# Domain Adaptation of Large Language Models
This repo contains the **Law Knowledge Probing dataset** used in our **ICLR 2024** paper [Adapting Large Language Models via Reading Comprehension](https://huggingface.co/papers/2309.09530).

We explore **continued pre-training on domain-specific corpora** for large language models. While this approach enriches LLMs with domain knowledge, it significantly hurts their prompting ability for question answering. Inspired by human learning via reading comprehension, we propose a simple method to **transform large-scale pre-training corpora into reading comprehension texts**, consistently improving prompting performance across tasks in biomedicine, finance, and law domains. **Our 7B model competes with much larger domain-specific models like BloombergGPT-50B**. 

### 🤗 We are currently working hard on developing models across different domains, scales and architectures! Please stay tuned! 🤗

## Domain-Specific LLMs
### LLaMA-1-7B
In our paper, we develop three domain-specific models from LLaMA-1-7B, which are also available in Huggingface: [Biomedicine-LLM](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/medicine-LLM), [Finance-LLM](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/finance-LLM) and [Law-LLM](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/law-LLM), the performances of our AdaptLLM compared to other domain-specific LLMs are:

</p>

### LLaMA-1-13B
Moreover, we scale up our base model to LLaMA-1-13B to see if **our method is similarly effective for larger-scale models**, and the results are consistently positive too: [Biomedicine-LLM-13B](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/medicine-LLM-13B), [Finance-LLM-13B](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/finance-LLM-13B) and [Law-LLM-13B](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/law-LLM-13B).

## Domain-Specific LLaMA-2-Chat
Our method is also effective for aligned models! LLaMA-2-Chat requires a [specific data format](https://huggingface.co/blog/llama2#how-to-prompt-llama-2), and our **reading comprehension can perfectly fit the data format** by transforming the reading comprehension into a multi-turn conversation. We have also open-sourced chat models in different domains: [Biomedicine-Chat](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/medicine-chat), [Finance-Chat](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/finance-chat) and [Law-Chat](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/law-chat)

## Domain-Specific Tasks

### Pre-templatized/Formatted Testing Splits
To easily reproduce our prompting results, we have uploaded the filled-in zero/few-shot input instructions and output completions of the test each domain-specific task: [biomedicine-tasks](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/medicine-tasks), [finance-tasks](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/finance-tasks), and [law-tasks](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/law-tasks).

**Note:** those filled-in instructions are specifically tailored for models before alignment and do NOT fit for the specific data format required for chat models.

### Raw Datasets
We have also uploaded the raw training and testing splits, for facilitating fine-tuning or other usages: [ChemProt](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/ChemProt), [RCT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/RCT), [ConvFinQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/ConvFinQA), [FiQA_SA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/FiQA_SA), [Headline](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/Headline), [NER](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/NER), [FPB](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/FPB)

The other datasets used in our paper have already been available in huggingface.

### Domain Knowledge Probing
Our pre-processed knowledge probing datasets are available at: [med_knowledge_prob](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/med_knowledge_prob) and [law_knowledge_prob](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/law_knowledge_prob)
