SEA-LION-7B-Instruct-NC
SEA-LION is a collection of Large Language Models (LLMs) which has been pretrained and instruct-tuned for the Southeast Asia (SEA) region. The size of the models range from 3 billion to 7 billion parameters. This is the card for the SEA-LION 7B Instruct (Non-Commercial) model.
For more details on the base model, please refer to the base model's model card.
SEA-LION stands for Southeast Asian Languages In One Network.
Model Details
Model Description
The SEA-LION model is a significant leap forward in the field of Natural Language Processing, specifically trained to understand the SEA regional context.
SEA-LION is built on the robust MPT architecture and has a vocabulary size of 256K.
For tokenization, the model employs our custom SEABPETokenizer, which is specially tailored for SEA languages, ensuring optimal model performance.
The pre-training data for the base SEA-LION model encompasses 980B tokens. The model was then further instruction-tuned on Indonesian data only.

Benchmark Performance
SEA-LION-7B-Instruct-NC performs better than other models of comparable size when tested on tasks in the Indonesian language.
We evaluated SEA-LION-7B-Instruct-NC on the BHASA benchmark and compared it against Llama-2-7B, Mistral-7B and Falcon-7B.
We only evaluated it on the Indonesian tasks as the model was only instruction-tuned in Indonesian.
The evaluation was done zero-shot with Indonesian prompts and only a sample of 100 - 1000 instances per dataset was used as per the setting described in the BHASA paper.
The scores shown in the tables below have been adjusted to only consider answers provided in the appropriate language.
For Natural Language Understanding (NLU) tasks, we tested the model on Sentiment Analysis (Sent) using the NusaX dataset, Question Answering (QA) using the TyDiQA dataset, and Toxicity Detection (Tox) using the Indonesian Multi-Label Hate Speech Detection dataset. The metrics used are F1 score for all three tasks.
For Natural Language Generation (NLG) tasks, we tested the model on Machine Translation from English to Indonesian (MT-EN-ID) and from Indonesian to English (MT-ID-EN) using the FLORES-200 dataset, and Abstractive Summarization (AbsSum) using the XLSum dataset. The metrics used for Machine Translation are ChrF++ and COMET22, and ROUGE-L is used for Abstractive Summarization.
For Natural Language Reasoning (NLR) tasks, we tested the model on Natural Language Inference (NLI) using the IndoNLI lay dataset and on Causal Reasoning (Causal) using the XCOPA dataset. The metrics are accuracy for both tasks.

Example Usage
# Please use transformers==4.34.1
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("aisingapore/sealion7b-instruct-nc", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("aisingapore/sealion7b-instruct-nc", trust_remote_code=True)
prompt_template = "### USER:\n{human_prompt}\n\n### RESPONSE:\n"
prompt = """Apa sentimen dari kalimat berikut ini?
Kalimat: Buku ini sangat membosankan.
Jawaban: """
full_prompt = prompt_template.format(human_prompt=prompt)
tokens = tokenizer(full_prompt, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(tokens["input_ids"], max_new_tokens=20, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
