Introduction
MentaLLaMA-chat-13B is part of the
MentaLLaMA project, the first open-source large language model (LLM) series for
interpretable mental health analysis with instruction-following capability. This model is finetuned based on the Meta LLaMA2-chat-13B foundation model and the full IMHI instruction tuning data.
The model is expected to make complex mental health analyses for various mental health conditions and give reliable explanations for each of its predictions.
It is fine-tuned on the IMHI dataset with 75K high-quality natural language instructions to boost its performance in downstream tasks.
We perform a comprehensive evaluation on the IMHI benchmark with 20K test samples. The result shows that MentalLLaMA approaches state-of-the-art discriminative
methods in correctness and generates high-quality explanations.
Ethical Consideration
Although experiments on MentaLLaMA show promising performance on interpretable mental health analysis, we stress that
all predicted results and generated explanations should only used
for non-clinical research, and the help-seeker should get assistance
from professional psychiatrists or clinical practitioners. In addition,
recent studies have indicated LLMs may introduce some potential
bias, such as gender gaps. Meanwhile, some incorrect prediction results, inappropriate explanations, and over-generalization
also illustrate the potential risks of current LLMs. Therefore, there
are still many challenges in applying the model to real-scenario
mental health monitoring systems.
Other Models in MentaLLaMA
In addition to MentaLLaMA-chat-13B, the MentaLLaMA project includes another model: MentaLLaMA-chat-7B, MentalBART, MentalT5.
-
MentaLLaMA-chat-7B: This model is finetuned based on the Meta LLaMA2-chat-7B foundation model and the full IMHI instruction tuning data. The training data covers
10 mental health analysis tasks.
-
MentalBART: This model is finetuned based on the BART-large foundation model and the full IMHI-completion data. The training data covers
10 mental health analysis tasks. This model doesn't have instruction-following ability but is more lightweight and performs well in interpretable mental health analysis
in a completion-based manner.
-
MentalT5: This model is finetuned based on the T5-large foundation model and the full IMHI-completion data. The training data covers
10 mental health analysis tasks. This model doesn't have instruction-following ability but is more lightweight and performs well in interpretable mental health analysis
in a completion-based manner.
Usage
You can use the MentaLLaMA-chat-13B model in your Python project with the Hugging Face Transformers library. Here is a simple example of how to load the model:
1from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM
2tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained('klyang/MentaLLaMA-chat-13B')
3model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained('klyang/MentaLLaMA-chat-13B', device_map='auto')
In this example, LlamaTokenizer is used to load the tokenizer, and LlamaForCausalLM is used to load the model. The device_map='auto' argument is used to automatically
use the GPU if it's available.
