Customize your workflow using the `fmeval` library

You can customize your model evaluation to allow for a model that is not a JumpStart or Amazon Bedrock model or use a custom workflow for evaluation. If you use your own model, you have to create a custom ModelRunner. If you use your own dataset for evaluation, you must configure a DataConfig object. The following section shows how to format your input dataset, customize a DataConfig object to use your custom dataset, and create a custom ModelRunner.

If you want to use your own dataset to evaluate your model, you must use a DataConfig object to specify the dataset_name and the dataset_uri of the dataset that you want to evaluate. If you use a built-in dataset, the DataConfig object is already configured as the default for evaluation algorithms.

You can use one custom dataset every time you use the evaluate function. You can invoke evaluate any number of times to use any number of datasets that you want.

Configure a custom dataset with your model request specified in the question column, and the target answer specified in the column answer, as follows:


from fmeval.data_loaders.data_config import DataConfig
from fmeval.constants import MIME_TYPE_JSONLINES

config = DataConfig(
dataset_name="tiny_dataset",
dataset_uri="tiny_dataset.jsonl",
dataset_mime_type=MIME_TYPE_JSONLINES,
model_input_location="question",
target_output_location="answer",
)

The DataConfig class contains the following parameters:

dataset_name – The name of the dataset that you want to use to evaluate your LLM.

dataset_uri – The local path or uniform resource identifier (URI) to the S3 location of your dataset.
dataset_mime_type – The format of the input data that you want to use to evaluate your LLM. The FMEval library can support both MIME_TYPE_JSON and MIME_TYPE_JSONLINES.
model_input_location – (Optional) The name of the column in your dataset that contains the model inputs or prompts that you want to evaluate.

Use a model_input_location that specifies the name of your column. The column must contain the following values corresponding to the following associated tasks:
- For open-ended generation, toxicity, and accuracy evaluations, specify the column that contains the prompt that your model should respond to.
- For a question answering task, specify the column that contains the question that your model should generate a response to.
- For a text summarization task, specify the name of the column that contains the text that you want your model to summarize.
- For a classification task, specify the name of the column that contains the text that you want your model to classify.
- For a factual knowledge evaluations, specify the name of the column that contains the question that you want the model to predict the answer to.
- For semantic robustness evaluations, specify the name of the column that contains the input that you want your model to perturb.
- For prompt stereotyping evaluations, use the sent_more_input_location and sent_less_input_location instead of model_input_location, as shown in the following parameters.
model_output_location – (Optional) The name of the column in your dataset that contains the predicted output that you want to compare against the reference output that is contained in target_output_location. If you provide model_output_location, then FMEval won't send a request to your model for inference. Instead, it uses the output contained in the specified column to evaluate your model.
target_output_location– The name of the column in the reference dataset that contains the true value to compare against the predicted value that is contained in model_output_location. Required only for factual knowledge, accuracy, and semantic robustness. For factual knowledge, each row in this column should contain all possible answers separated by a delimiter. For example, if the answers for a question are [“UK”,“England”], then the column should contain “UK<OR>England”. The model prediction is correct if it contains any of the answers separated by the delimiter.
category_location – The name of the column that contains the name of a category. If you provide a value for category_location, then scores are aggregated and reported for each category.
sent_more_input_location – The name of the column that contains a prompt with more bias. Required only for prompt stereotyping. Avoid unconscious bias. For bias examples, see the CrowS-Pairs dataset.
sent_less_input_location – The name of the column that contains a prompt with less bias. Required only for prompt stereotyping. Avoid unconscious bias. For bias examples, see the CrowS-Pairs dataset.
sent_more_output_location – (Optional) The name of the column that contains a predicted probability that your model’s generated response will contain more bias. This parameter is only used in prompt stereotyping tasks.
sent_less_output_location – (Optional) The name of the column that contains a predicted probability that your model’s generated response will contain less bias. This parameter is only used in prompt stereotyping tasks.

If you want to add a new attribute that corresponds to a dataset column to the DataConfig class, you must add the suffix _location to the end of the attribute name.

To evaluate a custom model, use a base data class to configure your model and create a custom ModelRunner. Then, you can use this ModelRunner to evaluate any language model. Use the following steps to define a model configuration, create a custom ModelRunner, and test it.

The ModelRunner interface has one abstract method as follows:


def predict(self, prompt: str) → Tuple[Optional[str], Optional[float]]

This method takes in a prompt as a string input, and returns a Tuple containing a model text response and an input log probability. Every ModelRunner must implement a predict method.

Create a custom `ModelRunner`

Define a model configuration.

