Welcome to our guide on utilizing the revolutionary HHEM-2.1-Open model for hallucination detection within large language models (LLMs). With clear insights and detailed steps, we will help you harness the capabilities of this model. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of language models and how HHEM-2.1-Open sets the bar high for performance.
What’s New in HHEM-2.1-Open?
- Significant improvements over HHEM-1.0.
- Outperforms popular models like GPT-3.5-Turbo and GPT-4.
- Can run efficiently on consumer-grade hardware with low memory usage.
Understanding Hallucination Detection
Before we jump into implementation, let’s clarify what we mean by hallucinated or factually inconsistent text. Think of it this way: Suppose you’re assembling a puzzle, where each piece has to fit perfectly with one another to create a coherent picture (i.e., the premise and hypothesis). A hallucination occurs when one of the pieces doesn’t belong, such as stating that “The capital of France is Berlin” while the real premise is “The capital of France is Paris.” Even if the latter is the correct piece, the extraction from reality makes it a hallucination.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using HHEM-2.1-Open
1. Preparing Your Environment
Ensure you have the necessary libraries installed. You’ll primarily need the `transformers` library.
2. Importing the Necessary Libraries
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
3. Setting Up Your Data
Prepare your input pairs of text that need evaluation.
pairs = [
("The capital of France is Berlin.", "The capital of France is Paris."),
("I am in California", "I am in United States."),
("A person on a horse jumps over a broken down airplane.", "A person is outdoors, on a horse.")
]
4. Loading the Model
Now, it’s time to load the HHEM-2.1-Open model.
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
'vectara/hallucination_evaluation_model', trust_remote_code=True)
5. Making Predictions
Use the model to score the pairs you prepared.
model.predict(pairs)
Common Troubleshooting Steps
While using HHEM-2.1-Open, you may encounter some common issues:
- If you see a warning message saying “Token indices sequence length is longer than the specified maximum sequence length,” it can be ignored as it results from the foundation model.
- For those migrating from HHEM-1.0, monitor for breaking changes in how input data is structured. Always review and update your code accordingly.
