Kurage

Kurage is a multipurpose RAG model from Lightblue based on the Qwen 2 model (Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct).

This version of the model has been trained to perform RAG in Vietnamese.

Features of these models include:

Multi-chunk RAG - Performs RAG using multiple contexts at once.
Single-chunk RAG - Performs RAG using one context at a time, allowing for parallel computing.
Answer extension - Prompts the model to write a longer answer to a given question.
Multilingual RAG - Performs RAG using contexts in languages different to the language of the question.
Q&A generation - Generates questions and answers from a reference text in order to pre-index a set of texts.

Find out how to use these features below.

For models in other languages check our Kurage collection.

This model was trained using a ml.gu7ef.8xlarge-gu100 instance on Platform For AI from Alibaba Cloud.

Note - There is a known issue with the single-chunk RAG mode sometimes saying that it cannot answer a question based on the text when it actually can. This was because our single-chunk training data was 50:50 answers vs cannot answer scenarios, making the model overly conservative. We will address this in a week or two when we re-train using 90:10 data with the coming release of Qwen 2.5.

Basic usage

To use the model for basic multi-chunk RAG, you can use the following code:

NOTE - Change the model name to that of this repository to use this model with Vietnamese questions (e.g. "lightblue/kurage-en" → "lightblue/kurage-vi").

Feature: Multi-chunk RAG

This model can take multiple contexts and a question as input, and it will first output the references of the relevant contexts before outputting an answer to the question.

Feature: Single-chunk RAG

This model can also take a single context and a question as input, and it will determine whether it can answer the question based on the context, outputting an answer if it can. This allows for parallel computing of multiple contexts at the same time.

Feature: Multilinguality

We have trained our model to be able to answer questions in Vietnamese based on texts in other languages too!

(Note - this is still giving variable results depending on the question and the language of the correct reference. Stay tuned for further improvements in the future.)

Training data

We trained on chunks sourced from the documents in MADLAD-400 dataset that had been evaluated to contain a higher amount of educational information according to a state-of-the-art LLM.

We took chunks of size 250 tokens, 500 tokens, and 1000 tokens randomly for each document.

We then used these chunks to generate questions and answers based on this text using a state-of-the-art LLM.

Finally, we selected negatives for each chunk using the similarity from the dense embeddings of the BAAI/bge-m3 model.

The training data for this model can be found at lightblue/kurage_training_data.
