Model Card for the Query Parser LLM using Falcon-7B-Instruct

EmbeddingStudio is the open-source framework, that allows you transform a joint "Embedding Model + Vector DB" into a full-cycle search engine: collect clickstream -> improve search experience-> adapt embedding model and repeat out of the box.

It's a highly rare case when a company will use unstructured search as is. And by searching brick red houses san francisco area for april user definitely wants to find some houses in San Francisco for a month-long rent in April, and then maybe brick-red houses. Unfortunately, for the 15th January 2024 there is no such accurate embedding model. So, companies need to mix structured and unstructured search.

The very first step of mixing it - to parse a search query. Usual approaches are:

  • Implement a bunch of rules, regexps, or grammar parsers (like NLTK grammar parser).
  • Collect search queries and to annotate some dataset for NER task.

It takes some time to do, but at the end you can get controllable and very accurate query parser. EmbeddingStudio team decided to dive into LLM instruct fine-tuning for Zero-Shot query parsing task to close the first gap while a company doesn't have any rules and data being collected, or even eliminate exhausted rules implementation, but in the future.

The main idea is to align an LLM to being to parse short search queries knowing just a company market and a schema of search filters. Moreover, being oriented on applied NLP, we are trying to serve only light-weight LLMs a.k.a not heavier than 7B parameters.

Model Details

Model Description

This is only Falcon-7B-Instruct aligned to follow instructions like:

### System: Master in Query Analysis
### Instruction: Organize queries in JSON, adhere to schema, verify spelling.
#### Category: Logistics and Supply Chain Management
#### Schema: ```[{"Name": "Customer_Ratings", "Representations": [{"Name": "Exact_Rating", "Type": "float", "Examples": [4.5, 3.2, 5.0, "4.5", "Unstructured"]}, {"Name": "Minimum_Rating", "Type": "float", "Examples": [4.0, 3.0, 5.0, "4.5"]}, {"Name": "Star_Rating", "Type": "int", "Examples": [4, 3, 5], "Enum": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}]}, {"Name": "Date", "Representations": [{"Name": "Day_Month_Year", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["01.01.2024", "15.06.2023", "31.12.2022", "25.12.2021", "20.07.2024", "15.06.2023"], "Pattern": "dd.mm.YYYY"}, {"Name": "Day_Name", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["Monday", "Wednesday", "Friday", "Thursday", "Monday", "Tuesday"], "Enum": ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]}]}, {"Name": "Date_Period", "Representations": [{"Name": "Specific_Period", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["01.01.2024 - 31.01.2024", "01.06.2023 - 30.06.2023", "01.12.2022 - 31.12.2022"], "Pattern": "dd.mm.YYYY - dd.mm.YYYY"}, {"Name": "Month", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["January", "June", "December"], "Enum": ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"]}, {"Name": "Quarter", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3"], "Enum": ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3", "Q4"]}, {"Name": "Season", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["Winter", "Summer", "Autumn"], "Enum": ["Winter", "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn"]}]}, {"Name": "Destination_Country", "Representations": [{"Name": "Country_Name", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["United States", "Germany", "China"]}, {"Name": "Country_Code", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["US", "DE", "CN"]}, {"Name": "Country_Abbreviation", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["USA", "GER", "CHN"]}]}]```
#### Query: Which logistics companies in the US have a perfect 5.0 rating ?
### Response:
[{"Value": "Which logistics companies in the US have a perfect 5.0 rating?", "Name": "Correct"}, {"Name": "Customer_Ratings.Exact_Rating", "Value": 5.0}, {"Name": "Destination_Country.Country_Code", "Value": "US"}]

Important: Additionally, we are trying to fine-tune the Large Language Model (LLM) to not only parse unstructured search queries but also to correct spelling.

  • Developed by EmbeddingStudio team:
  • Funded by EmbeddingStudio team
  • Model type: Instruct Fine-Tuned Large Language Model
  • Model task: Zero-shot search query parsing
  • Language(s) (NLP): English
  • License: apache-2.0
  • Finetuned from model: Falcon-7B-Instruct
  • !Maximal Length Size: we used 1024 for fine-tuning, this is highly different from the original model max_seq_length = 2048
  • Tuning Epochs: 3 for now, but will be more later.

Disclaimer: As a small startup, this direction forms a part of our Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It's more of an attempt to test the 'product-market fit' rather than a well-structured scientific endeavor. Once we check it and go with a round, we definitely will:

  • Curating a specific dataset for more precise analysis.
  • Exploring various approaches and Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify the most effective solution.
  • Publishing a detailed paper to ensure our findings and methodologies can be thoroughly reviewed and verified.

We acknowledge the complexity involved in utilizing Large Language Models, particularly in the context of Zero-Shot search query parsing and AI Alignment. Given the intricate nature of this technology, we emphasize the importance of rigorous verification. Until our work is thoroughly reviewed, we recommend being cautious and critical of the results.

