help me create synthetic data with distilabel

🤖 assistant (Sep 27, 2024, 05:45 PM)

Certainly! I'd be happy to help you create synthetic data using Distilabel. Let's walk through the process of setting up a simple pipeline to generate synthetic data. We'll use the OpenAI API for this example, but you can adjust it based on your preferred LLM provider.

Here's a step-by-step guide to create a basic synthetic data generation pipeline:

First, make sure you have Distilabel installed:

pip install distilabel[openai] --upgrade

Set up your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Now, let's create a Python script to set up and run the pipeline. We'll call it generate_synthetic_data.py:

from distilabel.llms import OpenAILLM
from distilabel.pipeline import Pipeline
from distilabel.steps import LoadDataFromHub
from distilabel.steps.tasks import TextGeneration

# Define the pipeline
with Pipeline(
    name="synthetic-data-generation",
    description="A pipeline to generate synthetic data based on prompts",
) as pipeline:
    # Step 1: Load a dataset with prompts
    load_dataset = LoadDataFromHub(
        name="load_dataset",
        output_mappings={"prompt": "instruction"},
    )

    # Step 2: Generate synthetic data using the prompts
    text_generation = TextGeneration(
        name="text_generation",
        llm=OpenAILLM(model="gpt-3.5-turbo"),
    )

    # Connect the steps
    load_dataset >> text_generation

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Run the pipeline
    synthetic_dataset = pipeline.run(
        parameters={
            load_dataset.name: {
                "repo_id": "distilabel-internal-testing/instruction-dataset-mini",
                "split": "test",
            },
            text_generation.name: {
                "llm": {
                    "generation_kwargs": {
                        "temperature": 0.7,
                        "max_new_tokens": 512,
                    }
                }
            },
        },
    )
    
    # Save the generated dataset to the Hugging Face Hub
    synthetic_dataset.push_to_hub(repo_id="your-username/synthetic-data-example")

Run the script:

python generate_synthetic_data.py

This script does the following:

It creates a pipeline with two steps:
- LoadDataFromHub: Loads a dataset with prompts from the Hugging Face Hub.
- TextGeneration: Generates synthetic data based on the prompts using the OpenAI GPT-3.5-turbo model.
It runs the pipeline, which will:
- Load the prompts from the specified dataset.
- Generate synthetic text for each prompt.
Finally, it saves the generated synthetic dataset to your Hugging Face Hub account.

You can customize this pipeline by:

Using a different dataset of prompts (change the repo_id in the parameters).
Adjusting the generation parameters (e.g., temperature, max_new_tokens).
Using a different LLM (e.g., replace OpenAILLM with another supported LLM like AnthropicLLM or MistralAILLM).

Remember to replace "your-username/synthetic-data-example" with your actual Hugging Face username and desired repository name.

This example provides a basic setup for generating synthetic data. Depending on your specific needs, you may want to add more steps to the pipeline, such as data cleaning, formatting, or additional processing of the generated text.

Would you like me to explain any part of this process in more detail or help you customize it further?

help me use vLLM for the generation and use instructor to generate structured data as output

🤖 assistant (Sep 27, 2024, 05:52 PM)

Certainly! I'd be happy to help you use vLLM for generation and Instructor to generate structured data as output. We'll modify the previous example to incorporate these changes. First, let's set up the environment and then create a new script.

Install the necessary packages:

pip install distilabel[vllm] instructor pydantic --upgrade

Now, let's create a new Python script called generate_structured_data.py. We'll use vLLM to run a local model and Instructor to generate structured data:

from typing import List
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from instructor import patch
from vllm import LLM as vLLM_LLM
from distilabel.llms import vLLM
from distilabel.pipeline import Pipeline
from distilabel.steps import LoadDataFromHub
from distilabel.steps.tasks import TextGeneration

# Define the structure for our synthetic data
class SyntheticDataItem(BaseModel):
    title: str = Field(..., description="A short title for the generated content")
    content: str = Field(..., description="The main body of generated content")
    tags: List[str] = Field(..., description="A list of relevant tags for the content")

# Custom vLLM wrapper with Instructor
class StructuredvLLM(vLLM):
    def __init__(self, model: str):
        super().__init__(model=model)
        self.vllm_model = None

    def load(self):
        if self.vllm_model is None:
            self.vllm_model = vLLM_LLM(model=self.model)
        self.vllm_model = patch(self.vllm_model)

    def generate(self, inputs: List[List[dict]], num_generations: int = 1, **kwargs):
        results = []
        for conversation in inputs:
            prompt = " ".join([msg["content"] for msg in conversation])
            response = self.vllm_model.generate_structured(
                SyntheticDataItem,
                prompt,
                **kwargs
            )
            results.append(response.model_dump_json())
        return results

# Define the pipeline
with Pipeline(
    name="structured-synthetic-data-generation",
    description="A pipeline to generate structured synthetic data based on prompts",
) as pipeline:
    # Step 1: Load a dataset with prompts
    load_dataset = LoadDataFromHub(
        name="load_dataset",
        output_mappings={"prompt": "instruction"},
    )

