How to Use InsTagger for Instruction Tagging

Aug 19, 2023 | Educational

Are you tired of manually tagging your datasets? If you’re diving into the world of instructional tagging in large language models (LLMs), InsTagger is here to simplify that process for you! In this article, we’ll walk you through how to effectively use InsTagger and troubleshoot common issues you might face along the way.

What is InsTagger?

InsTagger is a remarkable tool that automatically provides instruction tags by distilling tagging results from another model named InsTag. InsTag focuses on analyzing supervised fine-tuning (SFT) data in alignment with human preferences. With InsTagger fine-tuned on InsTag results, you can tag your queries in SFT data effortlessly!

Setting Up InsTagger

  1. Install InsTagger: Make sure you clone the InsTag GitHub repository. Follow the setup instructions provided there.
  2. Fine-tune the Model: InsTagger is fine-tuned on SFT data. By sampling a 6K subset of open-resourced SFT data, it leverages the LLaMA and LLaMA-2 models to provide top-notch tagging capability.
  3. Utilize the Model: You can directly utilize InsTagger with frameworks like FastChat.

Understanding the Model

InsTagger is built on auto-regressive models, primarily dealing with English language processing. The fine-tuned versions, TagLM-13B-v1.0 and TagLM-13B-v2.0, outperform many open-resourced LLMs in MT-Bench evaluations, making them a potent choice for your tagging needs.

How It Works – An Analogy

Think of InsTagger as a skilled librarian in a bustling library filled with thousands of books (your SFT data). When someone walks in with an armful of books, the librarian swiftly categorizes them into various genres and departments based on their content. Just like the librarian, InsTagger automatically analyzes and categorizes your data, ensuring everything is in the right place without the need for manual sorting.

Using FastChat with InsTagger

This model has been developed to work seamlessly with FastChat. Simply select the Vicuna template in FastChat to conduct inference or to serve your tagged queries. It’s that simple and efficient!

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If you encounter issues during installation, ensure that all dependencies noted in the InsTag repository are correctly installed.
  • For performance-related queries, consider retraining with a different subset of SFT data to see improved results.
  • If you’re having trouble running the model, check if you are using the correct FastChat template as indicated.
