# Model Card for Model ID

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This modelcard aims to be a base template for new models. It has been generated using [this raw template](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src/huggingface_hub/templates/modelcard_template.md?plain=1).

## Model Details

### Model Description

TowerInstruct is a language model that results from fine-tuning TowerBase on the TowerBricks supervised fine-tuning dataset. TowerInstruct v0.1 is the first model in the series. 
The model is trained to handle several translation-related tasks, such as general machine translation (e.g., sentence- and document-level translation, terminology-aware translation, context-aware translation), automatic post edition, named-entity recognition, gramatical error correction, and paraphrase generation. 
We will release more details in the upcoming technical report.


- **Developed by:** Unbabel, Instituto Superior Técnico, CentraleSupélec University of Paris-Saclay 
- **Model type:** A 7B parameter model fine-tuned on a mix of publicly available, synthetic datasets on translation-related tasks, as well as conversational datasets and code instructions.
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Korean, Chinese, Russian
- **License:** CC-BY-NC-4.0
- **Finetuned from model [optional]:** TowerBase

## Intended uses & limitations

The model was initially fine-tuned on a filtered and preprocessed supervised fine-tuning dataset (TowerBricks), which contains a diverse range of data sources:
- Translation
- Automatic Post Edition
- Machine Translation Evaluation
- Context-aware Translation
- Terminology-aware Translation
- Multi-reference Translation
- Named-entity Recognition
- Paraphrase Generation
- Synthetic Chat data 
- Code instructions

You can find the dataset and all data sources of TowerBricks here.
