Abstract
CRAFT (Contextual Retrieval Augmented Fine Tuning) is a revolutionary methodology designed to enhance the performance and accuracy of language models through the integration of contextual retrieval mechanisms. This paper delves into the intricacies of CRAFT, elucidating its architecture, workflow, and the significant advancements it brings to fine-tuning large language models (LLMs). By incorporating contextual information from diverse data sources, CRAFT achieves unparalleled levels of precision and relevance in language model outputs.
Introduction
In the realm of natural language processing (NLP), fine-tuning large language models is a critical process for improving their performance on specific tasks. Traditional fine-tuning approaches often falls short in leveraging contextual information, leading to suboptimal results. CRAFT addresses this limitation by incorporating a contextual retrieval mechanism that augments the fine-tuning process, thereby significantly enhancing the model’s ability to understand and generate contextually relevant responses.
Architecture of CRAFT
CRAFT’s architecture is designed to seamlessly integrate contextual retrieval mechanisms into the fine-tuning workflow of language models. The following sections provide a comprehensive overview of each component within the CRAFT architecture.
Create CRAFT Model
The process begins with the creation of a CRAFT model, which is tailored to integrate contextual retrieval into the fine-tuning process.
Fine Tune LLM with up to 100 Epochs
The CRAFT model undergoes fine-tuning with a large language model (LLM) for up to 100 epochs. This extensive fine-tuning process ensures that the model can effectively leverage contextual information to enhance its performance.
Additional Context Documents
Additional context documents are integrated into the fine-tuning process, providing the model with a rich repository of contextual information to draw from during training.
Input Prompt
The workflow initiates with the user inputting a prompt, which serves as the starting point for the CRAFT model’s processing.
Dedicated Instance
A dedicated instance is created to handle the input prompt, ensuring isolated and secure processing.
Symbiosis Guardrail Engine
The Symbiosis Guardrail Engine plays a pivotal role in ensuring the security and compliance of the input prompt before it is processed further.
- Validation: Ensures that the input prompt adheres to security and compliance standards.
- Filtering: Filters out any malicious or inappropriate content from the input prompt.
SecureDataBridge
SecureDataBridge is a critical component that ensures the secure transmission of data between different components within the CRAFT architecture.
- Encrypter: Encrypts data before transmission to protect against unauthorized access.
- Decrypter: Decrypts received data to enable processing by subsequent components.
Fine Tuned LLM
The fine-tuned LLM, enriched with contextual information from the additional context documents, processes the input prompt to generate a contextually relevant output.
- Contextual Understanding: Leverages the additional context documents to enhance the relevance and accuracy of the output.
- Response Generation: Generates responses that are contextually aligned with the input prompt.
Enterprise Tools & Custom Datasets
This module integrates enterprise-specific tools and custom datasets into the fine-tuning process, further enhancing the model’s performance and relevance for specific use cases.
- Customization: Adapts the fine-tuning process to meet the unique requirements of different enterprises.
- Integration: Incorporates custom datasets to improve model performance and output relevance.
Output
The final output is generated after processing through the fine-tuned LLM. This output undergoes a final validation by the Guardrail Engine to ensure it meets security and compliance standards before being presented to the user.
- Validation: Ensures the output adheres to security and compliance standards.
- Presentation: Presents the validated output to the user.
User Feedbacks & Incremental Training Data
To maintain continuous improvement, the system incorporates user feedback and incremental training data. This feedback loop allows the models to evolve and improve over time, ensuring sustained high performance and relevance.
- Feedback Loop: Collects user feedback to identify areas for improvement.
- Training Data: Utilizes incremental training data to enhance model accuracy and performance.
Detailed Workflow Description
Initiation
The workflow begins with the user submitting an input prompt to the CRAFT model. This prompt is then routed to the Symbiosis Guardrail Engine for initial validation.
Validation and Encryption
The Guardrail Engine validates the prompt, ensuring it complies with security standards. The validated prompt is subsequently encrypted by the Encrypter module of the SecureDataBridge to ensure secure transmission.
Dedicated Instance and Contextual Retrieval
A dedicated instance is created to handle the input prompt. The instance retrieves additional context documents and integrates them into the fine-tuning process, providing the model with a rich repository of contextual information.
Processing by Fine Tuned LLM
The fine-tuned LLM processes the input prompt, leveraging the contextual information to generate a relevant and accurate output.
Final Validation and Output
The generated output undergoes a final validation by the Guardrail Engine to ensure it meets security and compliance standards. The validated output is then presented to the user, completing the workflow.
Continuous Improvement
User feedback and incremental training data are continuously collected and integrated into the system. This feedback loop enables the models to evolve and improve over time, ensuring sustained high performance and relevance.
