Adapt (Large) Language Models to Domains
This repo contains the domain-specific base model developed from LLaMA-1-13B, using the method in our paper Adapting Large Language Models via Reading Comprehension.
We explore continued pre-training on domain-specific corpora for large language models. While this approach enriches LLMs with domain knowledge, it significantly hurts their prompting ability for question answering. Inspired by human learning via reading comprehension, we propose a simple method to transform large-scale pre-training corpora into reading comprehension texts, consistently improving prompting performance across tasks in biomedicine, finance, and law domains. Our 7B model competes with much larger domain-specific models like BloombergGPT-50B.
🤗 We are currently working hard on developing models across different domains, scales and architectures! Please stay tuned! 🤗
**************************** Updates ****************************
- 12/19: Released our 13B base models developed from LLaMA-1-13B.
- 12/8: Released our chat models developed from LLaMA-2-Chat-7B.
- 9/18: Released our paper, code, data, and base models developed from LLaMA-1-7B.
Domain-Specific LLaMA-1
LLaMA-1-7B
In our paper, we develop three domain-specific models from LLaMA-1-7B, which are also available in Huggingface: Biomedicine-LLM, Finance-LLM and Law-LLM, the performances of our AdaptLLM compared to other domain-specific LLMs are:
LLaMA-1-13B
Moreover, we scale up our base model to LLaMA-1-13B to see if our method is similarly effective for larger-scale models, and the results are consistently positive too: Biomedicine-LLM-13B, Finance-LLM-13B and Law-LLM-13B.
Domain-Specific LLaMA-2-Chat
Our method is also effective for aligned models! LLaMA-2-Chat requires a specific data format, and our reading comprehension can perfectly fit the data format by transforming the reading comprehension into a multi-turn conversation. We have also open-sourced chat models in different domains: Biomedicine-Chat, Finance-Chat and Law-Chat
For example, to chat with the law model:
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("AdaptLLM/law-chat")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("AdaptLLM/law-chat", use_fast=False)
# Put your input here:
user_input = '''Question: Which of the following is false about ex post facto laws?
Options:
- They make criminal an act that was innocent when committed.
- They prescribe greater punishment for an act than was prescribed when it was done.
- They increase the evidence required to convict a person than when the act was done.
- They alter criminal offenses or punishment in a substantially prejudicial manner for the purpose of punishing a person for some past activity.
Please provide your choice first and then provide explanations if possible.'''
# We use the prompt template of LLaMA-2-Chat demo
prompt = f"<s>[INST] <<SYS>>\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe. Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature.\n\nIf a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something not correct. If you don't know the answer to a question, please don't share false information.\n<</SYS>>\n\n{user_input} [/INST]"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", add_special_tokens=False).input_ids.to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(input_ids=inputs, max_length=4096)[0]
answer_start = int(inputs.shape[-1])
pred = tokenizer.decode(outputs[answer_start:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(f'### User Input:\n{user_input}\n\n### Assistant Output:\n{pred}')
Domain-Specific Tasks
To easily reproduce our results, we have uploaded the filled-in zero/few-shot input instructions and output completions of each domain-specific task: biomedicine-tasks, finance-tasks, and law-tasks.
Note: those filled-in instructions are specifically tailored for models before alignment and do NOT fit for the specific data format required for chat models.
