Excellent Videos. Very insightful. Kudos. I have couple of questions. Can you please help clarify ? 1. My understanding is that though the memory usage will be lower, the QLoRA training can take longer for a single epoch because of quantization and de-quantization during forward and backward passes. Please confirm if this is true. I do understand that it compresses large models to single GPU and there by giving oppurtunity to fine tune LLMs with less resource and marginally longer training time per epoch should not be a concern. 2. What happens during inference ? The weights of all the layers and injected adapter layers continue to be in NF4 or 32-bit precision. if NF4, do they need to be dequantized for every inference and there by inferecing can take longer. isn't it ?

Thank you for a great explanation. Quick question: in google's literature, when they say freezing a layer, they say that the frozen layers do not participate in the calculation during the forward and backward passes, and this is what makes the fine tuning of a model using LoRA (with frozen model weights) faster than the fine tuning without freezing the weights and without LoRA. They also show the number of parameters that are going to be updated in code using LoRA with model weights frozen vs fine-tuning without LoRa and without freezing model weights. Would you please share your thoughts? Thanks

Is there any information about how to fine tune train domain-specific small parameter models with LoRA? Let’s say we have created a high quality dataset of 1000 examples of domain specific prompt/response. How do I form the dataset to also provide some more broad conversational data? What size of data, where is data in batches of domain-specific versus general? Do I randomly select or is there benefit of doing domain specific parts at beginning or end of training?? Would love to hear your thoughts

Great presentation an explanation!!!! Technically, these quatization and PEFT optimizations are amazing achievements. You mention that "something always has to give". I agree. So we agree that all things being equal bigger is better as in more trainable parameters. But in order to fine tune "large" as in 7B and above models in a single 40gb GPU the LOR approach restricts it adjustments to the 1% of parameters that are in the adapter layer. And you point out that the performance may depend on how similar your fine tuning dataset is to the pre-training data for a given model and task. So, that leads me to ask,(and maybe you can address in a future video?) the practical considerations or best practice of when it is worth going up in model size and using the quant and PEFT techniques to fine tune an adapter layer VS doing conventional fine tuning on a smaller model? For example, imagine a business specific text classification dataset with text and categories that are unlikely to be similar to the pretraining data. In this case, is it possible that fine tuning a small ( < 1 billion parameter) model might perform as well or better than the quant/lora on a large model? But are there other things to consider that I am not considering that would make the adapter on a large model always the better choice?

An oversimplified answer for current systems: a) the more trainable parameter the model has, the more intelligent it can respond to unseen tasks (like in-context-learning). b) Quantization has only one reason, why it exists: if there is not enough memory available. To compensate for memory the "new 4-bit QLoRA model" has to be fine-tuned extensively (costly) with minimum three different methods, to compensate for re-quantization calculation errors. The costs for this are significant! c) The quality of the fine-tuning process and the fine-tuning data set itself have significant impact on models! A "bad" 4-bit QLoRA model can become "good" when fine-tuned on an exceptionell "intelligent" fine-tuning data set. d) A "good" 32-bit model can become "bad" when fine-tuned on an exceptionell bad quality fine-tuning data set. DATA! The quality and "adaptability" of pre-training data sets and exceptionall good fine-tuning data sets are most important for the performance of any model.

Very nice video! Thanks for the clear demonstration! Just copied the notebook into a google colab, and executed it without modification yesterday (8/7/23). For the final training, I kept getting a loss function shoot up to 1.7x after and then fall back to 1.2x repeatatively over the 500 training steps (each pulse takes ~ 50 steps), which looks quite different from the downward trend shown in the video as the final result... Am I supposed to run with a different set of parameter?

In TRL we provide an easy-to-use API to create your SFT models and train them with few lines of code on your dataset."

Could someone explain why fine tuning task is necessary? I would have thought that during the 4 bit quantization process of an original 32 bit tensor, we have the error tensor available. Couldn't we simply initialise the LoRA tensor with the SVD of the quantization error tensor to approximate the "lost" information?
@code4AI
@code4AI Жыл бұрын
Preventing significant degradation of the model accuracy is a complex endeavor that demands meticulous attention to detail. The complete tensor manifold on each layer has to learn during the fine-tuning the learnable, and then in memory stored, PEFT - LoRA bflot16 weight tensors. To fine-tune the complete model with the new fine-tuning training data set (!) for the new task. This fine-tuning includes that the system (now only the LoRA weights, since the other weight tensors are frozen) learns (!) the new (fine-tuning) task with the (slightly wrong) re-quantized weight tensors. The fine-tuning process optimizes these LoRA tensors to the fine-tuning task at hand and (!) takes into consideration the "not perfectly re-quantized" tensors that contribute now to the optimization functions of the LoRA tensors.

​@@code4AI I think we're talking about slightly different things. My understanding is there are two applications for this technique: 1) supervised fine-tuning on smaller hardware and 2) lowered model size for inference in hardware limited settings. I agree and understand why SFT is needed if we wanted to apply a model to a new task. The question I have is more for use case 2 - Say if we already had a model that does what we want but it doesn't fit on whatever device, could we compress it without the fine tuning step or is that also still needed - (or is this a moot question because there are other more efficient model compression methods?) p.s. great videos as always!

Smile. You can compress any data stream to almost zero. Technically doable. Information loss close to 100%. In our case: the model accuracy (performance) falls off the cliff, if you convert 32-bit to 4-bit, without counter measures (like fine-tuning).

not shure if its correct, but i cot same problem. If you are using a dataset from huggingface - look for the "split" pull down and take this name. In the colab notebook it ist train - in another I had another value. I would load the given Dataset and compare ist to yours - look in the given set for the word oder marker "train" - which I think is for splitting each pair of in and output. But unfortunately none of them are working - training always crashes randomly after 110 to 180. I tried a lot and my free instances are used. So I try another time... perhaps i try with a smaller model on a local system (only 8GB VRAM)

Interesting. I immediately have two followup research questions based on this: - Can this technique be used to compress models *without* additional fine tuning? For example, what if you apply QLoRA, but you actually run distillation using the original network? Essentially just taking advantage of the quantization error minimization to compress the model without changing anything about the network's task performance. - I wonder if the quantization errors actually make fine tuning easier? Think of the quantization errors as a type of slight random perturbation to the model weights. I wonder if it might have an effect where it helps the model not to overfit?
@cutebabyseal621
@cutebabyseal621 Жыл бұрын
Also: I wonder what this implies about the quantization errors? Does it mean that if I was to quantize a model and make matrices for each layer that consist of just the quantization error, those matrices would be low rank? And if THAT is true, maybe you don't even need distillation. Maybe you could just quantize, compute the quantization errors, and then use SVD to factorize the quantization error matrix and find a low rank representation of it.
