How to Finetune a LLM for Multiple Choice Questions

Hey there! So, you wanna know how to finetune a big ol’ language model for multiple choice questions, huh? Well, get ready cause this is gonna be a wild ride. Imagine you’re teaching a super smart robot how to ace a quiz, but like, the robot keeps thinking cheeseburgers are answers. It’s gonna be both funny and a bit messy. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Find Your Model
First things first. You gotta pick your model. Think of it like choosing the coolest dog at the park. Some models are like tiny chihuahuas and some are big fluffy golden retrievers. But remember, bigger isn’t always better unless we’re talking about pizza slices, then yes! Look for something named GPT or BERT. Honestly just don’t choose anything called “The Cat Whisperer,” cause that’s not what we want here.

Step 2: Collect Your Questions
Now you need questions for the robot to learn from. Get some multiple choice questions that make sense like “What’s the capital of France?” or “Which animal has stripes?” You can find these on quiz websites or ask your friends who love trivia—except don’t ask your friend Jeff. He thinks cats are aliens.

Step 3: Data Formatting… Ugh
Okay, so now you gotta format your data nicely. Like when you’re trying to make your bed all pretty but end up fighting with the blankets instead? Yeah, it’s kinda like that but more digital. Each question should go something like this: “What color is the sky?” with choices A) Blue B) Red C) Cheese D) Unicorns. And you wanna keep track of right answers too just so our future robot doesn’t end up screaming “CHEESE” every time.

Step 4: Teach and Repeat
So now the fun part begins! You feed your model these formatted questions over and over again until it understands what’s right and wrong—kinda like teaching a kid who thinks vegetables are gross but pizza is life! Use techniques called “epochs” which means taking multiple trips around learning-land until they finally say “Ohhhh now I get it!” But honestly, don’t expect them to actually eat broccoli even after all that.

Step 5: The Fun Of Testing
Now it’s time for testing! This part is like giving your pet a trick test—you know they can do it if they try! Throw new questions at them and see how many times they flub it up—like saying cats can fly or unicorns actually exist (not yet anyways). If they get most right then yay! If not, tweak their settings—kinda like turning down the heat before grandma makes her cookies burn.

Step 6: Add Humor? Why Not
You could also add some humor in there cause who doesn’t love a giggle? Maybe throw in some silly options for answers every now and then – you know “Is Earth flat? A) Yes B) No C) Pizza D) I’m confused.” Just imagine if our precious model starts spitting out nonsense answers about cheese or flying turtles—it’ll be hilarious!

Step 7: Launch That Bad Boy
Finally dude it’s launch time!! Let that LLM loose on those MCQs. Watch as it either nails every answer or turns into a meme factory spitting out ridiculous responses like “The answer is banana.” And hey whatever happens next just remember—you created this quirky little quiz-taker!

Fun FAQ Section

Question: Can I use my pet’s name as an LLM name?
Answer: Sure why not! Just explain to them they’re not actually becoming sentient… unless they want to take the test too!

Question: How long does this take?
Answer: Longer than waiting for your microwave popcorn to pop but shorter than waiting for school to end… usually!

Question: Will my LLM understand dad jokes?
Answer: Only if you teach it well but let’s be honest—dad jokes are universal torture.

Question: What if my robot fails every question?
Answer: Well… don’t worry humans have bad hair days too… plus maybe try feeding it more cheese?

Question: Do I need coding skills for this stuff?
Answer: Kinda yeah… but remember google is your best buddy when it comes to figuring things out!

Question: Can I make my LLM specialize in cat trivia?
Answer: Absolutely! Just feed it all those random feline facts till its paws tingle with excitement.

Question: Will my friends think I’m crazy doing this?
Answer: Probably yes—but in an awesome way where you’re known as “The Quiz Master”!

And that’s all folks! Now go forth and finetune that model while giggling about cheese answers till you’re satisfied!!
