Improving the Capabilities of Large Language Model based Marketing Analytics ...IJCI JOURNAL
Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely deployed to solve problems related to marketing attribution and budget optimization. However, AI models can be quite complex, and it can be difficult to understand model workings and insights without extensive implementation teams. In principle, recently developed large language models (LLMs), like GPT-4, can be deployed to provide marketing insights, reducing the time and effort required to make critical decisions. In practice, there are substantial challenges that need to be overcome to reliably use such models. We focus on domain-specific question-answering, SQL generation needed for data retrieval, and tabular analysis and show how a combination of semantic search, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning can be applied to dramatically improve the ability of LLMs to execute these tasks accurately. We compare both proprietary models, like GPT-4, and open-source models, like Llama-2-70b, as well as various embedding methods. These models are tested on sample use cases specific to marketing mix modeling and attribution.

Train foundation model for domain-specific language model
1. HOW TO TRAIN AN OPEN
SOURCE FOUNDATION MODEL
INTO A DOMAINSPECIFIC LLM?
Talk to our Consultant
Listen to the article
In the fast-paced world of corporate environments, technological innovations
have always been a catalyst, driving business growth with remarkable
velocity. One such technological advancement that has lately become a
talking point and brought about a paradigm shift is generative AI. Today,
2. every industry is being profoundly in몭uenced by generative AI, which has
heralded the dawn of a new era de몭ned by the widespread use of Large
Language Models (LLMs). Corporate entities across diverse sectors are
increasingly recognizing the immense potential of customized large language
models to enhance their business operations in unprecedented ways.
Businesses are progressively pivoting away from generic, universal models
due to growing needs for enhanced control, greater data privacy, and cost-
e몭cient methodologies. As organizations increasingly leverage the power of
customization, they open the doors to a world where intelligent systems
stand poised to revolutionize everything from innovation and e몭ciency to
the very core of their operational processes.
While general-purpose LLMs are trained on large and diverse datasets,
domain-speci몭c LLMs are speci몭cally designed for a particular domain and
trained on exclusive datasets that cater to an organization’s speci몭c
requirements. General-purpose LLMs can be useful for many businesses but
domain-speci몭c LLMs are more suitable for situations that require accurate
and contextually appropriate outputs within a speci몭c domain. These
models, which often outperform extensive models like GPT-3.5 that serve as
the basis for ChatGPT, are highly targeted and potentially more e몭cient.
This signi몭cant change is further propelled by the availability of numerous
open-source foundation models, making it feasible for businesses to craft
their personalized LLMs to meet their unique demands and achieve optimal
results.
Domain-speci몭c LLMs are witnessing widespread adoption as they can adapt
to speci몭c requirements, utilize available resources more e몭ciently, and
deliver powerful language processing capabilities that address speci몭c
challenges and tasks. They are poised to bring about a new era of advanced
language processing solutions with enhanced adaptability, resourcefulness,
and potency.
This article provides detailed insights into domain-speci몭c LLMs, covering
3. aspects like their bene몭ts, challenges involved in their development and how
to create an industry-speci몭c LLM, leveraging the potential of an open-source
foundation model. All this will help you understand the intricacies of this
fascinating progression in AI.

The term “Foundation Models” was put forward by Stanford researchers to
describe a new breed of machine learning models. Rather than being
4. designed for a speci몭c task such as image recognition, these models are
trained on extensive, diverse datasets using self-supervised learning at scale,
allowing them to be 몭ne-tuned for various downstream tasks.
Contrary to what the name might suggest, Foundation Models (FMs) are not
the bedrock of AI, nor are they suggestive of AGI (Arti몭cial General
Intelligence). These models are unique and remarkable in their own right,
characterized by 몭ve main traits:
1. Pre-training: FMs are pre-trained with vast data and substantial computing
power, making them ready for use without further training.
2. Generalization: Unlike traditional AI models, which are task-speci몭c, FMs
are versatile, and designed to tackle numerous tasks.
3. Adaptability: FMs are adjustable through prompting, meaning they
respond to user-de몭ned inputs like text.
