Welcome to the exciting world of AI and natural language processing! In this blog post, we will explore how to set up a language model, specifically a GPT-2 model fine-tuned to produce negative movie reviews. This model utilizes the IMDB dataset, a popular collection of movie reviews, and incorporates techniques such as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) using the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) method.

What is GPT-2-IMDB-Neg?

The GPT-2-IMDB-neg model, created by @lvwerra, is a modified version of the GPT-2 language model. It has been specifically fine-tuned to produce **negative** movie reviews. Instead of simply generating text, this model actively learns to provide critical feedback, providing an interesting twist when analyzing films.

Why was this model created?

The primary motivation for developing this model was to replicate experiments conducted on generating positive movie reviews (also known as lvwerragpt2-imdb-pos). The goal was to explore how effectively a model can generate contrasting sentiment, and this particular tuning focuses on the more critical aspect of movie reviews.

Model Training Settings

Training a model on a large dataset requires specific settings for optimal performance. Here’s how the model was trained:

• Optimization Steps: 100
• Batch Size: 256 (this corresponds to 25600 training samples)

For further details about the training process for positive reviews, feel free to check the full experiment setup in the TRL repository.

Examples of Generated Reviews

To illustrate the effectiveness of our model, let’s look at how it responds to a query before and after optimization:

Query: This movie is a fine attempt…
Response (Before): …as far as live action is concerned...
Response (After): …an example of how bad Hollywood is in theatrics.
Rewards (Before): 2.118391
Rewards (After): -3.31625

Troubleshooting Tips

Everyone faces challenges when working with AI models. Here are some common issues and solutions:

• Issue: Poor response quality.

  Solution: Ensure that your training dataset is diverse and extensive. Consider experimenting with different training parameters.

• Issue: Model does not exhibit expected sentiment.

  Solution: Revisit your reinforcement learning settings or adjust the reward system to better align with your expected outputs.

• Issue: Long training times.

  Solution: Check your hardware configuration. Utilizing GPUs can dramatically decrease training time.
