SLIM-SA-NER-3B
slim-sa-ner-3b combines two of the most popular traditional classifier functions (Sentiment Analysis and Named Entity Recognition), and reimagines them as function calls on a specialized decoder-based LLM, generating output consisting of a python dictionary with keys corresponding to sentiment, and NER identifiers, such as people, organization, and place, e.g.:
{'sentiment': ['positive'], people': ['..'], 'organization': ['..'],'place': ['..]}
This 'combo' model is designed to illustrate the potential power of using function calls on small, specialized models to enable a single model architecture to combine the capabilities of what were traditionally two separate model architectures on an encoder.
The intent of SLIMs is to forge a middle-ground between traditional encoder-based classifiers and open-ended API-based LLMs, providing an intuitive, flexible natural language response, without complex prompting, and with improved generalization and ability to fine-tune to a specific domain use case.
This model is fine-tuned on top of llmware/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0, which in turn, is a fine-tune of stabilityai/stablelm-3b-4elt.
Each slim model has a 'quantized tool' version, e.g., 'slim-sa-ner-3b-tool'.