4. Large-scale: FMs are large in both model size and data size. For instance,
GPT-3 boasts 175 billion parameters and was trained on approximately
500,000 million words.
5. Self-supervision: FMs learn from data patterns without explicit labels.
Prominent examples of FMs include GPT-3 and DALL-E-2. These models
enable everyday users and non-developers to carry out remarkable tasks by
providing simple “prompts.”
Once trained, FMs can manage a plethora of data types and tasks, making
them highly adaptable. They can automate complex work몭ows when paired
with an appropriate operational chain. Beyond generating content such as
text, images, audio, and video, FMs can also be employed for prediction and
classi몭cation tasks, a concept known as discriminative modeling.
FMs have initiated a transformative era in knowledge work, fostering
improvements in language-related tasks, reasoning, search, and computer
vision, especially when combined with other machine learning approaches
like Reinforced Learning with Human Feedback. The development of multi-
5. modal FMs, such as CLIP and ViLBERT, is underway, and these models could
signi몭cantly enhance robotics. By using approaches such as few-shot
learning and domain specialization, FMs can address a multitude of
challenges.
Despite their remarkable potential, FMs do have their limitations. These
include fabricating answers (known as hallucination), issues with temporal
shifting or continual adaptation, the requirement of large data sets and
considerable computing resources for training, and the need for human
evaluation for 몭ne-tuning. Other hurdles include the tension between
specialization and diversity in FM training data, uncertainty about optimal
adaptation methods, and limited understanding of the model’s inner
workings: what a model can do, why it produces certain behaviors, and how
it accomplishes this.

What are LLMs?
Large Language Models (LLMs) represent a subclass of Foundation Models
designed to comprehend and generate text. By ingesting immense amounts
of textual data and boasting billions of parameters, these models can
perform a variety of tasks based on a user-provided prompt. Functions we
encounter daily, such as autocomplete in search engines or Smart Compose
in email platforms, are real-world applications of these language models.
They excel at predicting the most likely subsequent word or phrase based on
6. the provided text.
To understand LLMs, we should recognize that they are built upon advanced
neural networks known as transformers. These transformers extract
patterns from vast amounts of text data, ranging from strings to numbers to
code. It is worth noting that the creation and utilization of LLMs involve
substantial hurdles: massive datasets, considerable computational power,
and specialized skills are prerequisites for training, 몭ne-tuning, and
extracting insights from these models. This explains why only a few models,
like BERT and GPT-3, are readily accessible and why many models remain
closed-source.
LLMs should not be con몭ated with Arti몭cial General Intelligence (AGI) despite
their potential. Current LLMs don’t inherently comprehend concepts and
abstractions. They have limitations but are still the most e몭ective tools in
Natural Language Processing (NLP) for a broad range of tasks. Their potential
applications span from coding to assisting with task completion to
composing coherent and engaging narratives.
The output of an LLM typically undergoes rigorous 몭ltering before a response
is generated. This process is integral to ensuring the generated content is
factual and safe, which is crucial considering the risks associated with these
models. As businesses aim to leverage LLMs for speci몭c products or systems,
a high degree of oversight and governance becomes essential.
The historical journey of LLMs can be traced back to the early 2010s. Initially,
transfer learning with annotated or labeled data was a prevalent practice.
However, this approach was costly, challenging to implement consistently,
and posed privacy concerns. The advent of transformer-based models
around 2017 marked a signi몭cant stride, with models like GPT-3 and ChatGPT
making their debut and gaining swift popularity.
In the post-ChatGPT world, LLMs continually show promise for various
applications. They can explain complex subjects in simple terms, translate
languages, generate creative content, brainstorm, assist with online tasks,
7. languages, generate creative content, brainstorm, assist with online tasks,
provide customer service, and even perform technical functions. However,
they are not without 몭aws. The reliability of answers and the risk of
fabricated responses, often referred to as “model hallucination,” highlight the
need for further re몭nement of these models.
Thus, while LLMs have transformative potential and are reshaping the
complex AI landscape, they require careful management and continual
re몭nement to ensure they show their full potential without compromising on
safety and accuracy.

