TimeLlama-7b

TimeLlama

TimeLlama is an instruction-finetuned Llama2 series that improves complex temporal reasoning ability.

Model Details

Model Description

In this work, we introduce the first multi-source dataset for explainable temporal reasoning, called ExpTime. The dataset contains 26k examples derived from temporal knowledge graph datasets. Each example includes a context with multiple events, a future event to predict, and an explanation for the prediction in the form of temporal reasoning over the events.

To generate the dataset, we propose a novel knowledge-graph-instructed-generation strategy. The dataset supports the comprehensive evaluation of large language models on complex temporal reasoning, future event prediction, and explainability.

Based on ExpTime, we develop TimeLlaMA, a series of LLM models fine-tuned for explainable temporal reasoning. TimeLlaMA builds on the foundation LLM LLaMA-2 and utilizes instruction tuning to follow prompts for making explanations.
