Legal Language Model

This is a fine-tuned version of the SmolLM2-135M-Instruct model, trained on legal texts from the Indian-Law dataset by vishnun0027 on Hugging Face.

🤗 Model Availability

The model is publicly available on Hugging Face: saicharan1010/SmolLM2-FT-legal-india

Model Information

• Base Model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct
• Dataset: Indian-Law (25,600 instruction-response pairs after cleaning)
• Training: Fine-tuned using SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning)

Training Details

• Training Steps: 1,000 steps
• Batch Size: 16
• Learning Rate: 5e-5
• Final Training Loss: 1.086

Performance Evaluation

Evaluation on 1,280 test samples showed improved legal reasoning compared to the base model:

• BLEU Score: 0.126 (compared to base model's 0.121)
• ROUGE-L F-Score: 0.304

Usage

Using Transformers Library

from transformers import pipeline, AutoTokenizer
# Load tokenizer and create pipeline
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("saicharan1010/SmolLM2-FT-legal-india")
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="saicharan1010/SmolLM2-FT-legal-india")
# Format with chat template
prompt = "Can a Vakalatnama be revoked or withdrawn in India?"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
formatted_prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
# Generate response
response = pipe(formatted_prompt, max_new_tokens=200)
print(response[0]['generated_text'])

This model is specifically optimized for legal language tasks in the Indian context. It shows improved understanding of Indian legal terminology and concepts compared to the base model.

Training procedure

This model was trained with SFT.
