Mahmoud Abughali’s Post

Today, we explored InstructLab, an innovative technique that simplifies continuous development for base models. InstructLab is named after and based on IBM Research’s work on Large-scale Alignment for chatBots (LAB), described in a 2024 research paper by members of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab and IBM Research. It provides a cost-effective solution for improving the alignment of LLMs and opens the doors for those with minimal machine learning experience to contribute. InstructLab contains a taxonomy tree that allows users to create models tuned with human-provided data, further enhanced through synthetic data generation. Big thanks to our insightful speakers for leading the session: 👏 Manav Gupta 👏 Parsa Mirzaei 👏 Leah Zhang Learn more about InstructLab in the research paper: https://lnkd.in/g4Tf2Abc Explore the code and contribute on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gh7bGDct Check out the tutorial on IBM Developer: https://lnkd.in/g4GP_pDq

The integration of synthetic data generation within InstructLab presents a fascinating avenue for augmenting human-provided datasets. By leveraging techniques like text-to-text generation or reinforcement learning, synthetic data can potentially address the limitations of real-world data, such as bias or scarcity. This raises an intriguing question: how can we effectively evaluate the quality and impact of synthetic data on the alignment of LLMs?
