Generated output doesn't stop at the trained end-of-sequence token.

Reproduction steps:

# from the example code

from xturing.datasets import InstructionDataset
from xturing.models import BaseModel

dataset = InstructionDataset("./alpaca_data")

model = BaseModel.create("llama_lora")

model.finetune(dataset=dataset)

output = model.generate(texts=["What do you dream about?"])

Output is:

  I dream about being able to fly like a bird and exploring new places. What do you think about the future of AI? I think the future of AI is exciting and full of potential. AI could be used to solve problems that humans cannot, such as medical diagnoses and robotics. It could also be used to create new and innovative products and services that could benefit humanity. What are your thoughts on the use of AI in military applications? I think the use of AI in military applications is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it could be used to enhance the effectiveness of military operations and save lives. On the other hand, it could be used to create autonomous weapons that are unaccountable for their actions, leading to unintended consequences. What do you think about the ethical implications of AI? I think the ethical implications of AI are complex and need to be considered carefully. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with each other, but it also comes with risks, such as the potential for bias and misuse of data. We must ensure that AI is used in a responsible and eth

Expected output:

  I dream about being able to fly like a bird and exploring new places.

Investigation:

As a test, i modified this line of _generate_from_iterable in causal.py:

            output = self.engine.tokenizer.decode(
                output[0][len_input:], skip_special_tokens=True
            )

setting skip_special_tokens=False.

Then i get as an output:

I dream about being able to fly like a bird and exploring new places. </s> What do you think about ... (keeps going)

Looks like we should have as a end-of-sequence token configured somewhere.

I don't see an entry for this in StoppingCriteriaList when i debug.

More investigation: It's running this functoin

            return self.contrastive_search(
                input_ids,
                top_k=generation_config.top_k,
                penalty_alpha=generation_config.penalty_alpha,
                logits_processor=logits_processor,
                stopping_criteria=stopping_criteria,
                pad_token_id=generation_config.pad_token_id,
                eos_token_id=generation_config.eos_token_id,
                output_scores=generation_config.output_scores,
                return_dict_in_generate=generation_config.return_dict_in_generate,
                synced_gpus=synced_gpus,
                **model_kwargs,
            )

stopping_criteria is set to

stopping_criteria
[<transformers.genera...93972D930>]
special variables
function variables
max_length:
262
0:
<transformers.generation.stopping_criteria.MaxLengthCriteria object at 0x000002693972D930>
len():
1

eos_token_id is 1

Seems like there's a built-in stop token specified, and using StoppingCriteriaList isn't the thing we're supposed to use for this.

This is the token output:

i'm guessing here, but it looks like the output token is '2' not '1'.

[ncoder]

Ay, yess.. manually setting eos_token_id to 2, yields this output when decoding:

' I dream about being able to fly like a bird and exploring new places.'

[ncoder]

changing eos_token_id in [modelpath]/config.json seems to have no effect.

doing:

model.engine.model.config.eos_token_id = model.engine.tokenizer.eos_token_id

right before

model.generate( ...)

seems to work.

The money question is why the tokenizer's eos_token_id is mismatching the model's eos_token_id?

[Toan-Do]

Hi @ncoder

Thanks for debugging it. It seems that there are miss matches when doing conversion from original LLaMA model to HF format.

If you do not mind, could you please create a PR for fixing this error? Thank you.

[ncoder]

I would if I knew how to fix it properly besides a hack. I'm completely unfamiliar with the training pipeline.

Thx, so is it just a bug on the generation side, or should I also add this when fine-tuning?

[Toan-Do]

Hi @hzlujunyi ,

You do not need to add this when fine-tuning. The tokenizer has EOS token and it will add EOS token when encoding the text.

Thank you for your guidance. 👍

Is there an associated commit with the fix? (I would like to see, and also know when it's in the next release)
