Introduction

image

This repo provides the official implementation of SuperCorrect a novel two-stage fine-tuning method for improving both reasoning accuracy and self-correction ability for LLMs.

Notably, our SupperCorrect-7B model significantly surpasses powerful DeepSeekMath-7B by 7.8%/5.3% and Qwen2.5-Math-7B by 15.1%/6.3% on MATH/GSM8K benchmarks, achieving new SOTA performance among all 7B models.

🚨 Unlike other LLMs, we incorporate LLMs with our pre-defined hierarchical thought template ([Buffer of Thought (BoT)](https://github.com/YangLing0818/buffer-of-thought-llm)) to conduct more deliberate reasoning than conventional CoT. It should be noted that our evaluation methods relies on pure mathematical reasoning abilities of LLMs, instead of leverage other programming methods such as PoT and ToRA.

Model details

You can check our Github repo for more details.

Quick Start

Requirements

  • Since our current model is based on Qwen2.5-Math series, transformers>=4.37.0 is needed for Qwen2.5-Math models. The latest version is recommended.

🚨 This is a must because `transformers` integrated Qwen2 codes since `4.37.0`.

Inference

🤗 Hugging Face Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "BitStarWalkin/SuperCorrect-7B"
device = "cuda" 

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "Find the distance between the foci of the ellipse \[9x^2 + \frac{y^2}{9} = 99.\]"
hierarchical_prompt = "Solve the following math problem in a step-by-step XML format, each step should be enclosed within tags like <Step1></Step1>. For each step enclosed within the tags, determine if this step is challenging and tricky, if so, add detailed explanation and analysis enclosed within <Key> </Key> in this step, as helpful annotations to help you thinking and remind yourself how to conduct reasoning correctly. After all the reasoning steps, summarize the common solution and reasoning steps to help you and your classmates who are not good at math generalize to similar problems within <Generalized></Generalized>. Finally present the final answer within <Answer> </Answer>."
# HT
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content":hierarchical_prompt },
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=1024
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(response)

Performance

We evaluate our SupperCorrect-7B on two widely used English math benchmarks GSM8K and MATH. All evaluations are tested with our evaluation method which is zero-shot hierarchical thought based prompting.

Acknowledgements

Our SuperCorrect is a two-stage fine-tuning model which based on several extraordinary open-source models like Qwen2.5-Math, DeepSeek-Math, Llama3-Series. Our evaluation method is based on the code base of outstanding works like Qwen2.5-Math and lm-evaluation-harness. We also want to express our gratitude for amazing works such as BoT which provides the idea of thought template.

This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
