Eval implementation

^ taken the closet matching numbers from original dataset.

Needle in a Haystack Evaluation

The "Needle in a 出師表" evaluation tests the model's ability to locate and recall important information embedded within a large body of text, using the classic Chinese text 《出師表》 by 諸葛亮.

To run the evaluation, use the script.

Use Cases

Llama-3-Taiwan-70B can be applied to a wide variety of NLP tasks in Traditional Chinese and English, including:

1. 多輪對話

System: You are an AI assistant called Twllm, created by TAME (TAiwan Mixture of Expert) project. User: 嗨，你好！ Assistant: 你好！我今天可以如何協助你？ User: 就想聊天而已.... Assistant: 當然，我很樂意和你聊天！有什麼特別想談論的嗎？

2. RAG（檢索增強生成）

Demo: 可以打開 Search Web on twllm.com

System: You are an AI assistant called Twllm, created by TAME (TAiwan Mixture of Expert) project. User: 明天台大天氣如何？ Assistant: 根據天氣預報，明天台大天氣為陣雨。低溫 24°C。10 到 15 公里/小時的東風。降雨機率為 40%。

3. 格式化輸出, 語言理解, 實體識別, 函數調用

If you are interested in function-calling, I strongly recommend using constrained decoding to turn on json mode.

Example from HW7 in INTRODUCTION TO GENERATIVE AI 2024 SPRING from HUNG-YI LEE (李宏毅)

System: You are an AI assistant called Twllm, created by TAME (TAiwan Mixture of Expert) project. User: 您是電影評論分析師，負責情緒分析。分析每個被評論的句子，評估句子中每個字和標點符號的重要性，並且將結果使用 tuple 的結構列出。 tuple 值的範圍介於 -1 (負向) 到 1 (正向) 之間，然後，將評論分類為正向 (1) 或負向 (-1)。這些需要被評論的句子，包含在標籤中間。輸出範例: [(<單字或標點符號>, ), ...] 根據外媒報導，宏都拉斯在去年3月與台灣斷交，並轉往與中國建交之後，卻遲遲等不到中國的金援，談好要進口宏都拉斯的白蝦也拖延許久，甚至還將白蝦價格殺價至過往與台灣交易的半價，再加上墨西哥同時也中斷了與宏國的白蝦貿易，對當地蝦農可說是雪上加霜。 Assistant: [('根據', 0.2), ('外媒', 0.1), ('報導', -0.1), (',', 0.05), ('宏都拉斯', -0.3), ('在去年3月與台灣斷交， ', -0.5), ('並轉往與中國建交之後， ', -0.4), ('卻遲遲等不到中國的金援， ', -1), ('談好要進口宏都拉斯的白蝦也拖延許久， ', -1), (',甚至還將白蝦價格殺價至過往與台灣交易的半價，再加上墨西哥同時也中斷了與宏國的白蝦貿易，對當地蝦農可說是雪上加霜。 ',-1)] -1

Sample client code, or you can use anything OpenAI-API compatible clients

python

# pip install "openai>=1.0.0"
from openai import OpenAI
# Set OpenAI's API key and API base to use vLLM's API server.
openai_api_key = "EMPTY"
openai_api_base = "http://localhost:8000/v1"

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=openai_api_key,
    base_url=openai_api_base,
)

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="yentinglin/Llama-3-Taiwan-70B-Instruct-rc1",
