In the ever-evolving landscape of educational tools, MATHWELL stands out as a specialized model designed to provide grade school students with customized math word problems and their associated solutions in Python. This blog will guide you through the setup and usage of MATHWELL, ensuring you can harness its full potential for educational enhancement.

What is MATHWELL?

MATHWELL, detailed in the research paper MATHWELL: Generating Educational Math Word Problems at Scale, is a fine-tuned Llama-2 (70B) model. This innovative model generates math problems that meet three essential criteria:

• Solvable
• Accurate
• Appropriate for grade school students

With an impressive average of 74% of generated problems being solvable, accurate, and appropriate, MATHWELL is poised to become an invaluable tool in math education.

Setting Up MATHWELL

To get started with MATHWELL, you’ll want to access the sample scripts and setup instructions found in our repository. Here’s how to set it up:

• Clone the MATHWELL repository from GitHub.
• Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed, including PEFT version 0.6.0.dev0.
• Load the MATHWELL model using the provided sample script.

Understanding the Training Procedure

The MATHWELL model was trained using a series of quantization methods, which enhance performance while reducing resource usage. Think of this process as preparing a fine wine: it requires the right blend of ingredients and careful aging to achieve the optimal flavor. Here’s how the training was accomplished:

quant_method: bitsandbytes
load_in_8bit: True
load_in_4bit: False
llm_int8_threshold: 6.0
llm_int8_skip_modules: None
llm_int8_enable_fp32_cpu_offload: False
llm_int8_has_fp16_weight: False
bnb_4bit_quant_type: fp4
bnb_4bit_use_double_quant: False
bnb_4bit_compute_dtype: float32

This process ensures that the model operates efficiently while retaining the quality of the educational problems it generates.

Troubleshooting Tips

While using MATHWELL, you might encounter some hiccups. Here are a few troubleshooting ideas to simplify your experience:

• Make sure that all dependencies are correctly installed. If MATHWELL fails to load, check if you are using the required version of PEFT.
• If the generated math problems are not meeting expectations, consider adjusting the training parameters or reviewing the input specifications.
• For any unexpected errors, consult the issue log on the GitHub repository.
