# SLIM-BOOLEAN

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

**slim-boolean** is an experimental model designed to implement a boolean question answering function call using a 2.7B parameter specialized model.   As an input, the model takes a context passage, a yes-no question, and an optional (explain) parameter, and as output, the model generates a python dictionary with two keys - 'answer' which contains the 'yes/no' classification, and 'explain' which provides a text snippet from the passage that was the basis for the classification, e.g.:   

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`{'answer': ['yes'], 'explanation': ['the results exceeded expectations by 3%'] }`  

This model is fine-tuned on top of [**llmware/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0**](https://huggingface.co/llmware/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0), which in turn, is a fine-tune of stabilityai/stablelm-3b-4elt.

For fast inference, we would recommend using the'quantized tool' version, e.g.,  [**'slim-boolean-tool'**](https://huggingface.co/llmware/slim-boolean-tool).  


## Prompt format:

`function = "boolean"`  
`params = "{insert yes-no-question} (explain)"`  
`prompt = "<human> " + {text} + "\n" + `  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;`"<{function}> " + {params} + "</{function}>" + "\n<bot>:"`
