Adaptive Engram Memory System for Indonesian Language Model: Generative AI Based on TOBA LM for Batak and Minang Language
arXiv:2603.10006v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study presents TOBA-LM, a trilingual language model based on GPT-2 architecture with 1.2 billion parameters, trained on a corpus encompassing Indonesian, Batak, and Minangkabau using syllabic-agglutinative tokenization. The architecture integrates an Engram Memory mechanism, an adaptive n-gram-based memory system with a 500,000 x 768 embedding table that captures morphological dependencies through bigram and trigram pathways. Empirical results demonstrate a training efficiency of 80%, with the loss value dropping from 6.4 to 1.7996 in only 12,973 steps -- significantly faster than the conventional transformer architecture, which required over 70,000 steps to achieve comparable convergence. These findings confirm that the integration of external statistical memory substantially reduces computational requirements for developing regional language models under limited resources.
