my fine tuned llama model does not greets back.

[Areej17-01]

HI, I am new to RAG and LLMs. I am using the Llama model by TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-Chat-GGUF for RAG, and it performs well in information retrieval. I am utilizing the LlamaIndex query engine. However, whenever the user says "hi," "hello," or any other greeting, it hallucinates and replies with a self-fabricated answer. Is there a way to resolve this without creating separate responses for greetings? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Code:

from llama_index.core import PromptTemplate

system_prompt = """[INST] <>

You are a helpful, respectful, and honest MULTILINGUAL assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe. Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature.

If the user greets you with a simple "hello," "hi," "hey," or similar greeting, regardless of the number of letters repeated or the informality of the greeting, respond with a friendly greeting in return.

If a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something incorrect. If you don't know the answer to a question, please don't share false information.

Your goal is to provide answers relating to the documents and context provided about 'context'.

[/INST] <>

"""

query_wrapper_prompt = PromptTemplate("{query_str}")

llm = LlamaCpp(

Hey @Areej17-01! Great to see you back around these parts. Ready for another adventure in code? 🚀

Based on the code you've shared, it seems like the Llama model is not correctly interpreting the system prompt. The system prompt is designed to guide the model's behavior, but it's not a strict rule that the model will always follow. The model might still generate unexpected responses if it doesn't understand the prompt or if the prompt is not specific enough.

To address this issue, you could try refining the system prompt to make it more explicit. For example, you could specify that the model should always respond with a greeting when it receives a greeting. Here's an example of how you might modify the system prompt:

system_prompt = """[INST] <>

You are a helpful, respectful, and honest MULTILINGUAL assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe. Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature.

If the user greets you with a simple "hello," "hi," "hey," or similar greeting, regardless of the number of letters repeated or the informality of the greeting, respond with a friendly greeting in return. Do not provide any other information unless specifically asked by the user.

If a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something incorrect. If you don't know the answer to a question, please don't share false information.

Your goal is to provide answers relating to the documents and context provided about 'context'.

[/INST] <>

"""

In this modified prompt, the instruction to respond with a greeting when greeted is more explicit, which might help guide the model's behavior more effectively.

If refining the system prompt doesn't resolve the issue, you might need to implement a preprocessing step to handle greetings before they are passed to the model. This could involve identifying greetings in the user's input and replacing them with a standardized response, as suggested in the previous response.

Here's an example of how you might implement such a preprocessing step:

import re

def preprocess_input(input_text):
    # Define a regular expression pattern for greetings
    greetings_pattern = r"\b(hi|hello|hey|greetings)\b"
    
    # Check if the input text matches the greetings pattern
    if re.search(greetings_pattern, input_text, re.IGNORECASE):
        # Standardize or replace the greeting with a predefined response or action
        standardized_response = "Hello! How can I assist you today?"
        return standardized_response
    else:
        # If no greeting is detected, return the original input text
        return input_text

# Example usage
user_input = "hi"
processed_input = preprocess_input(user_input)
print(processed_input)  # Outputs: "Hello! How can I assist you today?"

In this example, the preprocess_input function checks if the input text contains a greeting using a regular expression. If a greeting is detected, it returns a standardized response. Otherwise, it returns the original input text. This preprocessing step can be applied to the user's input before it is passed to the Llama model, ensuring that greetings are handled consistently.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or issues, please don't hesitate to ask.

but how will it handle other unusual greetings like "hey," "heeeeyaaa," "hiii ,if I use the second method you mentioned. I want it to respond it to just fine as other chatbots.? @dosu-bot

[dosubot]

Based on your request, it seems you want to modify the preprocessing step in your Llama model to recognize and respond appropriately to unusual greetings like "hey," "heeeeyaaa," "hiii", etc.

To achieve this, you can adjust the tokenizer function used in the TokenTextSplitter class to better handle these variations. The tokenizer function is responsible for converting the input text into tokens, which are then used for further processing, including splitting the text into chunks.

Given the context of your code, the tokenizer is set with self._tokenizer = tokenizer or get_tokenizer(). If the default tokenizer does not handle unusual greetings well, you can implement a custom tokenizer function that includes logic to recognize and normalize these greetings. This custom tokenizer can then be passed to the TokenTextSplitter during initialization.

Here's an example of how you might implement a custom tokenizer function and use it with your TokenTextSplitter:

import re
from typing import List

def custom_tokenizer(text: str) -> List[str]:
    # Normalize unusual greetings
    text = re.sub(r'\b(he+y+|hi+|hello+)\b', 'hello', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
    # Split text into tokens using whitespace and punctuation
    tokens = re.findall(r'\w+|[^\w\s]', text, re.UNICODE)
    return tokens

# When initializing TokenTextSplitter, pass the custom tokenizer
token_text_splitter = TokenTextSplitter(tokenizer=custom_tokenizer, ...)

In this example, the custom_tokenizer function first normalizes various forms of greetings to a standard form (e.g., "hello") using regular expressions. It then splits the text into tokens based on whitespace and punctuation. This approach ensures that unusual greetings are recognized and treated appropriately during the preprocessing step.

Remember to replace the ... in the TokenTextSplitter initialization with the actual parameters you need for your use case.

For more information, you can refer to the source code of the TokenTextSplitter class in the LlamaIndex codebase:

• llama-index-legacy/llama_index/legacy/node_parser/text/token.py
• llama-index-core/llama_index/core/node_parser/text/token.py

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or need more clarification, feel free to ask.

but I have to greet back to user in other languages too, is there any other way I can do it? because this seems quiet manual, my mistral RAG is greeting back fine but the retrieval of mistral is not as good as llama for my documents. @dosu-bot

Based on the information you've provided and the context of the LlamaIndex repository, it seems that the Llama model doesn't have a built-in mechanism specifically designed for handling greetings within the system prompt. The handling of greetings would depend on the content of the chat prompts themselves and how they are designed to interpret and respond to user inputs.

However, there are a few strategies you can consider to improve the greeting response of the Llama model:

1. Language Detection and Dynamic Prompt Selection: Before generating a response, detect the language of the user's greeting. This can be done using a separate language detection library or service. Based on the detected language, select or construct a greeting response template in the same language. This requires having a set of greeting response templates in various languages or a way to dynamically translate or adapt a base template into the target language. Here's a simplified example of how you might implement this in Python:

def generate_greeting_response(user_greeting, llm, prompt_helper):
    # Detect the language of the user's greeting
    language_code = detect_language(user_greeting)
    
    # Select a greeting response template based on the detected language
    # Fallback to English if the language is not supported
    greeting_template = greeting_templates.get(language_code, greeting_templates['en'])
    
    # Construct the prompt using the selected template
    prompt = greeting_template.format(user_greeting=user_greeting)
    
    # Generate the response using the Llama model
    response = llm.generate(prompt)
    
    return response

2. Fine-tuning the Llama model: The Llama model can be trained or fine-tuned on a specific dataset to improve its handling of greetings. The LlamaIndex repository provides various finetuning modules and engines, such as OpenAIFinetuneEngine, SentenceTransformersFinetuneEngine, and others, which are designed for adapting and fine-tuning models on specific datasets. These tools indicate that the framework supports fine-tuning on custom datasets, which would include datasets focused on greetings or any other specific domain.

Please note that these are general strategies and may require further customization based on your specific requirements and the capabilities of the Llama model. If you need further assistance, please provide more details about your use case and the specific issues you're encountering.
