【LLM系列之指令微调】长话短说大模型指令微调的“Prompt”

1 指令微调数据集形式"花样"太多

大家有没有分析过 prompt对模型训练或者推理的影响？之前推理的时候，发现不加训练的时候prompt，直接输入模型性能会变差的，这个倒是可以理解。假如不加prompt直接训练，是不是测试的时候不加prompt也可以？还有一个就是多轮prompt和单轮prompt怎么构造的问题？好多模型训练方式不统一包括指令数据形式有所不同，选择困难症又来了。。

先说一些观点，假如我们在微调一个大模型，单次实验微调所用的指令微调数据集应该选取"质量高、多样性",在训练资源充足的情况可以加入数量更多，长度更大的数据集。可以基于多个质量比较高的数据，做一份格式统一的多样性数据用来做sft，一次性微调完比较好，多次微调效果可能会折扣。或者有继续微调比较合适的方案也可以，不损失之前模型的效果（或者损失比较小），目前可以尝试Lora或者Qlora的方式微调底座模型，然后将训练好的Lora权重合并到原始模型，这样可以减轻多次微调对模型的影响。

2 常见指令微调模板

通过观测一些排行榜靠前和主流指令微调数据集，笔者总结一些常见的指令微调的Prompt：

常见的是stanford_alpaca中模板

text 复制代码

PROMPT_DICT = {
    "prompt_input": (
        "Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. "
        "Write a response that appropriately completes the request.\n\n"
        "### Instruction:\n{instruction}\n\n### Input:\n{input}\n\n### Response:"
    ),
    "prompt_no_input": (
        "Below is an instruction that describes a task. "
        "Write a response that appropriately completes the request.\n\n"
        "### Instruction:\n{instruction}\n\n### Response:"
    ),
}

Llama2中的模板

text 复制代码

instruction = """[INST] <<SYS>>\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe.  Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature.

            If a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something not correct. If you don't know the answer to a question, please don't share false information.\n<</SYS>>\n\n{} [/INST]"""

Linly-AI中模板

text 复制代码

### Instruction:{prompt.strip()}  ### Response:

OpenLLM 排行榜top1的NousResearch

和alpaca模板差不多

text 复制代码

### Instruction:
<prompt>

### Response:
<leave a newline blank for model to respond>

text 复制代码

### Instruction:
<prompt>

### Input:
<additional context>

### Response:
<leave a newline blank for model to respond>

Yayi模板

https://huggingface.co/wenge-research/yayi-7b-llama2

text 复制代码

prompt = "你是谁？"
formatted_prompt = f"""<|System|>:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant named YaYi developed by Beijing Wenge Technology Co.,Ltd. Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe. Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature.\n\nIf a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something not correct. If you don't know the answer to a question, please don't share false information.

<|Human|>:
{prompt}

<|YaYi|>:
"""

StableBeluga2的模板

text 复制代码

### System:
This is a system prompt, please behave and help the user.

### User:
Your prompt here

### Assistant:
The output of Stable Beluga 2

比如

text 复制代码

system_prompt = "### System:\nYou are Stable Beluga, an AI that follows instructions extremely well. Help as much as you can. Remember, be safe, and don't do anything illegal.\n\n"

message = "Write me a poem please"
prompt = f"{system_prompt}### User: {message}\n\n### Assistant:\n"

Guanaco数据集常用模板

text 复制代码

### Human: {prompt}
### Assistant:

text 复制代码

prompt = "Introduce yourself"
formatted_prompt = (
    f"A chat between a curious human and an artificial intelligence assistant."
    f"The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions.\n"
    f"### Human: {prompt} ### Assistant:"
)

3 多轮对话输入和输出构造

参考yangjianxin1/Firefly项目和LinkSoul-AI/Chinese-Llama-2-7b项目，一般采用的方式是：

在计算loss时，我们通过mask的方式，input部分的loss不参与参数更新，只有"target"部分的loss参与参数更新。这种方式充分利用了模型并行计算的优势，训练更加高效，且多轮对话中的每个target部分都参与了训练，训练更充分。否则，就需要把一个n轮对话，拆分成n条数据，且只计算最后一个target的loss，大大降低了训练效率。