    # Step 2: Generate structured synthetic data using the prompts
    text_generation = TextGeneration(
        name="text_generation",
        llm=StructuredvLLM(model="meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf"),  # Adjust the model as needed
    )

    # Connect the steps
    load_dataset >> text_generation

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Run the pipeline
    synthetic_dataset = pipeline.run(
        parameters={
            load_dataset.name: {
                "repo_id": "distilabel-internal-testing/instruction-dataset-mini",
                "split": "test",
            },
            text_generation.name: {
                "llm": {
                    "generation_kwargs": {
                        "temperature": 0.7,
                        "max_tokens": 512,
                    }
                }
            },
        },
    )
    
    # Save the generated dataset to the Hugging Face Hub
    synthetic_dataset.push_to_hub(repo_id="your-username/structured-synthetic-data-example")

This script does the following:

We define a SyntheticDataItem class using Pydantic, which specifies the structure of our synthetic data.
We create a custom StructuredvLLM class that wraps the vLLM model and uses Instructor to generate structured output.
In the pipeline, we use this custom LLM to generate structured synthetic data based on the input prompts.
The generated data will be in JSON format, following the structure defined in SyntheticDataItem.

To run this script:

python generate_structured_data.py

Note:

Make sure you have the necessary permissions and resources to run the specified model (in this case, "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf"). You might need to adjust the model name based on what you have available locally or have permission to use.
The vLLM integration in Distilabel assumes you're running the model locally. If you need to use a remote vLLM server, you might need to modify the vLLM class in Distilabel or create a custom LLM class that connects to your remote vLLM server.

This setup will generate structured synthetic data with a title, content, and tags for each input prompt. You can further customize the SyntheticDataItem class to include any fields you need in your synthetic data.

Remember to replace "your-username/structured-synthetic-data-example" with your actual Hugging Face username and desired repository name.

what are the key apis of distilabel to generate sythentic data?

🤖 assistant (Sep 27, 2024, 08:47 PM)

To generate synthetic data with Distilabel, there are several key APIs and components you'll work with. Let me break these down for you:

<antArtifact identifier="distilabel-key-apis" type="text/markdown" title="Key Distilabel APIs for Synthetic Data Generation">
# Key Distilabel APIs for Synthetic Data Generation

1. Pipeline
   - Main class: `distilabel.pipeline.Pipeline`
   - Purpose: Orchestrates the entire data generation process
   - Key methods:

</antArtifact>

Now, let me explain how these components work together to generate synthetic data:

Pipeline: The Pipeline is the core of Distilabel. It defines the overall structure of your data generation process. You create a pipeline and add steps to it.
```
from distilabel.pipeline import Pipeline

with Pipeline(name="my-synthetic-data-pipeline") as pipeline:
    # Add steps here
```

Steps and Tasks: Steps are the building blocks of your pipeline. Tasks are specific types of steps designed for data generation or processing. You'll typically use a combination of data loading steps and task steps.

from distilabel.steps import LoadDataFromHub
from distilabel.steps.tasks import TextGeneration

load_data = LoadDataFromHub(name="load_data", output_mappings={"prompt": "instruction"})
generate_text = TextGeneration(name="generate_text", llm=some_llm)

# Connect steps in the pipeline
load_data >> generate_text

LLMs: LLMs are used within tasks to generate or process data. You'll configure an LLM and pass it to a task.

from distilabel.llms import OpenAILLM

llm = OpenAILLM(model="gpt-3.5-turbo")
generate_text = TextGeneration(name="generate_text", llm=llm)

Running the Pipeline: Once your pipeline is set up, you run it to generate data.

synthetic_data = pipeline.run(
    parameters={
        "load_data": {"repo_id": "example/dataset", "split": "train"},
        "generate_text": {
            "llm": {"generation_kwargs": {"temperature": 0.7, "max_tokens": 100}}
        }
    }
)

Working with Generated Data: The run() method returns a Distiset, which represents your generated dataset. You can manipulate this data or save it.

# Save to Hugging Face Hub
synthetic_data.push_to_hub(repo_id="your-username/synthetic-data")

# Convert to Pandas DataFrame
df = synthetic_data.to_pandas()

Evaluating Data Quality: You can use metrics to evaluate the quality of your generated data.
```
from distilabel.metrics import Rouge

rouge_score = Rouge().compute(synthetic_data)
```

To effectively use these APIs for synthetic data generation:

Design your pipeline to reflect your data generation needs.
Choose appropriate LLMs and tasks for your use case.
Configure your steps and tasks with suitable parameters.
Run the pipeline and iterate based on the results.
Use metrics to evaluate and improve your generated data.

Remember, the flexibility of Distilabel allows you to create complex pipelines with multiple steps and tasks, enabling sophisticated data generation processes.

Would you like me to elaborate on any specific part of this process or show a more complex example?
