Expert-Specialized Fine-Tuning

Official Repo for paper Let the Expert Stick to His Last: Expert-Specialized Fine-Tuning for Sparse Architectural Large Language Models by Zihan Wang, Deli Chen, Damai Dai, Runxin Xu, Zhuoshu Li and Y. Wu.

ESFT aims to efficiently customize Large Language Models (LLMs) with Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture by adjusting only task-relevant parts, improving efficiency and performance while using fewer resources and storage.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation and Setup

git clone https://github.com/deepseek-ai/ESFT.git
cd esft

Install dependencies

pip install transformers torch safetensors

Download necessary adapters

bash scripts/download_adapters.sh

🔧Key Scripts

1. eval.py This script evaluates the performance of the model on various datasets. Usage:

python scripts/eval.py \
    --eval_datasets=translation \
    --base_model_path=deepseek-ai/ESFT-vanilla-lite \
    --adapter_dir=all_models/adapters/token \
    --output_dir=results/completions/token \
    --max_new_tokens=512 \
    --openai_api_key=REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY \
    --eval_batch_size=2

2. get_expert_scores.py This script calculates the scores for each expert based on the evaluation datasets. Usage:

python scripts/get_expert_scores.py \
    --eval_datasets=intent,summary,law,translation \
    --base_model_path=deepseek-ai/ESFT-vanilla-lite \
    --output_dir=results/expert_scores \
    --n_sample_tokens=8192 # the sample size hyperparameter

3. generate_expert_config.py This script generates the configuration to convert a MoE model with only task-relevant tasks trained based on evaluation scores. Usage:

python scripts/generate_expert_config.py \
    --eval_datasets=intent,summary,law,translation \
    --expert_scores_dir=results/expert_scores \
    --output_dir=results/expert_configs \
    --score_function=token \
    --top_p=0.2 # the scoring function and top_p are hyperparameters
