About Ask2Democracy project


## About Ask2Democracy project This model was developed as part of the Ask2Democracy project during the 2023 Somos NLP Hackathon. Our focus during the hackathon was on enhancing the generative capabilities in spanish training an open source model for this purpose, which is intended to be incorporated into the space demo. However, we encountered performance limitations due to the model's large size, which caused issues when running it on limited hardware. Specifically, we observed an inference time of approximately 70 seconds when using a GPU. To address this issue, we are currently working on optimizing ways to integrate the model into the AskDemocracy space demo. Remaining work is required in order to improve the model's performance. [AskDemocracy space demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/jorge-henao/ask2democracycol) ## What's baizemocracy-lora-7B-cfqa-conv model? This model is an open-source chat model fine-tuned with [LoRA](https://github.com/microsoft/LoRA) inspired by [Baize project](https://github.com/project-baize/baize-chatbot/tree/main/). It was trained with the Baize datasets and the ask2democracy-cfqa-salud-pension dataset, wich contains almost 4k instructions to answers questions based on a context relevant to citizen concerns and public debate in spanish. Two model variations was trained during the Hackathon Somos NLP 2023: - A conversational style focused model - A generative context focused model This model variation is focused in a more conversational way of asking questions. See Pre-proccessing dataset section. There is other model variation more focused on source based augmented retrieval generation [Baizemocracy-RAGfocused](https://huggingface.co/hackathon-somos-nlp-2023/baizemocracy-lora-7B-cfqa). Testing is a work in progress, we decide to share both model variations with community in order to invovle more people experimenting what it works better and find other possible use cases. - **Developed by:** - 馃嚚馃嚧 [Jorge Henao](https://huggingface.co/jorge-henao) - 馃嚚馃嚧 [David Torres ](https://github.com/datorresb) ## Training Parameters - Base Model: [LLaMA-7B](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.13971.pdf) - Training Epoch: 1 - Batch Size: 16 - Maximum Input Length: 512 - Learning Rate: 2e-4 - LoRA Rank: 8 - Updated Modules: All Linears ## Training Dataset - [Ask2Democracy-cfqa-salud-pension](https://huggingface.co/datasets/hackathon-somos-nlp-2023/ask2democracy-cfqa-salud-pension) (3,806) - [Standford Alpaca](https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca) (51,942) - [Quora Dialogs](https://github.com/project-baize/baize) (54,456): - [StackOverflow Dialogs](https://github.com/project-baize/baize) (57,046) - [Alpacaca chat Dialogs](https://github.com/project-baize/baize) - [Medical chat Dialogs](https://github.com/project-baize/baize) ## About pre-processing Ask2Democracy-cfqa-salud-pension dataset was pre-processed in a conversational style in two variations like this: ```python def format_instruction_without_context(example): example["topic"] = example['input'] input = "La conversaci贸n entre un humano y un asistente de IA." input += "\n[|Human|] "+example['input'] input += "\n[|AI|] "+example["output"] if len(example["topics"])>0: topics = ", ".join(example["topics"]) input += "\n[|Human|] "+"驴En cu谩les t贸picos clasificar铆as su respuesta?" input += "\n[|AI|] "+f"Aqu铆 una lista de t贸picos: {topics}." example["topic"] += f" ({topics})" example["input"] = input return example` def format_instruction_with_context(example): example["topic"] = example['input'] context = example['instruction'].replace("Given the context please answer the question. Context:","") context = ' '.join(context.strip().split())[1:-3] input = "La conversaci贸n entre un humano y un asistente de IA." input += "\n[|Human|] "+example['input']+f"\nPara responder la pregunta, usa el siguiente contexto:\n{context}" input += "\n[|AI|] "+example["output"] if len(example["topics"])>0: topics = ", ".join(example["topics"]) input += "\n[|Human|] "+"驴En cu谩les t贸picos clasificar铆as su respuesta?" input += "\n[|AI|] "+f"Aqu铆 una lista de t贸picos: {topics}." example["topic"] += f" ({topics})" example["input"] = input return example ``` More details can be found in the Ask2Democracy [GitHub](https://github.com/jorge-henao/ask2democracy)
