a form of asbestos once used to make kent cigarette filters has caused a high percentage of cancer deaths among a group of workers exposed to it more than N years ago researchers reported |
the asbestos fiber <unk> is unusually <unk> once it enters the <unk> with even brief exposures to it causing symptoms that show up decades later researchers said |
<unk> inc. the unit of new york-based <unk> corp. that makes kent cigarettes stopped using <unk> in its <unk> cigarette filters in N |
although preliminary findings were reported more than a year ago the latest results appear in today 's new england journal of medicine a forum likely to bring new attention to the problem |
a <unk> <unk> said this is an old story |
we 're talking about years ago before anyone heard of asbestos having any questionable properties |
there is no asbestos in our products now |
neither <unk> nor the researchers who studied the workers were aware of any research on smokers of the kent cigarettes |
we have no useful information on whether users are at risk said james a. <unk> of boston 's <unk> cancer institute |
dr. <unk> led a team of researchers from the national cancer institute and the medical schools of harvard university and boston university |
the <unk> spokeswoman said asbestos was used in very modest amounts in making paper for the filters in the early 1950s and replaced with a different type of <unk> in N |
from N to N N billion kent cigarettes with the filters were sold the company said |
among N men who worked closely with the substance N have died more than three times the expected number |
four of the five surviving workers have <unk> diseases including three with recently <unk> cancer |
the total of N deaths from malignant <unk> lung cancer and <unk> was far higher than expected the researchers said |
the <unk> rate is a striking finding among those of us who study <unk> diseases said dr. <unk> |
the percentage of lung cancer deaths among the workers at the west <unk> mass. paper factory appears to be the highest for any asbestos workers studied in western industrialized countries he said |
the plant which is owned by <unk> & <unk> co. was under contract with <unk> to make the cigarette filters |
the finding probably will support those who argue that the u.s. should regulate the class of asbestos including <unk> more <unk> than the common kind of asbestos <unk> found in most schools and other buildings dr. <unk> said |
the u.s. is one of the few industrialized nations that does n't have a higher standard of regulation for the smooth <unk> fibers such as <unk> that are classified as <unk> according to <unk> t. <unk> a professor of <unk> at the university of vermont college of medicine |
more common <unk> fibers are <unk> and are more easily rejected by the body dr. <unk> explained |
in july the environmental protection agency imposed a gradual ban on virtually all uses of asbestos |
by N almost all remaining uses of <unk> asbestos will be outlawed |
about N workers at a factory that made paper for the kent filters were exposed to asbestos in the 1950s |
areas of the factory were particularly dusty where the <unk> was used |
workers dumped large <unk> <unk> of the imported material into a huge <unk> poured in cotton and <unk> fibers and <unk> mixed the dry fibers in a process used to make filters |
workers described clouds of blue dust that hung over parts of the factory even though <unk> fans <unk> the area |
there 's no question that some of those workers and managers contracted <unk> diseases said <unk> phillips vice president of human resources for <unk> & <unk> |
but you have to recognize that these events took place N years ago |
it has no bearing on our work force today |
yields on money-market mutual funds continued to slide amid signs that portfolio managers expect further declines in interest rates |

Input files for generating the Importance Matrix
Which file to use for generating the importance matrix
Not all importance matrices are equal. The best results are obtained when using a source file similar to the training data. Size also matters: the bigger the model (eg: 70b vs 13b) and the higher the quant (eg: q6k_ vs iq3_xs), the bigger the source file needs to be to make an impact. Multiple input files can be combined if needed; for example:
cat multilingual.txt code.txt badwords_multilingual.txt > custom_multilingual.matrix
Note on context size when generating the matrix: in general, a small context size such as 512 is recommended, and community tests have shown it usually performs than a larger one such as 4096. However, I would argue this is is highly dependent on the source data you are using: with random tokens or short text a small context makes sense; but when using larger texts, a larger context matching the size of the texts might be a better choice. Remember that the size is in tokens, which roughly translates to number of words, not characters.
Another important factor to consider is, an importance matrix based on english language only will degrade the model multingual capabilities. Therefore the use of multilingual matrices are especially important when considering models like Mistral or Command-R. The same applies to coding capabilities. Choose carefully based on the model strength.
You will find below descriptions for the various input files provided, to help you choose the correct one.

"Here is a decent general purpose imatrix calibration dataset. It should be more diverse than wikitext at ~30k tokens, as it is excerpts of a larger dataset which includes coding examples (which seems quite important!)
This means it's generally higher entropy data compared to wikitext, and it's real data rather than pseudo-randomly generated data.
I get lower KL div than wikitext for the same length and the outputs seem qualitatively better." (kalomaze)

ptb.train
Penn Treebank (PTB) is a widely used preprocessed large dataset designed for language training. Casing,
punctuation and numbers have been removed from the training data. Recently it has kind of been superseeded
by WikiText which does not have these removals, features a larger vocabulary and full articles (better
suited for models that can take advantage of long term dependencies). However, for importantce matrix training,
PTB is still a valid dataset, which has the advantage of being manually curated, and similar to WikiText,
without being WikiText; this can help against bias.
WikiText
The WikiText language modeling dataset is a collection of over 100 million tokens extracted from the set of
verified Good and Featured articles on Wikipedia. Compared to PTB, WikiText-2 is over 2 times larger and
WikiText-103 is over 110 times larger. As it is composed of full articles, the dataset is well suited for models
that can take advantage of long term dependencies.

WikiText_FR
70 million tokens extracted from the set of french Wikipedia articles that are classified as "quality articles"
or "good articles".

c4
The C4 dataset is a collection text sourced from the public Common Crawl web scrape.
It includes heuristics to extract only natural language (as opposed to boilerplate and other gibberish)
in addition to extensive deduplication. C4 dataset was explicitly designed to be English only:
any page that was not given a probability of at least 99% of being English by langdetect was discarded.

How to quantize using an imatrix, with llama.cpp
- Get one of the input files collected here, or elsewhere.
- Convert or download the model you want to quantise, in fp16 GGUF format.
- Generate an imatrix file specific to the model you want to quantise
cd <llama.cpp directory>
./imatrix -m <model_path>/ggml-model-f16.gguf -f <plain_text_matrix_file> -o <output.matrix> -t 12 -ngl 144 --chunks 100 -b 512 -c 512
# -ngl : layers offloaded to gpu (recommended to use number of layers the model contains)
# -t 12 : number of threads (should probably match no of cpu)
# -c 512 : context size, testing seems to show 512 is recommended (default=512, 0=loaded from model)
# -b 200 : batch size (default=512)
# --chunks 100 (recommended)
# --mlock : keep model in ram (only use if you had sufficient RAM for the whole fp16)
- Use the generated matrix file to quantise the model (see further down for some pre-computed matrix files)
./quantize --imatrix <output.matrix> <model_path>/ggml-model-f16.gguf <quantisation_level, eg:IQ4_XS>
Note: normal quantisation also benefits from using a matrix file. It also seem that a bigger input matrix is better for higher quantisation.
Pre-computed matrix files
Since generating a matrix files takes time and requires significant processing power and memory, some kind folks have made available pre-computed matrix files. You can use those directly in the quantize process. However, remember they can only be used for the specific model mentioned, and no other.
