System for generating DEFT 2023 outputs from LLMs

• Update 2023-09-26: add code to finetune and perform inference with LLaMa2 (performance as good as ChatGPT)

The DEFT'23 shared task consists in answering pharma exam MCQs. This system converts the questions and possible answers to prompts and uses LLMs to generate answers. The approach is described in our paper. It ranked 1st at the shared task. This repository contains scripts to generate prompts, run off-the-shelf models and finetune the LLaMa models. It also contains the LoRA weights for the finetuned models.

This repository uses git LFS for large files. Use 'git lfs clone...' for cloning with the binary files.

Install:

pip install -r requirements.txt # for llama1 
pip install -r requirements.llama2-freeze.txt # for llama2

Note that bitsandbytes may need to be recompiled to support your cuda version. Note that llama2 was finetuned with Python/3.10.10 and CUDA/11.6 on a single A100-80 GPU

See RESULTS for the exact match results on the dev. See runs for how to generate runs. See trains for llama2 finetuning runs.

Note that external APIs require API keys. Rename api_keys.template.py to api_keys.py and set keys you need inside.
