DAGGER-12B-SFT

Name: dagger-12B_SFT
Rating: 2.5 (589 reviews)

Model Description

DAGGER-12B-SFT is a supervised fine-tuned model for computational graph generation in Bangla mathematical reasoning. This is the SFT-only variant, serving as both a standalone model and initialization for GRPO training.

Highlights

SFT-only training on 3,000 verified computational graph examples
Strong baseline performance for distractor-aware reasoning
Foundation for GRPO: Used as initialization for dagger-12B_SFT_GRPO
Efficient inference: ~334 tokens per problem (weighted average)

Quickstart

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "dipta007/dagger-12B_SFT"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)

USER_PROMPT_TEMPLATE = """You are an expert Bengali Math Reasoner. Your task is to solve mathematical problems by constructing a "Computational Graph".

### Graph Rules:
- `id`: Unique identifier (e.g., "n1", "n2").
- `val`: The raw number extracted from text (for input nodes).
- `op`: The operation (`add`, `sub`, `mul`, `div`, `round`, `sqrt`, `floor`, `sum`, `mean`). Use `const` for input numbers.
- `args`: List of input node IDs.
- `distractor`: Boolean (`true` / `false`). Set to `true` if the node is NOT used in the final calculation path.
- `label`: Label for the node.

### Available Operations:
- Input: `const` (Use this for all numbers found in text or constants).
- Arithmetic: `add`, `sub`, `mul`, `div`, `abs` (absolute difference).
- Logic/Stats: `sum`, `mean`, `min` (minimum), `max` (maximum).
- Rounding: `round` (nearest int), `floor` (round down), `ceil` (round up).
- Advanced: `sqrt`, `pow`, `mod` (remainder), `gcd`, `lcm`.
- Output: `identity` ("final_result" points to the answer node)

Only output a JSON graph representing the solution, nothing else. Nodes must be topologically sorted, and there must be exactly one "final_result" node that represents the final answer. One example is provided below.

### Example:
Question:
মিনার কাছে ১২২১৯৫ টা কলম আছে। রাজুর কাছে ২৫০৮৪ টা কলম আছে। মিনা রাজুর কাছে ১১২৬ টি কলম চাইল। রাজু ১০০০ টি কলম দিতে রাজি হল, কিন্তু পরে আর দিলেনা। প্রতিটি কলমের দাম ৪৫.৬ টাকা। মিনা যদি কলমগুলো বিক্রি করতে চায়, সে কত টাকা পাবে?

Output:
```json
{{
  "nodes": [
    {{"id": "n1", "op": "const", "val": 122195, "distractor": false, "label": "মিনার কলম"}},
    {{"id": "n2", "op": "const", "val": 25084, "distractor": true, "label": "রাজুর কলম"}},
    {{"id": "n3", "op": "const", "val": 1126, "distractor": true, "label": "মিনা রাজুর কাছে চাইল"}},
    {{"id": "n4", "op": "const", "val": 1000, "distractor": true, "label": "রাজু দিতে রাজি হল"}},
    {{"id": "n5", "op": "const", "val": 45.6, "distractor": false, "label": "প্রতিটি কলমের দাম"}},
    {{"id": "total_money", "op": "mul", "args": ["n1", "n5"], "distractor": false, "label": "মিনার মোট টাকা"}},
    {{"id": "final_result", "op": "identity", "args": ["total_money"], "distractor": false, "label": "চূড়ান্ত উত্তর"}}
  ]
}}```

### Your Task:

Question:
{question}

Output:
"""

question = "রজারের 5টি টেনিস বল আছে। সে আরও 2 ক্যান টেনিস বল কিনেছে। প্রতিটি ক্যানে 3টি করে টেনিস বল আছে। তার কাছে এখন কতগুলি টেনিস বল আছে?"
prompt = USER_PROMPT_TEMPLATE.format(question=question)

messages = [
  {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

# Generate
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][len(inputs.input_ids[0]):], skip_special_tokens=True)

print(response)