Instruction format

### System: Master in Query Analysis
### Instruction: Organize queries in JSON, adhere to schema, verify spelling.
#### Category: {your_company_category}
#### Schema: ```{filters_schema}```
#### Query: {query}
### Response:

Filters schema is JSON-readable line in the format (we highly recommend you to use it): List of filters (dict):

  • Name - name of filter (better to be meaningful).
  • Representations - list of possible filter formats (dict):
    • Name - name of representation (better to be meaningful).
    • Type - python base type (int, float, str, bool).
    • Examples - list of examples.
    • Enum - if a representation is enumeration, provide a list of possible values, LLM should map parsed value into this list.
    • Pattern - if a representation is pattern-like (datetime, regexp, etc.) provide a pattern text in any format.

Example:

[{"Name": "Customer_Ratings", "Representations": [{"Name": "Exact_Rating", "Type": "float", "Examples": [4.5, 3.2, 5.0, "4.5", "Unstructured"]}, {"Name": "Minimum_Rating", "Type": "float", "Examples": [4.0, 3.0, 5.0, "4.5"]}, {"Name": "Star_Rating", "Type": "int", "Examples": [4, 3, 5], "Enum": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}]}, {"Name": "Date", "Representations": [{"Name": "Day_Month_Year", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["01.01.2024", "15.06.2023", "31.12.2022", "25.12.2021", "20.07.2024", "15.06.2023"], "Pattern": "dd.mm.YYYY"}, {"Name": "Day_Name", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["Monday", "Wednesday", "Friday", "Thursday", "Monday", "Tuesday"], "Enum": ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]}]}, {"Name": "Date_Period", "Representations": [{"Name": "Specific_Period", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["01.01.2024 - 31.01.2024", "01.06.2023 - 30.06.2023", "01.12.2022 - 31.12.2022"], "Pattern": "dd.mm.YYYY - dd.mm.YYYY"}, {"Name": "Month", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["January", "June", "December"], "Enum": ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"]}, {"Name": "Quarter", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3"], "Enum": ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3", "Q4"]}, {"Name": "Season", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["Winter", "Summer", "Autumn"], "Enum": ["Winter", "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn"]}]}, {"Name": "Destination_Country", "Representations": [{"Name": "Country_Name", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["United States", "Germany", "China"]}, {"Name": "Country_Code", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["US", "DE", "CN"]}, {"Name": "Country_Abbreviation", "Type": "str", "Examples": ["USA", "GER", "CHN"]}]}]

As the result, response will be JSON-readable line in the format:

[{"Value": "Corrected search phrase", "Name": "Correct"}, {"Name": "filter-name.representation", "Value": "some-value"}]

Field and representation names will be aligned with the provided schema. Example:

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Bias

Again, this model was fine-tuned for following the zero-shot query parsing instructions. So, all ethical biases are inherited by the original model.

Model was fine-tuned to be able to work with the unknown company domain and filters schema. But, can be better with the training company categories:

Educational Institutions, Job Recruitment Agencies, Banking Services, Investment Services, Insurance Services, Financial Planning and Advisory, Credit Services, Payment Processing, Mortgage and Real Estate Services, Taxation Services, Risk Management and Compliance, Digital and Mobile Banking, Retail Stores (Online and Offline), Automotive Dealerships, Restaurants and Food Delivery Services, Entertainment and Media Platforms, Government Services, Travelers and Consumers, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Customer Support Services, Market Research Firms, Mobile App Development, Game Development, Cloud Computing Services, Data Analytics and Business Intelligence, Cybersecurity Software, User Interface/User Experience Design, Internet of Things (IoT) Development, Project Management Tools, Version Control Systems, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment, Issue Tracking and Bug Reporting, Collaborative Development Environments, Team Communication and Chat Tools, Task and Time Management, Customer Support and Feedback, Cloud-based Development Environments, Image Stock Platforms, Video Hosting and Portals, Social Networks, Professional Social Networks, Dating Apps

Risks and Limitations

Known limitations:

  1. Can add extra spaces or remove spaces: 1-2 -> 1 - 2.
  2. Can add extra words: 5 -> 5 years.
  3. Can not differentiate between <>= and theirs HTML versions &lt;, &gt;, &eq;.
  4. Bad with abbreviations.
  5. Can add extra .0 for floats and integers.
  6. Can add extra 0 or remove 0 for integers with a char postfix: 10M -> 1m.
  7. Can hallucinate with integers. For the case like list of positions exactly 7 openings available result can be {'Name': 'Job_Type.Exact_Match', 'Value': 'Full Time'}.
  8. We fine-tuned this model with max sequence length = 1024, so it may happen that response will not be JSON-readable.

The list will be extended in the future.

Recommendations

  1. We used synthetic data for the first version of this model. So, we suggest you to precisely test this model on your company's domain, even it's in the list.
  2. Use meaningful names for filters and theirs representations.
  3. Provide examples for each representation.
  4. Try to be compact, model was fine-tuned with max sequence length equal 1024.
  5. During the generation use greedy strategy with tempertature 0.05.
  6. The result will be better if you align a filters schema with a schema type of the training data.