What are domainspecific LLMs?
A domain-speci몭c language model constitutes a specialized subset of large
language models dedicated to producing highly accurate results within a
particular domain. Unlike a generalized LLM, which aims to process a diverse
8. range of topics with satisfactory pro몭ciency, a domain-speci몭c language
model focuses on optimizing its performance within a prede몭ned sector,
which could range from technical domains such as law or medicine to more
casual areas like culinary arts.
The methodology of training a domain-speci몭c language model hinges on
acquiring a substantial volume of domain-speci몭c data. This data serves as
the training set, ensuring the model is immersed in the contextual intricacies
and speci몭c knowledge pertinent to the chosen domain.
There are two primary strategies to undertake domain-speci몭c pre-training.
The 몭rst strategy involves initializing a pre-trained LLM and 몭ne-tuning it with
the domain-speci몭c data to adapt its capabilities to the new context. This
method typically allows faster convergence and often superior performance.
The alternative strategy is to construct a new LLM from scratch using the
domain-speci몭c data. The optimal strategy may vary depending on the
application and the domain in question.
However, this specialization entails a fundamental trade-o몭. A domain-
speci몭c language model, such as a model trained exclusively on culinary
recipes, can comprehend the subtleties of its specialized domain more
pro몭ciently than a generalized model. Nevertheless, its performance
deteriorates signi몭cantly when faced with tasks outside its trained domain.
On the other hand, a generic LLM possesses broader knowledge, albeit
without the 몭ne-grained expertise of a domain-speci몭c language model.
This di몭erence is similar to what we see in real-life expertise. It is exceedingly
rare to encounter a professional chef who can also provide pro몭cient stock
market analysis or a mathematician who doubles as an accomplished artist.
Correspondingly, developing an LLM that can seamlessly transition between
domains while maintaining a high degree of pro몭ciency is a challenge. The
trade-o몭 between breadth and depth of knowledge is intrinsic to the design
of language models, necessitating judicious consideration in the
development process.

It is important to remember that while domain-speci몭c LLMs can provide
better performance within their domain, general LLMs are more versatile
and can handle a wider variety of tasks. The choice between the two depends
on the speci몭c needs and objectives of the application.
What are the benefits using domain
specific LLMs?
In the rapidly evolving 몭eld of arti몭cial intelligence, domain-speci몭c language
models have emerged as a critical tool for enhancing task pro몭ciency and
model e몭ciency. Tailored to excel in speci몭c 몭elds, these models leverage
the extensive knowledge base of large language models and 몭ne-tune it to
provide superior generalization capabilities and augmented interpretability
in specialized domains.
Here are some bene몭ts:
Enhanced task pro몭ciency
Large language models, ingrained with extensive textual data, demonstrate a
comprehensive understanding of language and an abundance of general
knowledge, serving as an excellent springboard for domain-speci몭c 몭ne-
tuning. While an LLM is suitable for generalized linguistic tasks, it may not
perform optimally in specialized domains such as healthcare. Leveraging an
LLM as a foundational model and 몭ne-tuning it for speci몭c domains can
considerably improve task-related performance.
Ampli몭ed e몭ciency
12. Domain-speci몭c models are highly tailored to execute a particular set of
tasks and concentrate solely on the information relevant to those tasks. This
speci몭city reduces computational overhead and processing requirements,
thereby enhancing model e몭ciency and expediting task completion.
Superior generalization capabilities
Training models to comprehend the particular language and domain-speci몭c
knowledge allows them to generalize more pro몭ciently to novel instances
within the domain. This becomes a crucial asset when dealing with limited
data sets or when the domain incorporates its own unique terminology and
concepts. This ability is especially advantageous in rapidly evolving 몭elds
such as precision medicine in healthcare.
Augmented interpretability
The interpretability of domain-speci몭c models is notably enhanced due to
their task-speci몭c focus and domain-speci몭c training data. These models
yield more relevant outcomes, regardless of the task, be it chat, text search,
prediction, or information extraction, thus making them more
comprehensible and meaningful.
