## LongForm-T5-XL
The LongForm dataset is created by leveraging English corpus examples with augmented instructions. We select a diverse set of human-written documents from existing corpora such as C4 and Wikipedia and generate instructions for the given documents via LLMs. Then, we extend these examples with structured corpora examples such as Stack Exchange and WikiHow and task examples such as question answering, email writing, grammar error correction, story/poem generation, and text summarization.

## How to Load
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("akoksal/LongForm-T5-XL")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("akoksal/LongForm-T5-XL")

instruction = "Write an essay about meditation."
torch.manual_seed(42)
input_ids = tokenizer(instruction, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
target_ids = model.generate(input_ids, do_sample=True, max_new_tokens=50, top_p=0.9)
tokenizer.decode(target_ids[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
# Output:
# > Meditation is an ancient, spiritual practice. Meditation was first\
# practiced as early as 3000 BC by Indians. Meditation has been practiced\
# by people for thousands of years. People meditate in order to become more\
# present in their life. Meditation is
```

## Evaluation
We provide in-depth evaluation of LongForm models and baselines in the paper. We present the METEOR scores of models in out-of-domain datasets. In all tasks, Recipe Generation (RGen), long-form question answering (ELI5), short story generation (WritingPrompts/WP), LongForm models outperform prior instruction-tuned models.

‡: We can just release the difference between LongForm-LLaMA-7B and pretrained LLaMA-7B publicly due to restrictions of LLaMA models.

## Limitations
The LongForm dataset and models mainly focus on long text generation and have limitations regarding structured prediction tasks in NLP. Additionally, we observe that LongForm models may present hallucination problems similar to those found in LLMs.

## License
The LongForm project is subject to a MIT License with custom limitations for restrictions imposed by OpenAI (for the instruction generation part), as well as the license of language models (OPT, LLaMA, and T5).
