Domain Adapted Language Modeling Toolkit

Manifesto

A great rift has emerged between general LLMs and the vector stores that are providing them with contextual information. The unification of these systems is an important step in grounding AI systems in efficient, factual domains, where they are utilized not only for their generality, but for their specificity and uniqueness. To this end, we are excited to open source the Arcee Domain Adapted Language Model (DALM) toolkit for developers to build on top of our Arcee open source Domain Pretrained (DPT) LLMs. We believe that our efforts will help as we begin next phase of language modeling, where organizations deeply tailor AI to operate according to their unique intellectual property and worldview.

Research Contents

This repository primarily contains code for fine-tuning a fully differential Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG-end2end) architecture.

E2E

For the first time in the literature, we modified the initial RAG-end2end model (TACL paper, HuggingFace implementation) to work with decoder-only language models like Llama, Falcon, or GPT. We also incorporated the in-batch negative concept alongside the RAG's marginalization to make the entire process efficient.

  • Inside the training folder, you'll find two codes to train the RAG-end2end and Retriever with contrastive learning.

  • All evaluations related to the Retriever and the Generator are located in the eval folder.

  • Additionally, we have data processing codes and synthetic data generation code inside the datasets folder.

Usage

To perform training and evaluation for both the retriever model and the new rag-e2e model, please adhere to the following steps.

System Requirements

The system reqs depend on the retriever model, generator model, and batch size. But for reference (e2e rag), we used the following for our experiments (eval results below):

  • retriever: BAAI/bge-large-en
  • generator: meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf
  • batch size: 18
  • dataset size: 200k

This took 7 hours on a single A100 GPU (80GB).

Installation

You can install this repo directly via pip install indomain

Alternatively, for development or research, you can clone and install the repo locally:

git clone https://github.com/arcee-ai/DALM.git && cd DALM
pip install --upgrade -e .

This will install the DALM repo and all necessary dependencies.

Make sure things are installed correctly by running dalm version. On an non-intel Mac you may need to downgrade transformers library: pip install transformers==4.30.

Data setup

tl;dr

You can run dalm qa-gen <path-to-dataset> to preprocess your dataset for training. See dalm qa-gen --help for more options
If you do not have a dataset, you can start with ours

# Note - our dataset already has queries and answers, so you don't actually need to run this.
# replace `toy_dataset_train.csv` with your dataset of titles and passages
dalm qa-gen dalm/datasets/toy_data_train.csv
  • The setup for training and evaluation can be effortlessly executed provided you possess a CSV file containing two/three columns: Passage, Query (and Answer if running e2e). You can utilize the script question_answer_generation.py to generate this CSV.
  • It's important to highlight that the retriever-only training method employs solely the passages and queries, whereas the rag-e2e training code utilizes all three columns.
  • In our experiments, we utilize BAAI/bge-large-en as the default retriever and employ meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf as the default generator. The code is designed to be compatible with any embedding model or autoregressive model available in the Hugging Face model repository at https://huggingface.co/models.

Training

You can leverage our scripts directly if you'd like, or you can use the dalm cli. The arguments for both are identical

Evaluation

Summary of how evaluation is done

The Retriever in general is trained to be good at finding the most relevant passages in a corpus given a query.

Given a ground-truth test dataset that is a 200,000-line CSV containing patent abstracts and more importantly this evaluation dataset was not present in the training dataset, the below listed steps were followed:

  1. Use the trained retriever to encode all passages into an ad-hoc indexed vector store using the HNSW library.
  2. Take each query and use the trained retriever to encode it into an embedding vector (QE)
  3. For each encoded passage (PE) in the vector store, find the nearest neighbor similarity search score between QE and PE (Note: with HNSW, exhaustiveness is avoided)
  4. Find the top-K (eg, top 5) best matches based on nearest neighbor similarity search scores
  5. Compare the matches against the ground truth top-K best matches to calculate recall and hit rate.

Results

Type of Retriever Recall Hit rate
Plain Retriever 0.45984 0.45984
Retriever with contrastive learning 0.46037 0.46038
Retriever End2End 0.73634 0.73634