Challenges of building domainspecific
custom LLMs
Creating custom large language models introduces various challenges for
organizations, broadly segmented into data-, technical-, ethical-, and
resource-related issues.
Data challenges
Organizations striving to establish custom LLMs grapple with data-associated
challenges, including data acquisition, quality, and privacy. The procurement
of substantial, niche-speci몭c data could be demanding, especially when
dealing with specialized or con몭dential data. Ensuring data integrity during
collection is paramount, and so is addressing data privacy and protection,
which requires deploying e몭ective measures to anonymize data and
13. safeguard it throughout training and deployment phases.
Technical challenges
Technical hurdles in the development of custom LLMs revolve around
aspects such as model architecture, training, assessment, and validation.
Selection of suitable architecture and parameters necessitates specialized
knowledge, while training custom LLMs requires advanced competencies in
machine learning. Evaluation becomes complex owing to the lack of
established benchmarks for niche-speci몭c tasks, and accuracy, safety, and
compliance validation of model responses present additional challenges.
Ethical challenges
It is essential to confront ethical issues related to bias, fairness, content
moderation, and safety while creating custom LLMs. LLMs may inadvertently
incorporate and perpetuate biases from training data, making meticulous
auditing and mitigation strategies a necessity. Robust content moderation
mechanisms must be in place to prevent potentially inappropriate or harmful
content generated by custom LLMs.
Resource challenges
The development of custom LLMs poses resource-related issues,
predominantly in terms of computational resources and specialized skills.
Training LLMs necessitate substantial computational resources, which could
be expensive and inaccessible for some organizations. It also requires a team
pro몭cient in machine learning, natural language processing, and software
engineering, which could be challenging to recruit and retain, thereby
increasing the complexity and cost of the project.
Despite the inherent challenges, they are not unconquerable. Organizations
can successfully develop and deploy custom LLMs with strategic planning,
apt resources, and expert guidance to meet their unique requirements. As
the market begins to witness the advent of commercially viable open-source
foundation models, the trend of building domain-speci몭c LLMs using these
models is set to intensify.

A detailed case study of BloombergGPT, a
financespecific LLM
Bloomberg has unveiled BloombergGPT, a state-of-the-art large language
model, primed with extensive 몭nancial data for superior performance in
몭nancial sector-speci몭c NLP tasks. This powerful AI tool expedites the
evaluation of 몭nancial data, assists in risk assessments, measures 몭nancial
sentiment, and could potentially automate accounting and auditing
functions.
BloombergGPT is a highly specialized language model developed for the
몭nancial domain. It’s a sophisticated construct, equipped with 50 billion
parameters. The model’s training utilized a considerable volume of data –
363 billion tokens sourced from Bloomberg’s unique databases and an
additional 345 billion tokens derived from generalized datasets. This
combination of 몭nancial and general-purpose data has resulted in a model
that performs exceptionally well in its specialized domain. BloombergGPT
has demonstrated substantial improvements over existing models when
15. tackling 몭nancial tasks. Notably, despite its specialization, the model sustains
commendable performance levels on standard large language model
benchmarks, asserting its versatile applicability.
According to Bloomberg, the 몭nancial industry’s intricate nature necessitates
an AI speci몭cally trained on 몭nancial data. In this context, BloombergGPT has
been designed to interact with the Bloomberg Terminal, a software platform
that provides real-time market data, breaking news, in-depth 몭nancial
research, and sophisticated analytics to 몭nancial professionals.
BloombergGPT is a pioneering stride towards leveraging this novel
technology for the 몭nancial sector. It is projected to enhance Bloomberg’s
existing NLP functionalities, including sentiment analysis, named entity
recognition, news classi몭cation, and question-answering. Moreover, the
model’s capability to structure the vast data accessible on the Bloomberg
Terminal can signi몭cantly improve client services and unlock AI’s immense
potential within the 몭nancial industry.
