To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1.pip install torch==2.4.0 torchvision==0.19.0 torchaudio==2.4.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118 --force-reinstall
2.pip install -e .
3.cd scripts/train
4. composer train.py finetune_example/gpt2-arc-easy--cpu.yaml
It gives the following error when run on cpu : omegaconf.errors.InterpolationKeyError: Interpolation key 'global_seed' not found
5. composer train.py finetune_example/mpt-7b-arc-easy--gpu.yaml
It gives the following error when run on gpu: ValueError: Unused parameters ['global_seed'] found in cfg. Please check your yaml to ensure these parameters are necessary. Please place any variables under the variables key.
When run on gpu:

Expected behavior

The fine-tuning should work

Additional context

[LalchandPandia]

It is resolved. In the yaml file change ${global_seed} to ${variables.global_seed}

Hi, thanks for the issue! Happy to accept a PR fixing this if you like, otherwise we will update it!

[LalchandPandia]

Hi,
Either way is fine. Would it be possible to update the README to include flash-attention (does it require alibi) version required to run the fine-tuning GPU example along with the fix?

[LalchandPandia]

A follow-up on the task. I can see that the input id is of the form: id(Question): - id(Options) -\n\n... \n id(Answer): . And label contains -100 for all the entries followed by the id of tokens in true answer, and then all other entries are filled with id of . My question is how do we compare the performance of the model? Do we create similar input for each of the other options where Answer is followed by id of the other options and finally compare the log-likelihood of each of the these with the log-likelihood of the input with true answer.
For example, Q1 Answer: True_Answer--->L1
Q1 Answer: Option1-->L2
Q1 Answer: Option2 -->L3
And now we compare L1, L2 and L3 to see how model does on evaluation. Here L1, L2, L3 are negative log-likelihood

[dakinggg]

Hi, yes, the multiple choice ICL tasks in LLM Foundry do evaluation the way you described.

[LalchandPandia]

Thanks for confirming that. Just a suggestion regarding the README in scripts/eval section. It will be a good to have a section where it is described how under the hood data processing happens when executing composer eval.py. The description present scripts/train/finetune_example/README.md about composer train.py is quite helpful.

Wondering, does this readme help? Or still missing the information you are looking for?
