DLMA (Direct Large Language Model Alignment Through Self-Rewarding Contrastive Prompt Distillation)

![License][]![Python][]![PyTorch][]

DLMA is a novel approach for aligning large language models through self-rewarding contrastive prompt distillation. This repository contains the source code and instructions for setting up the environment, performing supervised instruct tuning, generating preference data, and training DLMA models.

Installation

To set up the environment, use the following command:

conda env create --file conda-recipe.yaml

Supervised Instruct Tuning

We recommend using the safe-rlhf library for performing supervised fine-tuning (SFT). You can also choose to use other libraries such as LLamaFactory.

1. Clone the safe-rlhf repository:

git clone git@github.com:PKU-Alignment/safe-rlhf.git
cd safe-rlhf

2. Train the SFT model:

bash scripts/sft.sh \
--model_name_or_path /root/models/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf \
--output_dir output/llama2-sft  

3. Split and resave the model:

cd ..   
python split_and_resave_model.py \   
--input_model_path safe-rlhf/output/llama2-sft \  
--output_model_path models/sft   

Preference Data Generation

Generate preference data using the following scripts:

prompt_type_pos="harmless_positive_prompt"
prompt_type_neg="harmless_negative_prompt"
model_output_path="models/sft"
data_path="PKU-Alignment/PKU-SafeRLHF"
gpu_number=8
batch_size=4

bash scripts/generate_data_scripts.sh \
$prompt_type_pos \
$prompt_type_neg \
$model_output_path \
$data_path \
$gpu_number \
$batch_size

Combine different parts:

python merge_files.py \
--data_name "$data_path" \
--model_name "$model_output_path" \
--batch_size "$batch_size" \
--prompt_type_pos "$prompt_type_pos" \
--prompt_type_neg "$prompt_type_neg" \
--split_number "$gpu_number" \
--output_dir "generated_data/llama2-pku-safety"

Training DLMA Models

1. Train the DLMA model:

bash scripts/run_dlma.sh \   
-model llama7b \   
-model_path models/sft \   
-datasets \[llama2-pku-safety\] \   
-exp_name dpo_llama2_weight_margin_02_40 \   
-margin_loss_weight 0.2 \   
-min_range -40 \   
-max_range 40    

2. Split and resave the model:

python split_and_resave_model.py \   
--base_model_path safe-rlhf/output/llama2-sft \   
--input_model_path /root/DLMA/.cache/root/dpo_llama2_weight_margin_02_40/LATEST/policy.pt \ 
--output_model_path models/dlma 

The trained DLMA model will be available in the models/dlma directory.