Bloomberg’s research emphasizes that while general models eliminate the
need for specialized training due to their wide-ranging capabilities, existing
domain-speci몭c models’ results suggest that they are irreplaceable. Despite
the 몭nancial domain being Bloomberg’s primary focus, the company
supports diverse tasks that bene몭t from a general model. Hence, Bloomberg
aimed to construct a model like BloombergGPT, which performs
commendably on general-purpose LLM benchmarks, while also excelling in
몭nancial tasks.
BloombergGPT stands as a potent Large Language Model (LLM), speci몭cally
optimized for 몭nancial Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. This
optimization is achieved by integrating both domain-speci몭c and general-
purpose data during its training phase.
Bloomberg Query Language (BQL) functions as a sophisticated query
language, enabling access and analysis of 몭nancial data within Bloomberg’s
16. platform. BQL, although a powerful tool, presents complexities and can be
applied to diverse tasks including data search, data analysis, report
generation, and insight derivation. BloombergGPT streamlines this process
by converting natural language queries into valid BQL, thereby facilitating
more intuitive interactions with 몭nancial data.
Additionally, BloombergGPT holds potential applications for news settings,
serving as a tool for suggesting news headlines. This functionality proves
valuable for news applications and assists journalists in curating newsletters.
The model accepts paragraphs as inputs and proposes an appropriate title in
return. This capability enhances the ease and speed of news article creation,
contributing further to BloombergGPT’s utility in the areas of 몭nance and
news.
BloombergGPT has demonstrated a competitive performance compared to
GPT-3 and other LLMs on general tasks, outpacing them in several 몭nance-
speci몭c tasks. This introduction of BloombergGPT represents a signi몭cant
breakthrough in AI-driven 몭nancial analysis, amplifying the application scope
of NLP within the 몭nancial technology landscape.
What tasks BloombergGPT can perform?
Financial tasks in natural language processing
When BloombergGPT approaches 몭nancial tasks within the NLP discipline, it
handles them similarly to general NLP tasks. However, these 몭nancial tasks
carry unique features and challenges that di몭erentiate them from their
general counterparts. A prime example of this dynamic can be seen in
sentiment analysis.
Sentiment analysis is a common NLP task, which aims to identify the tone or
emotional context of a given text. Take, for instance, a headline such as
“COMPANY to cut 10,000 jobs”. In general, this would typically suggest a
negative sentiment as it implies job loss and potential hardship for many
individuals. However, when seen through the lens of 몭nancial context, the
17. sentiment can be perceived di몭erently.
In the world of 몭nance, job cuts often indicate a move towards operational
e몭ciency by a company. Such a move can increase the company’s stock price
or bolster investor con몭dence in the company. This clearly demonstrates the
multifaceted nature of sentiment analysis when applied within the 몭nancial
domain, as understood and implemented by BloombergGPT.
External 몭nancial benchmarks
When it comes to external 몭nancial benchmarks, BloombergGPT utilizes a
variety of resources. This includes four tasks drawn from the FLUE
benchmark as well as the ConvFinQA dataset. The performance of large
language models on these 몭nancial tasks is a relatively unexplored territory,
making the assessment complex.
BloombergGPT operates in a unique fashion, utilizing a few-shot learning
approach when dealing with these tasks. This technique involves training the
model on a small number of examples or ‘shots’. The purpose behind this
method is to optimize the average performance across all models.
This approach demonstrates how BloombergGPT addresses the challenges
of evaluating performance on tasks where there isn’t a broad consensus or
standard testing framework. Despite the intricate nature of these tasks,
BloombergGPT remains committed to performing e몭ciently, abiding by its
main principle of choosing a number of shots that would maximize average
performance.
Internal task: Sentiment analysis
When dealing with internal tasks, BloombergGPT focuses heavily on aspect-
speci몭c sentiment analysis, a practice common in 몭nancial literature. The
process involves a methodical approach, structured around a distinct
discovery phase.
18. The discovery phase is instrumental in setting up the groundwork for
sentiment analysis. It establishes the annotation and sampling procedures,
which are essential components of the process. Additionally, this phase helps
to gauge the required number of annotators for each example.