Training Details

Training Data

We used synthetically generated query parsing instructions:

  • We generated lists of possible filters for 63 customer categories:
  • Select randomly up-to 150 possible combinations (1-3 filters in each combination) of filters, the way each filter's representation appears maximum twice.
  • For a given category and combination we generated with GPT-4 Turbo:
    • 2 search queries and theirs parsed version with unstructured parts.
    • 2 search queries and theirs parsed version without unstructured part.
  • Using filters, queries and parsed version we prepared 72.5k falcon format instruction

Warning: EmbeddingStudio team aware you that generated queries weren't enough curated, and will be curated later once we finish our product market fit stage.

Principles of train / test splitting

As we are trying to fine-tune LLM to follow zero-shot query parsing instructions, so we want to test:

  • Ability to work well with unseen domain
  • Ability to work well with unseen filters
  • Ability to work well with unseen queries

For these purposes we:

  1. We put into test split 5 categories, completely separared from train: Telecommunication Companies, Legal Services, Enterprise Software Development, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Documentation and Knowledge Sharing.
  2. Also out of each appearing in train company categories, we put aside / removed one filter and queries related to it.
  3. Selected 5% of other queries and put it into test.

Filters generation details

We used GPT-4 Turbo to generate several possible filters for 63 company categroies. For each filter we also generated some possible representations. For examples filter Date can be represented as dd/mm/YYYY, YYYY-mm-dd, as words 2024 Jan 17, etc.

Queries generation details

We also used GPT-4 Turbo for generation of search queries and theirs parsed version. Main principles were:

  • If passed schema doesn't contain possible filter, do not generate query itself or a possible filter
  • If a selected representations combination contains enumeration, so we ask to map values in a search query and a parsed version.
  • If a selected representations combination contains pattern, so we ask GPT-4 Turbo to be aligned with a pattern

Instructions generation details

For the generation instructions we used following ideas:

  1. Zero-Shot query parser should be schema agnostic. Cases like snake_case, CamelCase, http-headers-like should not ruin generation process.

  2. Zero-Shot query parser should be spelling errors insensitive.

  3. Training instructions should be in the following order:

    • Category
    • Schema
    • Query

    So LLM can be used in the following way: just generate embedding of category -> schema part, so inference will be faster.

We assume, that schema agnostic termin means something wider, like to be able to work not only with JSONs, but also with HTML, Markdown, YAML, etc. We are working on it.

So, what was our approach as an attempt to achieve these abilities:

  1. For each query we generated a version with a mistake
  2. Passed to each parsed version an additional field Correct, which contains a corrected version of a search query.
  3. For each query we randomly selected and used a case for schema fields and a case for filter and representation names.
  4. For each query we additionally generated two instuctions:
  • Where did we remove from a provided schema and parsed version one filter
  • Where did we remove from a provided schema and parsed version all related filters

Warning: EmbeddingStudio team ask you to curate datasets on your own precisely.

Metrics

Metric Overview

Our zero-shot search query parsing model is designed to extract structured information from unstructured search queries with high precision. The primary metric for evaluating our model's performance is the True Positive (TP) rate, which is assessed using a specialized token-wise Levenshtein distance. This approach is aligned with our goal to achieve semantic accuracy in parsing user queries.

True Positives (TP)

  • Definition: A True Positive in our model is counted when the model correctly identifies both the 'Name' and 'Value' in a query, matching the expected results.
  • Measurement Method: The TP rate is quantified using the levenshtein_tokenwise function, which calculates the distance between predicted and actual key-value pairs at a token level. We consider a Levenshtein distance of 0.25 or less as acceptable for matching.
  • Importance:
    • Token-Level Accuracy: We use token-wise accuracy over traditional character-level Levenshtein distance, which can be overly strict, especially for minor spelling variations. Our token-wise approach prioritizes semantic accuracy.
    • Relevance to Search Queries: Accuracy at the token level is more indicative of the model's ability to understand and parse user intent in search queries.

Generation Strategy

  • Approach: The model generates responses based on input queries with a maximum token length set to 1000, employing a sampling strategy (do_sample=True), and a low temperature setting of 0.05. This controlled randomness in generation ensures a variety of accurate and relevant responses.
  • Impact on TP:
    • The low temperature setting directly influences the TP rate by reducing the randomness in the model's predictions. With a lower temperature, the model is more likely to choose the most probable word in a given context, leading to more accurate and consistent outputs. This is particularly crucial in search query parsing, where understanding and interpreting user input with high precision is vital.

Additional Metrics

  • False Positives (FP) and False Negatives (FN): These metrics are monitored to provide a comprehensive view of the model's predictive capabilities.
  • Precision, Recall, F1 Score, Accuracy: These standard metrics complement our TP-focused assessment, providing a rounded picture of the model's performance in various aspects.

Motivation for Metric Choice

  • Alignment with User Intent: Focusing on token-wise accuracy ensures the model's performance closely mirrors the structure and intent typical in search queries.
  • Robustness Against Query Variations: This metric approach makes the model adaptable to the varied formulations of real-world search queries.
  • Balancing Precision and Recall: Our method aims to balance the model's ability not to miss relevant key-value pairs (high recall) while not over-identifying irrelevant ones (high precision).
