blank filling objectives designed for natural language understanding, seq2seq, and language modeling.
How to use
Please refer the instruction in our Github repo.
We use three different mask tokens for different tasks: [MASK] for short blank filling, [sMASK] for sentence filling, and [gMASK] for left to right generation. You can find examples about different masks from here. The prediction always begin with a special <|startofpiece|> token and ends with a <|endofpiece|> token.
