# Empathetic teacher model |
|
|
|
## Overview |
|
|
|
This is a LLM fine-tuned with real-life, ideally-empathetic teacher-student conversations. |
|
This model processes the recent conversation history and provides guidance on how a teacher might respond to the student's utterance. |
|
|
|
To fine-tune an open-weighted LLM to act as this generic teacher, we have used the following datasets: |
|
the Teacher-Student Chatroom Corpus, TSCCv2 [Caines et al., 2022](https://aclanthology.org/2022.nlp4call-1.3), |
|
CIMA [Stasaski et al., 2020](https://aclanthology.org/2020.bea-1.5), |
|
the Multicultural Classroom Discourse Dataset [Rapanta et al., 2021](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352340921007940), |
|
MathDial [Macina et al., 2023](https://aclanthology.org/2023.findings-emnlp.372), and |
|
Conversational Uptake [Demszky et al., 2021]. |
|
|
|
We are evaluating LLaMa-3 for this task. |
|
Instead of using programmable fine-tuning libraries such as Axolotl ([link](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl)) |
|
or Huggingface TRL ([link](https://github.com/huggingface/trl)), |
|
we are employing the more general command-line LLaMA-Factory ([link](https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory)) toolkit |
|
that facilitates the fine-tuning of various well-known LLMs on custom data. |
|
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning is achieved via the QLoRA method [Dettmers et al., 2023](https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2023/file/1feb87871436031bdc0f2beaa62a049b-Paper-Conference.pdf). |

## Usage Guide |
|
|
|
This project was executed on an Ubuntu 22.04.3 system running Linux kernel 6.8.0-40-generic. |
|
|
|
### Installation |
|
|
|
To get started, you first need to set up the environment using the **LLaMA-Factory** project. Please refer to the official [LLaMA-Factory repository](https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory) for more details. |
|
|
|
You can install the project by running the following commands: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory.git |
|
cd LLaMA-Factory |
|
pip install -e ".[torch,metrics]" |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Execution |
|
In the DeMINT project, the model was utilized to create a REST API. Below is an example of how to configure and run it. |
|
|
|
**Setting Server Configuration** |
|
|
|
To specify the port and server address, use the following environment variables: |
|
|
|
To set the port and the address of the server: |
|
```bash |
|
# Default 8000 |
|
export KIND_TEACHER_PORT=8000 |
|
# Default localhost |
|
export KIND_TEACHER_HOST="localhost" |
|
``` |
|
|
|
**Running the Program** |
|
|
|
Once the environment is configured, you can execute the program by running the following command: |
|
```bash |
|
llamafactory-cli api run_api_inference_1.yaml |
|
``` |
