[May 31, 2023] Initial release: We released the first version of SelFee! Check out the blog post for more details.
This is the repository for the KAIST SelFee project, which aims to build and share an instruction-following LLaMA model. This repo mainly has five contents:
- The selection process of the 178K training data for SelFee (detail, code).
- The generation process for the training data and its result. (detail, code).
- The training process for the model (detail, code).
- The inference process for the model (detail, code).
- The evaluation method and dataset (detail, code).
This repository is based on the Stanford-Alpaca and Vicuna repository. Thanks to all the contributors for these awesome repositories!! 🙌
We highly recommend you read our blog post for more details about the model.
For data collection, we collected datasets from five different fields. These are the Stanford Alpaca dataset, math collection, code collection, Flan collection, and ShareGPT. We provide code that we used to make a dataset for training. We also provide code how we preprocessed ShareGPT. For ShareGPT, we only use the first (question, answer) pair from human and GPT, respectively. We only use instances which are classified as english,and filter instance which is not a form of question. For other datsets, we do not need special data collection method.
To train our model with high-quality instructions and answer pairs, we utilized data augmentation using OpenAI API calls. The process involved three steps.
Firstly, we collected various instructions from multiple fields and fed them to ChatGPT to generate answers.
Secondly, we gathered feedback on the generated answer by querying ChatGPT again and asked it to determine if the initial answer required any revision.
Thirdly, if a revision was necessary, we passed the instruction, initial answer, and feedback pair to ChatGPT to generate a revised answer and its feedback pair.
We repeated the process until we received feedback that required no further revision or hit the maximum iteration. However, due to the token limitation of the ChatGPT API, we had to truncate some instances that needed more than 4096 tokens while augmenting.
You can see the details with command here.
*We provide the whole dataset after collection and augmentation using huggingface(code), so you can either use the code or follow our data merging step to replicate the training dataset. Feel free to use any of them!
We utilize FastChat to train the model. Given the instruction, we fine-tune the model to generate the answer and feedback chain (including the revisions).
To reproduce the training procedure, here are the steps.
pip install -r requirements.txt

The hyperparameters are as follows, following Vicuna and Alpaca.
| Hyperparameter | Global Batch Size | Learning rate | Epochs | Max length | Weight decay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SelFee (7B, 13B) | 128 | 2e-5 | 3 | 2048 | 0 |
Restoring checkpoint using diff
We provide diff weight and code which can restore the same model with SelFee. To restore the original SelFee weight, you first need to convert the Meta's original LLAMA checkpoint into huggingface format into your local machine. Once you are done, you can restore the same checkpoint of our model by using the following command
python inference/apply_delta.py --path_raw {path_to_llama_7b} --path_tuned /ckpt/selfee-7b --path_diff kaist-ai/selfee-7b-delta
Autonomous Inference Mode
Because SelFee is trained to generate iterative feedback and revisions until the response is satisfying, it automatically generates iterative feedback and revisions on a single forward pass. The model autonomously decides when to stop generating revisions based on the feedback. If the feedback chain ends with sequences like Revision is not needed., the model autonomously terminates generation.
For autonomous inference mode,
python inference/inference.py --model-path "ckpt/selfee-7b" --model-id "selfee" --question-file "evaluation/template/question.jsonl" --answer-file "evaluation/answer/selfee_7b_autonomous.jsonl"
Revision Enforce Inference Mode
We observed that increasing the minimum number of required revisions corresponds to a corresponding increase in performance. To enforce revisions, we automatically replace sequences such as Revision is not needed. into Revision is needed. during self-feedback generation. Because SelFee is trained to generate Revision {index}: after the sequence of Revision is needed., the model would continually revise the answer.
For revision enforce inference mode, use the max-num-revision argument.
python inference/inference.py --model-path "ckpt/selfee-7b" --model-id "selfee" --question-file "evaluation/template/question.jsonl" --answer-file "evaluation/answer/selfee_7b_enforce_3_revision.jsonl" --max-num-revision 3
Following evaluation setting of Vicuna, we evaluate on 80 diverse queries and utilize GPT-4 language model as the evaluator, scoring a model's response relative to ChatGPT's response. One of the difference with Vicuna evaluation is that due to positional bias of GPT-4, we employ a bidirectional evaluation setting. This means that each evaluation instance is inferred twice, depending on its position.
We release the inference result of SelFee in the folder of evaluation/answer and also the scores generated by GPT-4 in the folder of evaluation/review.
First, you need to get your API key to get access to the GPT-4 API.
export OPENAI_API_KEYS={personal_key}
To compare the performance of a generation result (for example, located on evaluation/answer/file_A.jsonl) with another generation result (located on evaluation/anwer/file_B.jsonl),
python evaluation/gpt4_automatic_evaluation.py -q evaluation/template/question.jsonl -a evaluation/answer/file_A.jsonl evaluation/answer/file_B.jsonl -p evaluation/template/prompt.jsonl -r evaluation/template/reviewer.jsonl -o evaluation/review/A_vs_B.jsonl
To mitigate the positional bias of GPT-4 model, we apply a bidirectional evaluation setting. Therefore, automatic evaluation with opposite position is also needed.
python evaluation/gpt4_automatic_evaluation.py -q evaluation/template/question.jsonl -a evaluation/answer/file_B.jsonl evaluation/answer/file_A.jsonl -p evaluation/template/prompt.jsonl -r evaluation/template/reviewer.jsonl -o evaluation/review/B_vs_A.jsonl
Similar to other LLaMA-finetuned models, SelFee also make some mistakes especially for math, reasoning, factuality, and coding tasks. Although our performance outperforms ChatGPT on Vicuna setting, the evaluation setting contains some limitations in terms of comprehension (limited to 80 queries), inconsistency, and unreliability. Therefore, further research for a better evaluation setting is needed. Please take these claims with a grain of salt.
