CAPPr performs text classification. No training. No post-processing. **Just have your
LLM pick from a list of choices.** Or compute the probability of a completion given a
prompt. Squeeze more out of open source LLMs.


## Usage

<details>
<summary>Use a model from the OpenAI API</summary>

Specifically, this model must be compatible with the
[/v1/completions](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/model-endpoint-compatibility)
endpoint.

```python
from cappr.openai.classify import predict

prompt = """
Tweet about a movie: "Oppenheimer was pretty good. But 3 hrs...cmon Nolan."
This tweet contains the following criticism:
""".strip("\n")

completions = ("bad message", "too long", "unfunny")

pred = predict(prompt, completions, model="text-ada-001")
print(pred)
# 'too long'
```

Notice that the completions can contain many tokens.
</details>


<details>
<summary>Extract the final answer from a step-by-step completion</summary>

Step-by-step and chain-of-thought prompts are highly effective ways to get an LLM to
"reason" about more complex tasks. But if you need a structured output, a step-by-step
completion is unwieldy. Use CAPPr to extract the final answer from these types of
completions, given a list of possible answers.

See this idea in action [here in the
docs](https://cappr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/select_a_prompt_completion_format.html#wrangle-step-by-step-completions).
CAPPr is **100% guaranteed** to return an output from the list of answers.
</details>


<details>
<summary>Use a model from the HuggingFace model hub</summary>

Specifically, this model must be able to be loaded using
`transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained`.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from cappr.huggingface.classify import predict

# Load a model and its corresponding tokenizer
model_name = "gpt2"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "Which planet is closer to the Sun: Mercury or Earth?"
completions = ("Mercury", "Earth")

pred = predict(prompt, completions, model_and_tokenizer=(model, tokenizer))
print(pred)
# 'Mercury'
```

For an example with Llama 2, see the notebook
[`demos/llama2/copa.ipynb`](https://github.com/kddubey/cappr/blob/main/demos/llama2/copa.ipynb).
So far, CAPPr has been tested for correctness on the following architectures:
- GPT-2
- GPT-J
- GPT-NeoX (including StableLM, and its tuned/instruct and GPTQd versions)
- Llama
- Llama 2 (chat, raw, and its GPTQd versions)
- Mistral.

Raise an issue to lmk that you don't see your architecture on this list.

<details>
<summary>Use an AutoGPTQ model</summary>

[`cappr.huggingface`](https://cappr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cappr.huggingface.html)
seems to work fine with models loaded via
[`auto_gptq.AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized`](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ).
But I haven't thoroughly tested that. See [this
notebook](https://github.com/kddubey/cappr/blob/main/demos/auto_gptq.ipynb) for a demo.

</details>


<details>
<summary>Run in batches</summary>

Also, let's predict probabilities instead of the class.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from cappr.huggingface.classify import predict_proba

# Load a model and its corresponding tokenizer
model_name = "gpt2"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompts = [
    "Stephen Curry is a",
    "Martina Navratilova was a",
    "Dexter, from the TV Series Dexter's Laboratory, is a",
    "LeBron James is a",
]

# Each of the prompts could be completed with one of these:
class_names = ("basketball player", "tennis player", "scientist")
prior =       (      1/6,                1/6,            2/3    )
# Say I expect most of my data to have scientists

# Run CAPPr
pred_probs = predict_proba(
    prompts=prompts,
    completions=class_names,
    model_and_tokenizer=(model, tokenizer),
    batch_size=32,  # whatever fits on your CPU/GPU
    prior=prior,
)

# pred_probs[i,j] = probability that prompts[i] is classified as class_names[j]
print(pred_probs.round(1))
# [[0.5 0.3 0.2]
#  [0.3 0.6 0.2]
#  [0.1 0.1 0.8]
#  [0.8 0.2 0. ]]

# For each prompt, which completion is most likely?
pred_class_idxs = pred_probs.argmax(axis=-1)
preds = [class_names[pred_class_idx] for pred_class_idx in pred_class_idxs]
print(preds)
# ['basketball player',
#  'tennis player',
#  'scientist',
#  'basketball player']
```
</details>


<details>
<summary>Run in batches, where each prompt has a different set of possible completions
</summary>

Again, let's use `cappr.huggingface` to predict probabilities.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from cappr.huggingface.classify import predict_proba_examples
from cappr import Example

# Load a model and its corresponding tokenizer
model_name = "gpt2"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Create a sequence of Example objects representing your classification tasks
examples = [
    Example(
        prompt="Jodie Foster played",
        completions=("Clarice Starling", "Trinity in The Matrix"),
    ),
    Example(
        prompt="Batman, from Batman: The Animated Series, was played by",
        completions=("Pete Holmes", "Kevin Conroy", "Spongebob!"),
        prior=      (     1/3      ,      2/3     ,      0      ),
    ),
]

