Bonito Experiments

Bonito is an open-source model for generating task-specific synthetic instruction tuning datasets conditioned on unannotated text.

This repo contains code to reproduce the experiments from the Bonito paper. For the Bonito package, see the bonito repo.

Installation

To install all the relevant packages, run the following:

conda create -n bonito-experiments python==3.9
conda activate bonito-experiments
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Training

To train models, run the following script:

deepspeed training/train_decoder.py --model_name_or_path mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 --supervision_source bonito --dataset_name pubmed_qa --output_dir output/models/bonito_pubmed_qa_mistral

Options:

• model_name_or_path: The model to train. We consider {mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1, meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf, mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2} in our experiments. You can train on any language model of your choice. Default is mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1.
• supervision_source: The source of supervision to train the model. This includes either synthetic instruction instruction dataset, or unnoatated texts, or general instruction tuning dataset. Your choices include {bonito, dapt, mistral_instruct, zephyr_beta, p3}. Default is bonito.
• dataset_name: The synthetic dataset. Your choices include {pubmed_qa, privacy_qa, squadshifts_nyt, squadshifts_amazon, squadshifts_reddit, contract_nli, vitaminc}. All the datasets are retrieved from BatsResearch/bonito-experiment.
• checkpoint_model_id_or_path (Optional): This loads the LoRA adapter instruction tuned on P3. This is dependent on the model_name_or_path. Use BatsResearch/Mistral-7B-v0.1-P3 for mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 and BatsResearch/Llama-2-7b-hf-P3 for meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf model. You can also pass a local checkpoint. Default is None.

Notes:

1. If you are using a multi-gpu environment, ensure you adjust the per_device_train_batch_size and gradient_accumulation_steps to achieve an effective batch size of 16.
2. We train the model for 10,000 steps. If the dataset has fewer than 160,000 samples, then we train for 1 epoch.

Evaluation

We evaluate the pretrained and fine-tuned models on prompted datasets. We use ranked evaluation for pubmed_qa, privacy_qa, contract_nli, and vitaminc and SQuAD evaluation for squadshifts_nyt, squadshifts_amazon, and squadshifts_reddit. All the evaluation datasets are uploaded to BatsResearch/bonito-experiment-eval.

Ranked Evaluation

The following script evaluates the model on the target dataset:

deepspeed evaluation/evaluate_decoder.py --dataset_name pubmed_qa --model_name_or_path mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 --checkpoint_model_id_or_path <checkpoint_path> --output_dir results/bonito-mistral-pubmed_qa --bf16

Options:

• checkpoint_model_id_or_path: path to the checkpoint directory or the huggingface model id. This is the path to the trained model. Default is None.
• model_name_or_path: The model to evaluate. We consider {mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1, meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf, mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2} in our experiments. You can evaluate any language model of your choice. Default is mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1.
• dataset_name: the evaluation dataset. Your choices include {pubmed_qa, privacy_qa, contract_nli, vitaminc}. Default is None.
• output_dir: the directory to save the evaluation results. Default is results.

Additional options:

• template_name: runs evaluation for a specific template in the dataset. See the jinja templates for See the jinja templates for pubmed_qa, privacy_qa, contract_nli, and vitaminc in templates directory. in templates directory. Default is None.

SQuAD Evaluation

The following script merges the base model with the checkpoint adapter and evaluates the model on five templates from the SQuADShifts dataset:

python3 evaluation/merge_and_evaluate_squad.py --dataset_name squadshifts_nyt --model_name_or_path mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 --checkpoint_model_id_or_path <checkpoint_path> --output_dir results/bonito-mistral-squadshifts_nyt

Options:

• checkpoint_model_id_or_path: path to the checkpoint directory or the huggingface model id. This is the path to the trained model. Default is None.
• model_name_or_path: The model to evaluate. We consider {mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1, meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf, mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2} in our experiments. You can evaluate any language model of your choice. Default is mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1.
• dataset_name: the evaluation dataset. Your choices include {squadshifts_nyt, squadshifts_amazon, squadshifts_reddit}. Default is None.
• output_dir: the directory to save the evaluation results. Default is results.

Notes:

1. We use SQuADShifts templates from promptsource.
2. The merging operation saves a new model in the scratch directory. Change --scratch path to save the model in a different directory. Additionally ensure you have enough space to save the model.

Training the Bonito Model

Generating CTGA-v1 Training Dataset

To generate the CTGA-v1 dataset, run the following script:

python3 ctga/task_type_bonito.py --output_dir output/dataset/ctga-v1

Training

To train the Bonito model, run the following script:

deepspeed training/train_decoder.py --model_name_or_path mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 --training_type="bonito_training" --dataset_name ctga-v1 --output_dir output/model/bonito_ctga-v1_mistral --max_steps 100000 --max_eval_samples 10000 --save_steps 10000 --save_total_limit 10

Generating Instruction Tuning Datasets with Bonito

To generate instruction tuning datasets, run the following script:

python3 generation/generate_data.py --model_name_or_path BatsResearch/bonito-v1 --output_dir output/dataset/contract_nli --dataset_name contract_nli --task_type nli

Options:
