Instruction Pre-Training: Language Models are Supervised Multitask Learners

This repo contains the biomedicine model developed from Llama3-8B in our paper Instruction Pre-Training: Language Models are Supervised Multitask Learners.

We explore supervised multitask pre-training by proposing Instruction Pre-Training, a framework that scalably augments massive raw corpora with instruction-response pairs to pre-train language models. The instruction-response pairs are generated by an efficient instruction synthesizer built on open-source models. Instruction Pre-Training outperforms Vanilla Pre-training in both general pre-training from scratch and domain-adaptive continual pre-training. In pre-training from scratch, Instruction Pre-Training not only improves pre-trained base models but also benefits more from further instruction tuning. In continual pre-training, Instruction Pre-Training enables Llama3-8B to be comparable to or even outperform Llama3-70B.

Domain-Adaptive Continued Pre-Training

Following AdaptLLM, we augment the domain-specific raw corpora with instruction-response pairs generated by our context-based instruction synthesizer.

1. To chat with the biomedicine-Llama3-8B model:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("instruction-pretrain/medicine-Llama3-8B")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("instruction-pretrain/medicine-Llama3-8B")

# Put your input here, NO prompt template is required
user_input = '''Question: Which of the following is an example of monosomy?
Options:
- 46,XX
- 47,XXX
- 69,XYY
- 45,X

Please provide your choice first and then provide explanations if possible.'''

inputs = tokenizer(user_input, return_tensors="pt", add_special_tokens=True).input_ids.to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(input_ids=inputs, max_new_tokens=400)[0]

answer_start = int(inputs.shape[-1])
pred = tokenizer.decode(outputs[answer_start:], skip_special_tokens=True)

print(pred)

2. To evaluate our models on the domain-specific tasks

Setup dependencies

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/LMOps
cd LMOps/adaptllm
pip install -r requirements.txt

Evaluate

DOMAIN='biomedicine'

# if the model can fit on a single GPU: set MODEL_PARALLEL=False
# elif the model is too large to fit on a single GPU: set MODEL_PARALLEL=True
MODEL_PARALLEL=False

# number of GPUs, chosen from [1,2,4,8]
N_GPU=1

# Set as True
add_bos_token=True

bash scripts/inference.sh ${DOMAIN} 'instruction-pretrain/medicine-Llama3-8B' ${add_bos_token} ${MODEL_PARALLEL} ${N_GPU}