具体实现方式1：

python 复制代码

# https://github.com/LinkSoul-AI/Chinese-Llama-2-7b/blob/main/train.py
def tokenize(item, tokenizer):
    roles = {"human": "user", "gpt": "assistant"}
    input_ids = []
    labels = []
    if "instruction" in item and len(item["instruction"]) > 0:
        system = item["instruction"]
    else:
        system = dummy_message["system"]
    system = B_SYS + system + E_SYS
    # add system before the first content in conversations
    item["conversations"][0]['value'] = system + item["conversations"][0]['value']
    for i, turn in enumerate(item["conversations"]):
        role = turn['from']
        content = turn['value']
        content = content.strip()
        if role == 'human':
            content = f"{B_INST} {content} {E_INST} "
            content_ids = tokenizer.encode(content)
            labels += [IGNORE_TOKEN_ID] * (len(content_ids))
        else:
            # assert role == "gpt"
            content = f"{content} "
            content_ids = tokenizer.encode(content, add_special_tokens=False) + [tokenizer.eos_token_id]   # add_special_tokens=False remove bos token, and add eos at the end
            labels += content_ids
        input_ids += content_ids

    input_ids = input_ids[:tokenizer.model_max_length]
    labels = labels[:tokenizer.model_max_length]

    trunc_id = last_index(labels, IGNORE_TOKEN_ID) + 1
    input_ids = input_ids[:trunc_id]
    labels = labels[:trunc_id]
    if len(labels) == 0:
        return tokenize(dummy_message, tokenizer)
    input_ids = safe_ids(input_ids, tokenizer.vocab_size, tokenizer.pad_token_id)
    labels = safe_ids(labels, tokenizer.vocab_size, IGNORE_TOKEN_ID)
    return input_ids, labels

具体实现方式1：

python 复制代码

# https://github.com/yangjianxin1/Firefly/blob/master/component/dataset.py
class SFTDataset(Dataset):
    def __init__(self, file, tokenizer, max_seq_length):
        self.tokenizer = tokenizer
        self.bos_token_id = tokenizer.bos_token_id
        self.eos_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
        self.eos_token = tokenizer.eos_token
        self.bos_token = tokenizer.bos_token
        self.max_seq_length = max_seq_length
        logger.info('Loading data: {}'.format(file))
        with open(file, 'r', encoding='utf8') as f:
            data_list = f.readlines()
        logger.info("there are {} data in dataset".format(len(data_list)))
        self.data_list = data_list

    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.data_list)

    def __getitem__(self, index):
        # 每条数据格式为: <s>input1</s>target1</s>input2</s>target2</s>...
        data = self.data_list[index]
        data = json.loads(data)
        conversation = data['conversation']

        # 收集多轮对话
        utterances = []
        for x in conversation:
            utterances.append(x['human'])
            utterances.append(x['assistant'])
        utterances_ids = self.tokenizer(utterances, add_special_tokens=False).input_ids

        # 模型的输入格式为：<s>input1</s>target1</s>input2</s>target2</s>...
        input_ids = [self.bos_token_id]
        target_mask = [0]  # 用于对input进行mask，只计算target部分的loss
        for i, utterances_id in enumerate(utterances_ids):
            input_ids += (utterances_id + [self.eos_token_id])
            if i % 2 == 0:
                target_mask += [0] * (len(utterances_id) + 1)
            else:
                target_mask += [1] * (len(utterances_id) + 1)
        assert len(input_ids) == len(target_mask)
        # 对长度进行截断
        input_ids = input_ids[:self.max_seq_length]
        target_mask = target_mask[:self.max_seq_length]
        attention_mask = [1] * len(input_ids)
        assert len(input_ids) == len(target_mask) == len(attention_mask)
        inputs = {
            'input_ids': input_ids,
            'attention_mask': attention_mask,
            'target_mask': target_mask
        }
        return inputs

核心代码就是通过IGNORE_INDEX(-100)遮蔽掉input对应的目标输出即可。

4 如何高效率微调大模型

如何短时间、高效率的训练出实际效果不错、综合能力比较强的大模型呢？从指令微调数据集处理工作上，个人认为可以从以下方式进行：

（1）事先准备多种高质量的指令微调数据集，每个数据集尽量保持差异性。那高质量如何定义呢？我们可以从一些效果不错的模型收集它们训练使用的指令数据集

（2）笔者在实验过程中，发现加入多伦对话的数据有助于提升模型生成能力，如果仅用单轮对话或者单轮指令训练出的模型生成长度可能偏短。

（3）另外通过实验发现，如果模型微调的时候使用模板，那么推理的时候应该也使用模板，否则效果会影响，直观上就是生成效果不理想，生成比较短，甚至"驴唇不对马嘴"；训练使用了英文模板，推理的时候未使用提示模板的情况下会出现中英文混杂现象。
