Qwen-2.5-7B-CPT-SFT-10k

The same SFT recipe, applied on top of the TED translation-CPT checkpoint.

A LoRA adapter (r=64, alpha=128) over jvonrad/Qwen-2.5-7B-TED, trained for the paper Improving Cross-Lingual Factual Recall via Consistency-Driven Reinforcement Learning. It is one arm of a controlled comparison in which SFT, DCO, CM-Align and GRPO all see the same 10,000 facts from jvonrad/PolyFact-Clean across the same 12 languages, so the methods differ only in objective.

Evaluation

Accuracy (%) unless noted. PolyFact-Clean is the 2,039-fact curated test split with byte-normalised log-likelihood scoring; TotCons is the fraction of facts answered correctly in all 12 languages; RankC is RankC@4 (floor 9.02, chance 37.68). KLAR is free-form generation over 17 languages, split into the 7 seen in training and the 10 held out.

Model	PolyFact	TotCons	RankC	BMLAMA-53	G-MMLU-Lite	KLAR seen	KLAR held-out
Base (jvonrad/Qwen-2.5-7B-TED)	46.67	3.97	61.12	25.19	60.61	38.97	23.77

Usage

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("jvonrad/Qwen-2.5-7B-TED", dtype="bfloat16",
                                            device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "jvonrad/Qwen-2.5-7B-CPT-SFT-10k")
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jvonrad/Qwen-2.5-7B-CPT-SFT-10k")

Evaluation used the closed-book prompt Question: {q}\nAnswer: with the options hidden, matching evaluate/evaluate_crosslingual_consistency.py.
