Overview of PEFT: State-of-the-art Parameter-Environment friendly Effective-Tuning

Picture by Writer

As giant language fashions (LLMs) reminiscent of GPT-3.5, LLaMA2, and PaLM2 develop ever bigger in scale, fine-tuning them on downstream pure language processing (NLP) duties turns into more and more computationally costly and reminiscence intensive. 

Parameter-Environment friendly Effective-Tuning (PEFT) strategies tackle these points by solely fine-tuning a small variety of further parameters whereas freezing many of the pretrained mannequin. This prevents catastrophic forgetting in giant fashions and permits fine-tuning with restricted compute. 

PEFT has confirmed efficient for duties like picture classification and textual content era whereas utilizing only a fraction of the parameters. The small tuned weights can merely be added to the unique pretrained weights. 

You possibly can even fantastic tune LLMs on the free model of Google Colab utilizing 4-bit quantization and PEFT strategies QLoRA.   

The modular nature of PEFT additionally permits the identical pretrained mannequin to be tailored for a number of duties by including small task-specific weights, avoiding the necessity to retailer full copies. 

The PEFT library integrates standard PEFT strategies like LoRA, Prefix Tuning, AdaLoRA, Immediate Tuning, MultiTask Immediate Tuning, and LoHa with Transformers and Speed up. This offers easy accessibility to cutting-edge giant language fashions with environment friendly and scalable fine-tuning.                                                                                                   

On this tutorial, we might be utilizing the preferred parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method referred to as LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation of Giant Language Fashions). LoRA is a way that considerably quickens the fine-tuning course of of enormous language fashions whereas consuming much less reminiscence.

The important thing thought behind LoRA is to characterize weight updates utilizing two smaller matrices achieved by way of low-rank decomposition. These matrices might be skilled to adapt to new knowledge whereas minimizing the general variety of modifications. The unique weight matrix stays unchanged and does not endure any additional changes. The ultimate outcomes are obtained by combining each the unique and the tailored weights.

There are a number of benefits to utilizing LoRA. Firstly, it tremendously enhances the effectivity of fine-tuning by decreasing the variety of trainable parameters. Moreover, LoRA is appropriate with numerous different parameter-efficient strategies and might be mixed with them. Fashions fine-tuned utilizing LoRA exhibit efficiency comparable to completely fine-tuned fashions.  Importantly, LoRA does not introduce any extra inference latency since adapter weights might be seamlessly merged with the bottom mannequin.

There are lots of use instances of PEFT, from language fashions to Picture classifiers. You possibly can verify the entire use case tutorials on official documentation.

On this part, we are going to learn to load and wrap our transformer mannequin utilizing the `bitsandbytes` and `peft` library. We can even cowl loading the saved fine-tuned QLoRA mannequin and working inferences with it.

Getting Began

First, we are going to set up all the required libraries. 

%%seize
%pip set up speed up peft transformers datasets bitsandbytes

Then, we are going to import the important modules and title the bottom mannequin (Llama-2-7b-chat-hf) to fine-tune it utilizing the mlabonne/guanaco-llama2-1k dataset. 

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, BitsAndBytesConfig
from peft import get_peft_model, LoraConfig
import torch


model_name = "NousResearch/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf"
dataset_name = "mlabonne/guanaco-llama2-1k"

PEFT Configuration

Create PEFT configuration that we are going to use to wrap or practice our mannequin. 

peft_config = LoraConfig(
    lora_alpha=16,
    lora_dropout=0.1,
    r=64,
    bias="none",
    task_type="CAUSAL_LM",
)

4 bit Quantization

Loading LLMs on shopper or Colab GPUs poses vital challenges. Nevertheless, we will overcome this subject by implementing a 4-bit quantization method with an NF4 sort configuration utilizing BitsAndBytes. By using this method, we will successfully load our mannequin, thereby conserving reminiscence and stopping machine crashes.

compute_dtype = getattr(torch, "float16")

bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=compute_dtype,
    bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=False,
)

Wrapping Base Transformers Mannequin

To make our mannequin parameter environment friendly, we are going to wrap the bottom transformer mannequin utilizing `get_peft_model`. 

mannequin = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    quantization_config=bnb_config,
    device_map="auto"
)
mannequin = get_peft_model(mannequin, peft_config)
mannequin.print_trainable_parameters()

Our trainable parameters are fewer than these of the bottom mannequin, permitting us to make use of much less reminiscence and fine-tune the mannequin quicker.

trainable params: 33,554,432 || all params: 6,771,970,048 || trainable%: 0.49548996469513035

The following step is to coach the mannequin. You are able to do that by following the 4-bit quantization and QLoRA information. 

Saving the Mannequin

After coaching, you possibly can both save the mannequin adopter regionally.

mannequin.save_pretrained("llama-2-7b-chat-guanaco")

Or, push it to the Hugging Face Hub. 

!huggingface-cli login --token $secret_value_0

mannequin.push_to_hub("llama-2-7b-chat-guanaco")

As we will see, the mannequin adopter is simply 134MB whereas the bottom LLaMA 2 7B mannequin is round 13GB. 

Loading the Mannequin

To run the mannequin Inference, we now have to first load the mannequin utilizing 4-bit precision quantization after which merge skilled PEFT weights with the bottom (LlaMA 2) mannequin. 

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
from peft import PeftModel, PeftConfig
import torch

peft_model = "kingabzpro/llama-2-7b-chat-guanaco"
base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    quantization_config=bnb_config,
    device_map="auto"
)

mannequin = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, peft_model)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

mannequin = mannequin.to("cuda")
mannequin.eval()

Inference

For working the inference we now have to jot down the immediate in guanaco-llama2-1k dataset model(“<s>[INST] {immediate} [/INST]”). In any other case you’ll get responses in several languages. 

immediate = "What's Hacktoberfest?"
inputs = tokenizer(f"<s>[INST] {immediate} [/INST]", return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = mannequin.generate(
        input_ids=inputs["input_ids"].to("cuda"), max_new_tokens=100
    )
    print(
        tokenizer.batch_decode(
            outputs.detach().cpu().numpy(), skip_special_tokens=True
        )[0]
    )

The output appears good. 

[INST] What's Hacktoberfest? [/INST] Hacktoberfest is an open-source software program improvement occasion that takes place in October. It was created by the non-profit group Open Supply Software program Institute (OSSI) in 2017. The occasion goals to encourage individuals to contribute to open-source tasks, with the objective of accelerating the variety of contributors and bettering the standard of open-source software program.

Throughout Hacktoberfest, individuals are inspired to contribute to open-source

Observe: In case you are dealing with difficulties whereas loading the mannequin in Colab, you possibly can take a look at my pocket book: Overview of PEFT.

Parameter-Environment friendly Effective-Tuning strategies like LoRA allow environment friendly fine-tuning of enormous language fashions utilizing solely a fraction of parameters. This avoids costly full fine-tuning and permits coaching with restricted compute assets. The modular nature of PEFT permits adapting fashions for a number of duties. Quantization strategies like 4-bit precision can additional scale back reminiscence utilization. Total, PEFT opens up giant language mannequin capabilities to a a lot wider viewers.
