This is an overview of the `KnowLM`, which mainly consists of three technical features:

**Knowledge Prompting**: It generates knowledge prompts based on structured data such as knowledge graphs and utilizes knowledge augmentation constraints to address *knowledge extraction and reasoning* issues.

**Knowledge Editing**: It aligns outdated, incorrect, and biased knowledge within large models using knowledge editing techniques to tackle *knowledge fallacy* problems (**[English Tutorial](./pdf/Knowledge_Editing.pdf)**).

**Knowledge Interaction**: It enables dynamic knowledge interaction and feedback to achieve tool-based learning and multi-agent collaboration, resolving the problem of *embodiment cognition* in LLMs (**[English Tutorial](./pdf/Knowledge_Interaction.pdf)**).

The modules related to these three technologies are [EasyInstruct](https://github.com/zjunlp/easyinstruct), [EasyDetect](https://github.com/zjunlp/EasyDetect), [EasyEdit](https://github.com/zjunlp/EasyEdit). We provide use cases for those modules based on the `KnowLM`framework.

<h2 id="1">🚴1. Quick Start</h2>

<h3 id="1-1">🛠️1.1 Environment Configuration</h3>

*KnowLM* supports both **manual** and **docker image** environment configuration, you can choose the appropriate way to build.
#### 🔧Manual Environment Configuration
```shell
git clone https://github.com/zjunlp/KnowLM.git
cd KnowLM
conda create -n knowlm python=3.9 -y
conda activate knowlm
pip install torch==1.13.1+cu116 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
#### 🐳Building With Docker Images
```shell
docker pull zjunlp/knowlm:v.1
docker run -it zjunlp/knowlm:v.1 /bin/bash
```
<h3 id="1-2">💻1.2 Model Usage Guide</h3>

**1. Reproduce the results in Section 2**

> The cases in **[Section 2](#2-cases)** were all run on V100. If running on other devices, the results may vary. Please run multiple times or change the decoding parameters. **We derived `knowlm-13b-zhixi` and `knowlm-13b-ie` through training using LoRA, building upon the foundation of `knowlm-13b-base`. These models, `knowlm-13b-zhixi` and `knowlm-13b-ie`, are the result of merging the trained LoRA weights with the existing `knowlm-13b-base` model parameters.**

1. If you want to reproduce the results in `section 2.1`(**[pretraining cases](#21-pretraining-cases)**), please run the following command:

   ```shell
   python examples/generate_finetune.py --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-base-v1.0
   ```

   The result in section `2.1` can be obtained.

2. If you want to reproduce the results in `section 2.2`(**[information extraction cases](#22-information-extraction-cases)**), please run the following command:

   ```shell
   python examples/generate_lora.py --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-zhixi --run_ie_cases
   ```

   The result in section `2.2` can be obtained.

3. If you want to reproduce the results in `section 2.3`(**[general abilities cases](#23-general-abilities-cases)**), please run the following command:

   ```shell
   python examples/generate_lora.py --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-zhixi --run_general_cases
   ```

   The result in section `2.3` can be obtained.


**2. Usage of Pretraining Model**

We offer two methods: the first one is **command-line interaction**, and the second one is **web-based interaction**, which provides greater flexibility.

1. Use the following command to enter **command-line interaction**:

   ```shell
   python examples/generate_finetune.py --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-base-v1.0 --interactive
   ```

   The disadvantage is the inability to dynamically change decoding parameters.

   If a single GPU is unable to load the model, you can utilize the following command to enable the model to be loaded across different GPU:

   ```shell
   CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2 python examples/generate_finetune.py  --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-base-v1.0 --interactive --multi_gpu     # --allocate [10,10,10]
   ```

   > The `--allocate` above specifies the amount of memory used by each GPU, measured in `GB`.

3. Use the following command to enter **web-based interaction**:

   ```shell
   python examples/generate_finetune_web.py --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-base-v1.0
   ```

   If a single GPU is unable to load the model, you can utilize the following command to enable the model to be loaded across different GPU:

   ```shell
   CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2 python examples/generate_finetune_web.py --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-base-v1.0 --multi_gpu     # --allocate [10,10,10]
   ```
   
   Here is a screenshot of the web-based interaction:
   <p align="center" width="100%">
   <a href="" target="_blank"><img src="./assets/finetune_web.jpg" alt="finetune-web" style="width: 100%; min-width: 100px; display: block; margin: auto;"></a>
   </p>

**3. Usage of Instruction tuning Model**

Here, we provide a web-based interaction method. Use the following command to access the web:

```shell
python examples/generate_lora_web.py --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-zhixi
```

If a single GPU is unable to load the model, you can utilize the following command to enable the model to be loaded across different GPU:

```shell
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2 python examples/generate_lora_web.py --base_model zjunlp/knowlm-13b-zhixi --multi_gpu     # --allocate [10,10,10]
```

Here is a screenshot of the web-based interaction:
<p align="center" width="100%">
<a href="" target="_blank"><img src="./assets/lora_web.png" alt="finetune-web" style="width: 100%; min-width: 100px; display: block; margin: auto;"></a>
</p>

The `instruction` is a required parameter, while `input` is an optional parameter. For general tasks (such as the examples provided in section `1.3`), you can directly enter the input in the `instruction` field. For information extraction tasks (as shown in the example in section `1.2`), please enter the instruction in the `instruction` field and the sentence to be extracted in the `input` field. We provide an information extraction prompt in section `2.5`. 

If you want to perform batch testing, please modify the `examples/generate_lora.py` file and update the examples and hyperparameters in the variable `cases`.

According to different task requirements, we have the following suggestions for adjusting decoding strategies and their associated hyperparameters:

1. If you want more diverse and creative outputs, consider using top-k or top-p (nucleus) sampling with a relatively higher `top_k` or `top_p`, and possibly a higher `temperature`.
2. If you want more focused and high-quality outputs (e.g., information extraction), consider using beam search with a moderate `num_beam`, or top-k or top-p sampling with a lower `top_k` or `top_p`, and a lower `temperature`.
3. Remember to experiment and fine-tune. Depending on your use case, it may be beneficial to iterate and experiment with different strategies and hyperparameters to find the optimal combination.

**4. vLLM API server**

We integrate [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) for accelerating LLM inference and providing efficient API service. Use the following command to launch vLLM API server at `http://localhost:8090`.

```shell
max_num_batched_tokens=8000

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1,2 python inference/launch_vllm.py \
    --port 8090 \
    --model data/zhixi-13B \
    --use-np-weights \
    --max-num-batched-tokens $max_num_batched_tokens \
    --dtype half \
    --tensor-parallel-size 2
```

Query the service using POST request:

```shell
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8090/generate" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"instruction": "你好", "input": "", "parameters": {"top_p": 0.7, "max_tokens": 256}}'
```

You could get the following response:

```shell
{
  "generated_text":"你好，很高兴见到你。我是一个人工智能助手，可以帮助你解决问题和提供信息。有什么我可以帮助你的吗？</s>",
  "num_output_tokens_cf":65,
  "error":null
}
```

<h3 id="1-3">🎯1.3 Information Extraction Prompt</h3>

For information extraction tasks such as named entity recognition (NER), event extraction (EE), and relation extraction (RE), we provide some prompts for ease of use. You can refer to this [link](./examples/ie_prompt.py) for examples. Of course, you can also try using your own prompts.

Here is a [case](https://github.com/zjunlp/DeepKE/blob/main/example/llm/InstructKGC/README.md) where `knowlm-13b-zhixi` is used to accomplish the instruction-based knowledge graph construction task in CCKS2023.

<h3 id="1-4">🐐1.4 LlaMA.cpp</h3>

If you find yourself lacking sufficient GPU computing resources, you have the option to carry out quantization using [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). This is possible because llama.cpp shares the same architecture as KnowLM. Once you have set up your environment, you can download our model to a designated path using the following command:
```bash
python tools/download.py --specify --download_path ./your/path --repo_name zjunlp/knowlm-13b-zhixi
```
Next, just substitute the model path at this [location](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp#prepare-data--run) with the downloaded one. When executing it in practice, please remember to adjust the model path within this [script](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/alpaca.sh) accordingly.

<h3 id="1-5">📌1.5 Instruction Processing</h3>

Instruction tuning has emerged as a crucial technique to enhance the capabilities of LLMs, which bridges the gap between the next-word prediction objective of LLMs and human preference.
To construct a high-quality instruction dataset, many instruction processing approaches have been proposed, aiming to achieve a delicate balance between data quantity and data quality.

In instruction processing, we utilized EasyInstruct as our processing framework (detailed can be found at https://github.com/zjunlp/EasyInstruct). EasyInstruct modularizes instruction generation, selection, and prompting, while also considering their combination and interaction. The code below shows a running example of instruction generation and selection in EasyInstruct:

```python
from easyinstruct import SelfInstructGenerator, GPTScoreSelector
from easyinstruct.utils.api import set_openai_key

# Step1: Set your own API-KEY
set_openai_key("YOUR-KEY")

# Step2: Declare a generator class
generator = SelfInstructGenerator(num_instructions_to_generate=100)

# Step3: Generate self-instruct data
generator.generate()

# Step4: Declare a selector class
selector = GPTScoreSelector()

# Step5: Process the generated instructions
selector.process()
```

<h3 id="1-6">🖊️1.6 Model Editing</h3>

Although large language models perform exceptionally well in many tasks, they can still provide incorrect answers. Moreover, as time passes, knowledge that was once accurate may become outdated. This necessitates that we adjust the model's responses to meet our expectations through model editing.

In model editing, we utilized EasyEdit as our editing tool (details can be found at https://github.com/zjunlp/EasyEdit). EasyEdit is a highly integrated model editing tool. All you need to do is define your editor in just three lines of code, similar to how you would in hugging face.

```python
from easyeditor import MENDHyperParams
hparams = MENDHyperParams.from_hparams('./hparams/MEND/gpt2-xl')
editor = BaseEditor.from_hparams(hparams)
```
The code above demonstrates the editor definition for editing the gpt2-xl model using the MEND method. The next step is to prepare the editing data and the test data.

