Model Card for calcformer-t5-xl
This model generates reasoning chains over mathematical questions while using an external tool: Sympy calculator.
Model Description
With the idea to offload the symbolic computation from the stochastic language model, we train this model to utilize a calculator for all applicable numeric operations. This is achieved by training the model to construct calls to the tool's API in this format:
<gadget id="calculator">100/2</gadget> <output>50</output>
where <gadget> segment triggers a call of the tool,
which is subsequently served by extending model's decoder input context by adding the output of the tool within the <output> segment.
- Developed by: Calcformer team
- Model type: Autoregressive Encoder-Decoder
- Language(s): en
- Finetuned from: t5-xl

Usage
Additionally to conventional generation, using Tool-augmented generation requires
(1) implementation of the tool(s) and
(2) a customization of generate() method augmenting input context on-demand with the outputs of the tools.
You can find these two components implemented in the attached gadgets/model.py and gadgets/gadget.py in this model's repo and the project's home repo.
After adding these two scripts to your directory, you can use the model as follows:
from transformers import T5ForConditionalGeneration, T5Tokenizer
from gadgets.model import gadget_assisted_model
from gadgets.gadget import Calculator
GadgetAssistedT5 = gadget_assisted_model(T5ForConditionalGeneration)
model_name = "MU-NLPC/calcformer-t5-xl"
model = GadgetAssistedT5.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model.prepare_for_generate(tokenizer,
enabled_gadgets=[Calculator()],
default_max_tokens=512)
query = """
The profit from a business transaction is shared among 2 business partners,
Mike and Johnson in the ratio 2:5 respectively.
If Johnson got $2500, how much will Mike have
after spending some of his share on a shirt that costs $200?
"""
inputs = tokenizer(query, return_tensors="pt")
output_ids = model.generate(**inputs)
tokenizer.decode(output_ids[0], spaces_between_special_tokens=False)
This returns:
According to the ratio, for every 5 parts that Johnson gets, Mike gets 2 parts Since Johnson got $2500,
each part is therefore $2500/5 = $<gadget id="calculator">2500/5</gadget><output>500</output> 500
Mike will get 2*$500 = $<gadget id="calculator">2*500</gadget><output>1_000</output> 1000
After buying the shirt he will have $1000-$200 = $<gadget id="calculator">1000-200</gadget><output>800</output> 800 left.
Final result is<result>800</result></s>
Out-of-Scope Usage
Note that given the limited scope of the exercises' complexity in the training, this model will not work well for tasks requiring more complex algebraic operations, including equations, variables and operations outside the scope of (+-*/).
Training
This model was trained on Calc-X, a collection of math problem datasets which we converted into CoT with calculator interactions. We used a standard auto-regressive transformer training, i.e. a conditional next-token prediction with cross-entropy loss. For more detail about data, training or evaluation, see the Calc-X and Calcformers paper.
