Foundation language models initially learn and integrate knowledge autonomously through self-supervised pre-training on extensive text data. Subsequently, they acquire the capability to solve geoscience problems through instruction tuning. However, when the foundational language models lack sufficient geoscience expertise, instruction tuning with relevant data can lead to the generation of content that is inconsistent with established facts. To improve the model's accuracy and practicality, a robust geoscience foundational language model is urgently needed.
This study uses [Mistral-7B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1) as the base model and continues pretraining on a large geoscience corpus. It also incorporates the [domain-specific large language model *pre*-pretraining framework (PreparedLLM)](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20964471.2024.2396159) and the "two-stage pre-adaptation pre-training" algorithm to build the geoscience large language model, JiuZhou. ## Download | **Model Series** | **Model** | **Download Link** | **Description** | |-----------------------|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------| | **JiuZhou** | JiuZhou-base | [Huggingface](https://huggingface.co/itpossible/JiuZhou-base) | Base model (Rich in geoscience knowledge) | | **JiuZhou** | JiuZhou-Instruct-v0.1 | [Huggingface](https://huggingface.co/itpossible/Chinese-Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1) | Instruct model (Instruction alignment caused a loss of some geoscience knowledge, but it has instruction-following ability)

Continual pretraining with a small number of geoscience data
Recommended to use JiuZhou | ## Inference Below is an example of inference code using JiuZhou-Instruct-v0.2. ```python import torch from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM device = torch.device("cuda:0") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu") model_path = "itpossible/JiuZhou-Instruct-v0.2" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path) model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map=device) text = "What is geoscience?" messages = [{"role": "user", "content": text}] inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(device) outputs_id = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=600, do_sample=True) outputs = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs_id, skip_special_tokens=True)[0] print(outputs) ``` ## Model Performance ### Geoscience Ability We evaluate the performance of JiuZhou using the GeoBench benchmark.
JiuZhou outperforms GPT-3.5 in objective tasks:



JiuZhou also scores higher than baselines across six criteria in subjective tasks:



### General Ability We evaluate the performance of JiuZhou using three benchmark datasets: C-Eval, CMMLU, and MMLU.
Compared to other variants of Llama and Mistral models, JiuZhou shows outstanding performance:



## Model Training Process ### Training Corpus The corpus consists of 50 million general documents and 3.4 million geoscience-related documents.



### Training Framework We use the JiuZhou-Framework proposed in this study.



### Two-stage Pre-adaptation Pre-training (TSPT) TSPT improves the efficiency of using limited geoscience data and overcomes some of the technical bottlenecks in continual pretraining for LLMs.
The difference between TSPT and single-stage training algorithms:



Comparison of TSPT and one-stage pre-training algorithm performance:
