# Gemma2 9B for Sinhala: 100 target vocabulary size + Mean target vocabulary initialization + T&B2LS/MTP/512 training

This model is built on top of Gemma2 9B adapted for Sinhala using 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100.

## Model Details

* **Vocabulary**: This model has an additional 100 target vocabulary.
* **Target vocabulary initialization**: The target weights of the embedding were initialized using Mean initialization.
* **Training**: This model was additionally pre-trained on 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100. The training was conducted with the T&B2LS/MTP/512 strategies introduced in the paper.

## Model Description

- **Language:** Sinhala
