Description

Current training uses ConstantLengthDataset. This dataset return fixed length of tokens (2048) in every step, however, the total number of steps are calculated based on the number of samples. I checked some samples and found that quite a few of them are much longer than 2048 (~7000), this means that some of the samples have never been seen in one epoch of training.

Could you please verify if my understanding is correct?

Thanks, appreciate.
