This model is a LoRA fine-tuned version of tiiuae/falcon-rw-1b using the IMDb movie review dataset. It's trained to generate sentiment-rich movie review completions from short prompts. LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) enables efficient fine-tuning with fewer resources.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

from transformers import pipeline, AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM from peft import PeftModel, PeftConfig

LoRA adapter model ID on Hugging Face Hub

adapter_id = "vishal1d/falcon-lora-imdb"

Load the adapter configuration

peft_config = PeftConfig.from_pretrained(adapter_id)

Load the base Falcon model

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( peft_config.base_model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto" )

Load the LoRA adapter on top of the base model

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, adapter_id) model.eval()

Load the tokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(peft_config.base_model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=True) tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token

Create a text generation pipeline

generator = pipeline( "text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, temperature=0.8, top_k=50, top_p=0.95 )

Example prompt

prompt = "The movie was absolutely wonderful because" output = generator(prompt)

Display the generated text

print(output[0]["generated_text"])

Training Details

LoRA Config:
- r=8
- lora_alpha=16
- lora_dropout=0.1
- target_modules=["query_key_value"]
Batch Size: 2 (with gradient_accumulation=4)
Epochs: 1 (demo purpose)
Precision: FP16
Training Samples: 1000 IMDb reviews

Training Data

The model was fine-tuned on the IMDb dataset, a large-scale dataset containing 50,000 movie reviews labeled as positive or negative.

For demonstration and quick experimentation, only 1000 samples from the IMDb train split were used.

Dataset Card: IMDb on Hugging Face

Format: Text classification (binary sentiment)

Preprocessing:

Tokenized using tiiuae/falcon-rw-1b tokenizer

Max input length: 128 tokens

Labels were set as input_ids for causal language modeling

Training Procedure

Preprocessing Tokenized each review using Falcon's tokenizer

Truncated/padded to max length of 128

Used causal language modeling: labels = input_ids (predict next token)

Training Hyperparameters Model: tiiuae/falcon-rw-1b

Fine-tuning method: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) via PEFT

LoRA Config:

Frameworks: 🤗 Transformers, PEFT, Datasets, Trainer

Speeds, Sizes, Times GPU used: Google Colab (Tesla T4, 16GB)

Checkpoint size (adapter only): ~6.3 MB (adapter_model.safetensors)

Testing Data, Factors & Metrics

Testing Data

Evaluation was done interactively using text prompts. No quantitative metrics were used since the model was trained for demo-scale.

Factors

Prompt completion

Sentiment alignment

Fluency of generated text

Metrics

Evaluation was qualitative, based on prompt completions. Since this model was trained on only 1000 IMDb samples for demonstration, we evaluated it by:

Text Coherence: Does the output form grammatically valid sentences?

Sentiment Appropriateness: Does the generated output reflect the sentiment implied by the prompt?

Relevance: Is the continuation logically connected to the prompt?

No quantitative metrics (like accuracy, BLEU, ROUGE) were computed due to the generative nature of the task.

Results

The model successfully generated fluent, sentiment-aware text completions for short prompts like:

Prompt: "The movie was absolutely wonderful because" Output: "...it had brilliant performances, touching moments, and a truly powerful story that left the audience in awe."

These results show that the model can be useful for sentiment-rich text generation, even with limited training data.

Summary

Even with only 1000 IMDb samples, the model can produce sentiment-aligned completions.

LoRA fine-tuning was efficient and lightweight.

Best used for experimentation or small-scale inference.

Technical Specifications [optional]

Model architecture: Falcon-RW-1B (decoder-only transformer)

Fine-tuning: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)

Precision: Mixed precision (fp16)

Tokenizer: tiiuae/falcon-rw-1b tokenizer

Frameworks Used: Hugging Face Transformers, Datasets, PEFT

Model Architecture and Objective

This model uses the tiiuae/falcon-rw-1b architecture, which is a decoder-only transformer similar to GPT. The objective is causal language modeling, where the model predicts the next token given all previous tokens.

During fine-tuning, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) was used to efficiently adjust a small number of weights (via low-rank updates) while keeping the base model frozen.
