摘要:
大型语言模型(LLMs)在自然语言处理任务中取得了显著成功,但其性能仍然严重偏向高资源语言。藏语,尽管具有文化意义和大量说话人口,仍然严重代表性不足。在本工作中,我们提出了一种全面的管道,通过大规模数据整理和持续预训练推进藏语语言模型。我们构建了72GB的高质量藏语语料库,这是目前最大的语料库,并通过平衡多语言持续预训练与藏语、中文和英语,随后进行多语言指令微调。为了进一步高效扩展容量,我们将密集模型扩展为50B-A10B的混合专家(MoE)架构。由于缺乏标准化的藏语基准,我们通过高质量翻译和人工验证构建了多个评估数据集。实验结果表明,密集和MoE模型在各种任务中均优于现有开源和藏语专用模型。我们的工作推进了以藏语为中心的LLM研究,并为扩展LLM到其他低资源语言提供了可转移的见解。我们将发布模型权重、评估基准和详细数据处理文档。
英文摘要:
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success across a wide range of natural language processing tasks, yet their performance remains heavily biased toward high-resource languages. Tibetan, despite its cultural significance and large speaker population, is still substantially underrepresented. In this work, we present a comprehensive pipeline for advancing Tibetan language modeling through large-scale data curation and continual pre-training. We construct a 72 GB high-quality Tibetan corpus, the largest to date, and adapt Qwen2.5-7B through balanced multilingual continual pre-training with Tibetan, Chinese, and English, followed by multilingual instruction tuning. To further scale capacity efficiently, we extend the dense model to a 50B-A10B Mixture-of-Experts architecture. Due to the absence of standardized Tibetan benchmarks, we build multiple evaluation datasets via high-quality translation and human verification. Experimental results show that both dense and MoE models consistently outperform existing open-source and Tibetan-focused models of similar scale across diverse tasks. Our work advances Tibetan-centric LLM research and provides transferable insights for extending LLMs to other low-resource languages. We will release the model weights, evaluation benchmarks, and detailed data processing documentation in the follow-up.