The following code example shows how to apply a dataclass decorator to a custom HFModelConfig class so that you can define a model configuration for a Hugging Face model:
```
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class HFModelConfig:
model_name: str
max_new_tokens: int
seed: int = 0
remove_prompt_from_generated_text: bool = True
```
In the previous code example, the following applies:
- The parameter max_new_tokens is used to limit the length of the response by limiting the number of tokens returned by an LLM. The type of model is set by passing a value for model_name when the class is instantiated. In this example, the model name is set to gpt2, as shown in the end of this section. The parameter max_new_tokens is one option to configure text generation strategies using a gpt2 model configuration for a pre-trained OpenAI GPT model. See AutoConfig for other model types.
- If the parameter remove_prompt_from_generated_text is set to True, then the generated response won't contain the originating prompt sent in the request.
For other text generation parameters, see the Hugging Face documentation for GenerationConfig.
Create a custom ModelRunner and implement a predict method. The following code example shows how to create a custom ModelRunner for a Hugging Face model using the HFModelConfig class created in the previous code example.
```
from typing import Tuple, Optional
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from fmeval.model_runners.model_runner import ModelRunner

class HuggingFaceCausalLLMModelRunner(ModelRunner):
def __init__(self, model_config: HFModelConfig):
    self.config = model_config
    self.model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(self.config.model_name)
    self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(self.config.model_name)

def predict(self, prompt: str) -> Tuple[Optional[str], Optional[float]]:
    input_ids = self.tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(self.model.device)
    generations = self.model.generate(
        **input_ids,
        max_new_tokens=self.config.max_new_tokens,
        pad_token_id=self.tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    )
    generation_contains_input = (
        input_ids["input_ids"][0] == generations[0][: input_ids["input_ids"].shape[1]]
    ).all()
    if self.config.remove_prompt_from_generated_text and not generation_contains_input:
        warnings.warn(
            "Your model does not return the prompt as part of its generations. "
            "`remove_prompt_from_generated_text` does nothing."
        )
    if self.config.remove_prompt_from_generated_text and generation_contains_input:
        output = self.tokenizer.batch_decode(generations[:, input_ids["input_ids"].shape[1] :])[0]
    else:
        output = self.tokenizer.batch_decode(generations, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

    with torch.inference_mode():
        input_ids = self.tokenizer(self.tokenizer.bos_token + prompt, return_tensors="pt")["input_ids"]
        model_output = self.model(input_ids, labels=input_ids)
        probability = -model_output[0].item()

    return output, probability
```
The previous code uses a custom HuggingFaceCausalLLMModelRunner class that inherits properties from the FMEval ModelRunner class. The custom class contains a constructor and a definition for a predict function, which returns a Tuple.

For more ModelRunner examples, see the model_runner section of the fmeval library.

The HuggingFaceCausalLLMModelRunner constructor contains the following definitions:
- The configuration is set to HFModelConfig, defined in the beginning of this section.
- The model is set to a pre-trained model from the Hugging Face Auto Class that is specified using the model_name parameter upon instantiation.
- The tokenizer is set to a class from the Hugging Face tokenizer library that matches the pre-trained model specified by model_name.
The predict method in the HuggingFaceCausalLLMModelRunner class uses the following definitions:
- input_ids – A variable that contains input for your model. The model generates the input as follows.
  - A tokenizer Converts the request contained in prompt into token identifiers (IDs). These token IDs, which are numerical values that represent a specific token (word, sub-word or character), can be used directly by your model as input. The token IDs are returned as a PyTorch tensor objects, as specified by return_tensors="pt". For other types of return tensor types, see the Hugging Face documentation for apply_chat_template.
  - Token IDs are sent to a device where the model is located so that they can be used by the model.
- generations – A variable that contains the response generated by your LLM. The model’s generate function uses the following inputs to generate the response:
  - The input_ids from the previous step.
  - The parameter max_new_tokens specified in HFModelConfig.
  - A pad_token_id adds an end of sentence (eos) token to the response. For other tokens that you can use, see the Hugging Face documentation for PreTrainedTokenizer.
- generation_contains_input – A boolean variable that returns True when the generated response includes the input prompt in its response, and False otherwise. The return value is calculated using an element-wise comparison between the following.
  - All of the token IDs in the input prompt that are contained in input_ids["input_ids"][0].
  - The beginning of the generated content that is contained in generations[0][: input_ids["input_ids"].shape[1]].
  The predict method returns a warning if you directed the LLM to remove_prompt_from_generated_text in your configuration but the generated response doesn’t contain the input prompt.
  
  The output from the predict method contains a string returned by the batch_decode method, which converts token IDs returned in the response into human readable text. If you specified remove_prompt_from_generated_text as True, then the input prompt is removed from the generated text. If you specified remove_prompt_from_generated_text as False, the generated text will be returned without any special tokens that you included in the dictionary special_token_dict, as specified by skip_special_tokens=True.
Test your ModelRunner. Send a sample request to your model.

The following example shows how to test a model using the gpt2 pre-trained model from the Hugging Face AutoConfig class:
```
hf_config = HFModelConfig(model_name="gpt2", max_new_tokens=32)
model = HuggingFaceCausalLLMModelRunner(model_config=hf_config)
```
In the previous code example, model_name specifies the name of the pre-trained model. The HFModelConfig class is instantiated as hf_config with a value for the parameter max_new_tokens, and used to initialize ModelRunner.

If you want to use another pre-trained model from Hugging Face, choose a pretrained_model_name_or_path in from_pretrained under AutoClass.

Lastly, test your ModelRunner. Send a sample request to your model as shown in the following code example:
```
model_output = model.predict("London is the capital of?")[0]
print(model_output)
eval_algo.evaluate_sample()
```
