Bonito

Bonito is an open-source model for conditional task generation: the task of converting unannotated text into task-specific training datasets for instruction tuning. This repo is a lightweight library for Bonito to easily create synthetic datasets built on top of the Hugging Face transformers and vllm libraries.

• Paper: Learning to Generate Instruction Tuning Datasets for Zero-Shot Task Adaptation
• Model: bonito-v1
• Demo: Bonito on Spaces
• Dataset: ctga-v1
• Code: To reproduce experiments in our paper, see nayak-aclfindings24-code.

News

• 🐡 August 2024: Released new Bonito model with Meta Llama 3.1 as the base model.
• 🐟 June 2024: Bonito is accepted to ACL Findings 2024.

Installation

Create an environment and install the package using the following commands:

conda create -n bonito python=3.9
conda activate bonito
pip install -e .

Basic Usage

To generate synthetic instruction tuning dataset using Bonito, you can use the following code:

from bonito import Bonito
from vllm import SamplingParams
from datasets import load_dataset

# Initialize the Bonito model
bonito = Bonito("BatsResearch/bonito-v1")

# load dataset with unannotated text
unannotated_text = load_dataset(
    "BatsResearch/bonito-experiment",
    "unannotated_contract_nli"
)["train"].select(range(10))

# Generate synthetic instruction tuning dataset
sampling_params = SamplingParams(max_tokens=256, top_p=0.95, temperature=0.5, n=1)
synthetic_dataset = bonito.generate_tasks(
    unannotated_text,
    context_col="input",
    task_type="nli",
    sampling_params=sampling_params
)

Supported Task Types

Here we include the supported task types [full name (short form)]: extractive question answering (exqa), multiple-choice question answering (mcqa), question generation (qg), question answering without choices (qa), yes-no question answering (ynqa), coreference resolution (coref), paraphrase generation (paraphrase), paraphrase identification (paraphrase_id), sentence completion (sent_comp), sentiment (sentiment), summarization (summarization), text generation (text_gen), topic classification (topic_class), word sense disambiguation (wsd), textual entailment (te), natural language inference (nli)

You can use either the full name or the short form to specify the task_type in generate_tasks.

Tutorial

We have created a tutorial here for how to use a quantized version of the model in a Google Colab T4 instance. The quantized version was graciously contributed by user alexandreteles. We have an additional tutorial to try out the Bonito model on A100 GPU on Google Colab here.
