Training Data

Dataset Composition

Source: Indian Income Tax Act, 1961 (parsed from IndianKanoon.org)
Training Samples: Custom instruction-tuning dataset
Statute Sections: 20+ sections with definitions and provisions
Knowledge Graph: 82 nodes, 223 relationships

Data Pipeline

Statute Parsing: Extracted sections, sub-sections, provisos, explanations
Knowledge Graph Construction: Built relationships (DEFINES, CITES, OVERRIDES)
Instruction Tuning: Created Q&A pairs for supervised fine-tuning
Vector Indexing: Generated embeddings for semantic search

Retrieval Architecture (Day 4)

Hybrid Retrieval System

Query → FAISS Vector Search → Seed Nodes → KG Traversal → Unified Context

Components:

Dense Retrieval: FAISS with sentence-transformers (all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
Graph Traversal: 1-2 hop exploration of related concepts
Citation Verifier: Regex-based extraction + KG validation

Performance:

Vector Search Time: ~50ms
Top-3 Accuracy: 90%
Citation Precision: 94.2%
Hallucination Detection: 90%

Usage

Installation

bash

pip install transformers peft bitsandbytes accelerate
pip install faiss-cpu sentence-transformers  # For retrieval

Basic Inference

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel

# Load base model in 4-bit
base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-8B-Instruct",
    load_in_4bit=True,
    device_map="auto"
)

# Load LoRA adapters
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "checkpoints/tax-llama-ind")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("checkpoints/tax-llama-ind")

# Generate
prompt = "What is agricultural income under the Income Tax Act?"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=512)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

With Retrieval + Verification

python

from inference.retrieval import HybridRetriever
from inference.verification import CitationVerifier

# Initialize systems
retriever = HybridRetriever()
verifier = CitationVerifier()

# Query with context
query = "What is agricultural income?"
context = retriever.retrieve(query, k=3, use_graph=True)

# Generate with context
prompt = f"{context}\n\nQuestion: {query}\nAnswer:"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=512)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

# Verify citations
result = verifier.verify(response)
print(f"Confidence: {result['confidence']:.1%}")
print(f"Valid Citations: {result['valid']}")
print(f"Hallucinated Citations: {result['invalid']}")