```python
metrics, edited_model, _ = editor.edit(
    prompts=prompts,
    ground_truth=ground_truth,
    target_new=target_new,
    locality_inputs=locality_inputs,
    keep_original_weight=True
)
```
With the provided code, you can complete the editing of the model. The edited model is stored in "edit_model," and the corresponding evaluation metrics are saved in "metrics."

<h2 id="2">🌰2. Cases</h2>

<h3 id="2-1">🌰2.1 Pretraining Cases</h3>

Our pre-trained model has demonstrated certain abilities in instruction following, coding, reasoning, as well as some translation capabilities, without any fine-tuning using instructions. Additionally, it has acquired new knowledge. Below are some of our sample cases. If you wish to reproduce our examples and view detailed decoding configuration, please first [set up the environment](#1-1), then follow the steps outlined [here](#1-2).

> In the following cases, text in **bold** represents the prompt, while non-bold text represents the model's output.
>
> Due to the maximum inference length set to 512, our cases fall into three situations:
>
> 1. Completed output. The model generates the termination token EOS and completes the output. We mark this with :white_check_mark:.
> 2. Incomplete output. The output is cut off due to the maximum inference length. We mark this with :eight_spoked_asterisk:.
> 3. Repeated output. We remove repeated content manually and mark it with :arrow_left:.

  \# THE MAGIC UNICORN CORPORATION

  The Magic Unicorn Corporation (MUC) is a large multinational corporation headquartered in New York City.  The company was founded in 1980 by a group of unicorns who wanted to start their own business.  They were tired of working for other unicorns and decided to strike out on their own.  Their first product was a line of unicorn-themed greeting cards.  The cards were a huge success, and the company grew rapidly.  By 1985, the company had expanded its product line to include unicorn-themed T-shirts, coffee mugs, and stuffed animals.  In 1987, the company went public.  Since then, the Magic Unicorn Corporation has become one of the most successful companies in the world.<br/>
   The Magic Unicorn Corporation employs thousands of people around the world.  Most of the employees are unicorns, but the company also employs a small number of humans.  Humans are hired to do jobs that unicorns cannot or will not do.  For example, humans are hired to clean up after unicorns.  Humans are also hired to feed the unicorns:eight_spoked_asterisk:

![](./assets/main_new.jpg)

<h3 id="3-1">🧾3.1 Dataset Construction (Pretraining)</h3>

In order to enhance the model's understanding of Chinese while preserving its original code and English language capabilities, we did not expand the vocabulary. Instead, we collected Chinese corpora, English corpora, and code corpora. The Chinese corpora were sourced from Baidu Baike, Wudao, and Chinese Wikipedia. The English dataset was sampled from the original English corpus of [LLaMA](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.13971.pdf), with the exception of the Wikipedia data. The original paper's English Wikipedia data was up until August 2022, and **we additionally crawled data from September 2022 to February 2023, covering a total of six months.** As for the code dataset, due to the low-quality code in the `Pile` dataset, we crawled code data from GitHub and LeetCode. A portion of the data was used for pre-training, while another portion was used for fine-tuning with instructions.

For the crawled datasets mentioned above, we employed a heuristic approach to filter out harmful content. Additionally, we removed duplicate data.

<h3 id="3-2">⏳3.2 Training Process (Pretraining)</h3>

Detailed data processing code, training code, complete training scripts, and detailed training results can be found in [./pretrain](./pretrain).

Before training, we need to tokenize the data. We set the maximum length of a single sample to `1024`, while most documents are much longer than this. Therefore, we need to partition these documents. **We designed a greedy algorithm to split the documents, with the goal of ensuring that each sample consists of complete sentences and minimizing the number of segments while maximizing the length of each sample.** Additionally, due to the diversity of data sources, we developed a comprehensive data preprocessing tool that can process and merge data from various sources. Finally, considering the large amount of data, loading it directly into memory would impose excessive hardware pressure. Therefore, we referred to [DeepSpeed-Megatron](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/Megatron-DeepSpeed/tree/main/tools) and used the `mmap` method to process and load the data. This involves loading the indices into memory and accessing the corresponding data on disk when needed.

Finally, we performed pre-training on 5.5 million Chinese samples, 1.5 million English samples, and 0.9 million code samples. We utilized the transformers' `Trainer` in conjunction with Deepspeed ZeRO3 (it was observed that strategy ZeRO2 had slower speeds in a multi-node, multi-GPU setup). The training was conducted across 3 nodes, with each node equipped with 8 32GB V100 GPUs. The table below showcases our training speeds:

| Parameter                                         | Values         |
| ------------------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| micro batch size                                  | 20             |
| gradient accumulation                             | 3              |
| global batch size                                 | 20\*3\*24=1440 |
| Time-consuming of a step                          | 260s           |



<h3 id="3-3">🧾3.3 Dataset Construction (Instruction tuning)</h3>

