1. Models and Results

2. Overview

We propose to use a simple regularization method Masked thought Fine-Tuning (MFT) for the supervised fine-tuning of mathematical reasoning data.

3. Quick Start

1) Installation

conda create -n mask python=3.10
conda activate mask
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install torch==2.1.0 xformers torchvision==0.16.0 torchaudio==2.1.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
# install vllm
export VLLM_VERSION=0.2.2
export PYTHON_VERSION=310
pip install https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/releases/download/v${VLLM_VERSION}/vllm-${VLLM_VERSION}+cu118-cp${PYTHON_VERSION}-cp${PYTHON_VERSION}-manylinux1_x86_64.whl torch==2.1.0 transformers==4.36.2

2) Train

You can start with training GSM8K on Llama-2-7b with the following command, it will take about one hour with 8 NVIDIA A100 GPUs.

bash training_scripts/run_llama2_7b_gsm8k_mft.sh

3) Evaluation

The evaluation take 1 minute using vllm and 1 single A100 GPU.

# exp_name is the save path in your training script.
bash evaluation/run_gen_math_greedy_vllm_1.sh ${model_path}
python evaluation/get_gsm8k_res.py --model ${model_path}

For training and evaluation on other datasets and models, you can refer to ./training_scripts, ./MetaMath and ./MAmmoTH. You can also refer to the repos of MetaMath, MAmmoTH and RFT for more details about their evaluation and datasets.

4. Train with your own code

If you'd like incorporate MFT into your own code, just add the following codes before feeding input_ids to the model. MASK_INDEX can be the token_id of a new added token[mask] or the[pad] in the original tokenizer, depending on your preference.

def mask_target_tokens(input_ids, sources_tokenized, mask_probability, MASK_INDEX, tokenizer):
    masked_input_ids = copy.deepcopy(input_ids)
    for input_id, source_len in zip(masked_input_ids, sources_tokenized["input_ids_lens"]):
        for i in range(source_len, len(input_id)):
            if random.random() < mask_probability:
                input_id[i] = MASK_INDEX
    return masked_input_ids
input_ids = mask_target_tokens(input_ids, sources_tokenized, _mask_probability, MASK_INDEX)