# Run CAPPr
pred_probs = predict_proba_examples(examples, model_and_tokenizer=(model, tokenizer))

# pred_probs[i][j] = probability that examples[i].prompt is classified as
# examples[i].completions[j]
print([example_pred_probs.round(2) for example_pred_probs in pred_probs])
# [array([0.7, 0.3]),
#  array([0.03, 0.97, 0.  ])]

# For each example, which completion is most likely?
pred_class_idxs = [example_pred_probs.argmax() for example_pred_probs in pred_probs]
preds = [
    example.completions[pred_class_idx]
    for example, pred_class_idx in zip(examples, pred_class_idxs)
]
print(preds)
# ['Clarice Starling',
#  'Kevin Conroy']
```
</details>

for a demonstration of a slightly harder classification task.


## Documentation

https://cappr.readthedocs.io


## Installation

To use HuggingFace models:

```
pip install "cappr[hf]"
```

Or, to use OpenAI models, [sign up](https://platform.openai.com/signup) for the OpenAI
API, set the environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`, and then

```
pip install cappr
```

(Optional) Install requirements for running the repo's
[`demos`](https://github.com/kddubey/cappr/tree/main/demos)

```
pip install "cappr[demos]"
```


## Motivation

Minimize engineering complexity.

Current approaches, based on generating text, require the following workflow:
1. Design a prompt which asks the model to output exactly one choice from a given set of
   choices
2. Given this prompt, figure out how often the model doesn't output one of the given
   choices—call this an "invalid" output
3. Figure out how to post-processes invalid outputs, depending on the way they look. Or
   give up, and figure out how to get your application to gracefully fail on an invalid
   output
4. Figure out if you need to tweak the text generation strategy, loop back to step (2).

This workflow is not scalable, and not necessary. CAPPr is guaranteed to output exactly
one choice from a given set of choices. As a result, your work is reduced to designing a
prompt-completion string format.

For HuggingFace models, see

- the 4 GB [Llama 2 COPA
  demo](https://github.com/kddubey/cappr/blob/main/demos/llama2/copa.ipynb)
- and this (minimal but surprising) 3 GB [StableLM
  demo](https://github.com/kddubey/cappr/blob/main/demos/auto_gptq.ipynb).

I'll evaluate Llama 2 or Mistral 7B on a few more datasets.

## How it works

You input a `prompt` string, a `end_of_prompt` string (a whitespace or empty) and a set
of candidate `completion` strings such that the string—

```python
{prompt}{end_of_prompt}{completion}
```

—is a naturally flowing thought. CAPPr picks the `completion` which is mostly likely to
follow `prompt` by computing the:

> **C**ompletion<br>
  **A**fter<br>
  **P**rompt<br>
  **Pr**obability<br>

The method is fleshed out in my [question on Cross
Validated](https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/601159/337906).

## Local development

### Setup

1. Create a new Python 3.8+ virtual environment. Activate the venv. I use
   [`virtualenvwrapper`](https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). For this
   example, let's create a virtual environment called `cappr`
   using Python's native `venv`:

   ```bash
   cd your/venvs

   python3 -m venv cappr

   source cappr/bin/activate

   python -m pip install wheel --upgrade pip
   ```

2. `cd` to wherever you store projects, and clone the repo (or fork it and clone that)
   there

    ```bash
    cd your/projects

    git clone https://github.com/kddubey/cappr.git
    ```

3. `cd` to the repo and install this package in editable mode, along with development
   requirements (after ensuring that your venv is activated!)

   ```
   cd cappr

   python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
   ```

### VS code extensions for development

  * [autoDocstring](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=njpwerner.autodocstring).
  Use the numpy format, and check "Start On New Line".
  * Set Python formatting to `black`.
  * [Rewrap](https://stkb.github.io/Rewrap/). Enable Auto Wrap.

And set the vertical line ruler to 88.

### Testing

From the repo home directory `cappr`:

```
pytest
```

Note that a few small transformers and tokenizers will be downloaded to your computer.

Sometimes I get paranoid about bigger code changes. So consider additionally testing
statistical performance by running an appropriate demo in
[`demos`](https://github.com/kddubey/cappr/tree/main/demos).

### Docs

To test changes to documentation, first locally build them from the repo home directory
`cappr` via

```
cd docs

make html
```

and then preview them by opening `docs/build/html/index.html` in your browser.

After merging code to main, the official docs will be automatically built and published.

### Release

[Bump the
version](https://github.com/kddubey/cappr/commit/d1f7dd51fa702c123bdfb0bcb97535995641c224),
and then create a new release on GitHub. A new version of the package will then be
automatically published on PyPI.
