This is the code used for creating GermanRAG, a German dataset for finetuning LLMs on Retrieval Augmented Generation tasks (RAG).

• Install the requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Generate germandpr_subset.jsonl with python germandpr.py
• Clone Airoboros, pip install -e . there and copy germandpr_subset.jsonl aswell as config_germanrag.yaml into the root directory.
• Copy airoboros/instructors/germanrag.py and airoboros/instructors/prompts/germanrag.txt from this repo to the respective directories in Airoboros.
• Add from airoboros.instructors.germanrag import generate as germanrag_generator here.
• Add "germanrag": germanrag_generator here.
• Run airoboros generate-instructions --config-path config_germanrag.yaml
• Copy your generated instructions.jsonl back into this repo's root directory.
• Optional: Validate generations with python validate_generations.py.
• Run python germanrag.py to generate the final dataset.

• Choose how to deduplicate/collapse the contexts in GermanDPR, i.e. on shortest, longest, first/random answer span.
• Fix function for three sentence context window.
• Experimental/Optional: Finish choping and mixing of contexts on chunk level.
• Add (true) negatives beyond hard negatives, by pairing with random/dissimilar contexts.
• Generalize to more datasets in SQuAD format.

• The GermanRAG dataset is derived from GermanDPR, see 'Acknowledgments' in the dataset card.
• Airoboros by Jon Durbin, consider giving a tip ;)