In addition to incorporating general capabilities such as reasoning and coding, we have also introduced additional information extraction abilities, including NER (Named Entity Recognition), RE (Relation Extraction), and EE (Event Extraction), into the current homogeneous models. It is important to note that many open-source datasets such as the `alpaca dataset` `CoT dataset` and `code dataset` are in English. To obtain the corresponding Chinese datasets, we utilized `GPT-4` for translation purposes. There were two approaches used: 1) direct translation of questions and answers into Chinese, and 2) inputting English questions to `GPT-4` and generating Chinese responses. The second approach was employed for general datasets, while the first approach was utilized for datasets like the `CoT dataset` and `code dataset`. These datasets are readily available online.


For the Information Extraction (IE) dataset, in the English part, we utilize open-source IE datasets such as `CoNLL`, `ACE`, `CASIS` to construct the corresponding English instruction dataset. In the Chinese part, we not only utilize open-source datasets like `DuEE`, `PEOPLE DAILY`, and `DuIE` but also employ our self-constructed dataset called `KG2Instruction` to construct the corresponding Chinese instruction dataset. Specifically, KG2Instruction ([InstructIE](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.11527)) is a Chinese IE dataset obtained through distant supervision on Chinese Wikipedia and Wikidata, covering a wide range of domains to meet real extraction needs.


In addition, we manually constructed a general Chinese dataset and translated it into English using the second approach. Finally, our data distribution is as follows:

| Dataset           | Number |
| -------------------- | ---- |
| COT Datasets (Chinese, English)        |   202,333   |
| General Datasets (Chinese, English) |   105,216   |
| Code Datasets (Chinese, English) |   44,688   |
| Information Extraction Datasets (English)   |   537,429   |
| Information Extraction Datasets (Chinese)   |   486,768   |

<h3 id="3-4">⏳3.4 Training Process (Instruction tuning)</h3>

Currently, most instruction tuning scripts using LoRA are based on [alpaca-lora](https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/), so we will not go into detail here. Detailed instruction tuning parameters and training scripts can be found in [./finetune/lora](./finetune/lora).

 
<h2 id="4">🔴4. Limitations</h2>

Due to time constraints, hardware limitations, and technical reasons, our model has limitations, including but not limited to:

- Our instruction tuning process does not involve full tuning. Instead, we use the LoRA approach for instruction tuning.
- Our model does not currently support multi-turn conversations.
- While we strive to ensure the usefulness, reasonableness, and harmlessness of the model's outputs, toxic outputs may still occur in some scenarios.

- The pretraining is not exhaustive. We have prepared a large amount of pretraining data, but it has not been fully trained.

- ······

  

<h2 id="5">🕐5. TODO List</h2>

- Instruction tuning using full tuning instead of LoRA version is being trained and will be released soon. 
- New instruction tuning weights using LoRA will be updated shortly.
- New models (Llama-7b, Falcon-7b) are being trained (We have limited GPUs!).
- New abilities such as molecule and protein generation with [Mol-Instructions](https://github.com/zjunlp/Mol-Instructions), a large-scale biomolecules instruction dataset for large language models.

<h2 id="6">❓6. FAQ</h2>

- Question: What should I do if the model encounters � during decoding?

  Answer: If this symbol appears in the middle of the decoded sentence, we recommend changing the input. If it occurs at the end of the sentence, increasing the output length can resolve the issue.

- Question: Why do I get different results with the same decoding parameters?

  Answer: It is possible that you have enabled `do_sample=True`. It could also be due to the order of execution. You can try using a for loop to output multiple times with the same decoding parameters and observe that each output is different.
  
- Question: Why is the extraction or answer quality not good?

  Answer: Please try changing the decoding parameters. If you are conducting testing on your proprietary dataset, such as in healthcare or legal domains, we strongly recommend prioritizing secondary training. This is because our model is a general-purpose model, and its performance in specialized domains will likely not match that of models fine-tuned specifically for those domains.

- Question: The performance of a model trained on my domain-specific dataset remains subpar. What steps should I take?

  Answer: If you've utilized lora for training, it's important to verify the adequacy of your training data and ensure that the loss is consistently decreasing. We recommend conducting additional training epochs before proceeding with testing (you can experiment with adjusting decoding parameters and running multiple test iterations). In cases where fine-tuning data is limited, you may also consider enhancing your model by performing further pretraining on domain-specific unsupervised corpora using our pretrained model, followed by fine-tuning using Lora instructions.

- Question: What can be done to address slow inference speed?

  Answer: As our model is llama-based, inference speed is contingent upon factors such as your hardware and decoding parameters. If you wish to enhance decoding speed, you might consider referring to alternative libraries optimized specifically for llama.

- Question: What should I do if I encounter an error while running the code?

  Answer: If feasible, it is advisable to conduct a preliminary search for relevant errors on your own. If the problem persists, kindly consider submitting an issue report.

## Why it's called ZhiXi (智析)?
In Chinese, "Zhi" (智) signifies intelligence, referencing the AI's advanced language understanding capabilities. "Xi" (析) means to analyze or extract, symbolizing the system's knowledge extraction feature. Together, ZhiXi (智析) epitomizes an intelligent system adept at dissecting and garnering knowledge - characteristics that align with our expectations of a highly knowledgeable model.
