DCS-StarCoder2-7B-It-MNTP

📖 Are Decoder-Only Large Language Models the Silver Bullet for Code Search?

This model is an official artifact from our research paper: "Are Decoder-Only Large Language Models the Silver Bullet for Code Search?".

In this work, we conduct a large-scale systematic evaluation of decoder-only Large Language Models for the task of code search and present a set of effective fine-tuning and optimization strategies.

Model Card: CodeGemma-7B - MNTP Pre-trained Model

📜 Model Description

This is a PEFT adapter for the bigcode/starcoder2-7b model, pre-trained with the Masked Next Token Prediction (MNTP) objective from the llm2vec framework.

Important Note on its Role: This model is not intended for direct downstream task evaluation. Instead, it serves as a crucial foundational prerequisite for our supervised fine-tuned (SupCon) models. The MNTP pre-training enables the decoder-only model to learn bidirectional representations, which is an essential step before applying supervised contrastive learning.

🚀 How to Use

Standalone Use (for Base Embeddings)

You can also use this MNTP model by itself to generate text or code embeddings.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel, AutoConfig
from peft import PeftModel
from llm2vec import LLM2Vec

base_model_id = "bigcode/starcoder2-7b"
mntp_model_id = "SYSUSELab/DCS-StarCoder2-7B-It-MNTP"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base_model_id)
config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(base_model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(base_model_id, trust_remote_code=True, config=config, 
                                  torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, mntp_model_id)

l2v = LLM2Vec(model, tokenizer, pooling_mode="mean", max_length=512)
embeddings = l2v.encode(["def hello_world():\n    print('Hello, World!')"])
print("Embedding from MNTP model:", embeddings.shape)

⚙️ Training Methodology

This model was pre-trained using the MNTP objective as described in the llm2vec paper. If you wish to train your own MNTP model from scratch, please refer to the instructions in the Fine-tuning/Fine-tuning_method/MNTP/ directory of our GitHub repository.
