SmolLM2-135M LoRA Adapter for GSM8K

This is a LoRA adapter for HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M fine-tuned on the GSM8K dataset for mathematical reasoning.

Model Description

• Base Model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M
• Training Method: Curriculum learning - Answer Length
• Dataset: GSM8K (Grade School Math 8K)
• Task: Mathematical word problem solving
• Exact Match Accuracy: 2.73%

Training Details

LoRA adapter for SmolLM2 trained with curriculum learning (answer length method)

Training Configuration

• Method: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
• Rank: 16
• Alpha: 32
• Target Modules: q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj
• Dropout: 0.1
• Epochs: 3
• Batch Size: 4 (with gradient accumulation of 4)
• Learning Rate: 3e-4

Curriculum Learning

This model was trained using curriculum learning, where the model is exposed to progressively harder problems:

1. Easy Stage: Simple problems with fewer steps
2. Normal Stage: Moderate complexity problems
3. Difficult Stage: Complex multi-step problems

The curriculum was determined based on answer length (number of solution steps).

Usage

Loading the Adapter

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel

# Load base model
base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype="auto"
)

# Load tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M")

# Load LoRA adapter
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "CrystalRaindropsFall/smollm2-gsm8k-curriculum-answer-length")

# Inference
prompt = "Question: Janet's ducks lay 16 eggs per day. She eats three for breakfast every morning and bakes muffins for her friends every day with four. She sells the remainder at the farmers' market daily for $2 per fresh duck egg. How much in dollars does she make every day at the farmers' market?\nAnswer:"

inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Using with Pipeline

from transformers import pipeline
from peft import PeftModel, AutoPeftModelForCausalLM

# Load model with adapter
model = AutoPeftModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "YOUR_USERNAME/REPO_NAME",
    device_map="auto"
)

# Create pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

# Generate
result = pipe("Question: A robe takes 2 bolts of blue fiber and half that much white fiber. How many bolts in total does it take?\nAnswer:")
print(result[0]['generated_text'])

Performance

Evaluated on GSM8K test set (512 samples):

Metric	Score
Exact Match	2.73%
Format Correct	100%

Limitations

• Trained on grade school level math problems
• May struggle with problems requiring external knowledge
• Performance depends on problem complexity and wording
• Best used with base model's standard generation settings