The training requirements for the annotators are also determined during this
discovery phase. BloombergGPT relies on this structured procedure to
maintain a consistent and e몭ective approach to sentiment analysis, ensuring
accurate and relevant results. This method underscores BloombergGPT’s
commitment to perform complex tasks with diligence and precision.
Exploratory task: Named Entity Recognition (NER)
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a well-established task in the broader
scope of natural language processing. However, this area has not been
deeply investigated when it comes to generative language learning models.
Recognizing the relevance of NER in the 몭nancial sector, BloombergGPT
embarked on an exploratory journey into this task, aiming to uncover new
insights and approaches.
The team behind BloombergGPT reported preliminary results from their
exploration into NER. As part of this endeavor, they utilized seven distinct
NER datasets originating from various domains within Bloomberg’s internal
resources.
By venturing into this relatively uncharted territory within generative LLMs,
BloombergGPT is enhancing its capabilities and contributing valuable
research and 몭ndings to the broader 몭eld of natural language processing.
Evaluation on standard general-purpose NLP tasks
The performance of BloombergGPT was critically examined on a variety of
standard general-purpose NLP tasks. This evaluation process utilized BIG-
bench Hard, representing a subset of the most demanding tasks within the
broader BIG-bench benchmark.
19. Although the main focus of BloombergGPT is distinctly 몭nance-oriented
tasks, the inclusion of general-purpose training data in its learning process
was considered essential. This approach is based on the possibility that such
comprehensive data might augment BloombergGPT’s e몭cacy. This could not
only enhance its capabilities in dealing with 몭nancial tasks, but could
potentially improve its performance on conventional NLP tasks as well.
Therefore, even as BloombergGPT is fundamentally 몭nance-focused, it
appreciates the value of a well-rounded NLP competence, actively seeking to
excel in not just specialized, but also universal NLP tasks.
Knowledge assessments
BloombergGPT’s knowledge capacity, speci몭cally its capability to recall
information learned during its training phase, was put under the microscope
by the research team. This evaluation was conducted through various
scenarios where the model was required to provide answers to posed
questions, without the aid of additional context or resources.
These scenarios comprised multiple-choice questions, along with
benchmarks based on reading comprehension. Thus, the assessment was
designed to evaluate not just the factual knowledge retained by
BloombergGPT during its training, but also its ability to interpret, understand
and utilize that knowledge e몭ectively. It provided a valuable insight into
BloombergGPT’s understanding and recall capabilities, which are critical
aspects for any language model, especially in the 몭nancial domain where
accuracy and reliability of information is paramount.
Linguistic tasks
In the evaluation of BloombergGPT, certain tasks were not directly linked to
end-user applications. These were essentially linguistic tasks, put in place to
measure the model’s pro몭ciency in understanding language at its core.
20. Such tasks scrutinized BloombergGPT’s capability in tackling disambiguation,
parsing grammar, and understanding entailment. These areas are
fundamental to language understanding and were chosen to directly assess
BloombergGPT’s linguistic competence. By examining these abilities, the
team aimed to ensure that the model could adeptly navigate language
complexities, a skill that would prove invaluable even in its primary focus
area of 몭nancial language processing.
The architecture of a domain-speci몭c LLM like
BloombergGPT
The creation of BloombergGPT was a joint endeavor between the Machine
Learning (ML) Product and Research group and the AI Engineering team at
Bloomberg. Their objective was to compile one of the largest domain-speci몭c
datasets to date. This involved leveraging Bloomberg’s vast data creation,
collection, and curation resources. The team utilized Bloomberg’s expansive
archive of 몭nancial data, assembling a comprehensive dataset of 363 billion
tokens composed of English 몭nancial documents. This corpus was further
augmented with a public dataset of 345 billion tokens, resulting in a
combined training corpus surpassing 700 billion tokens.
To operationalize this vast dataset, the team elected to train a 50-billion
parameter decoder-only causal language model. This type of model is adept
at generating text in a sequential manner, making it ideal for processing
natural language data. The resulting model was then tested on several
validation sets: 몭nance-speci몭c natural language processing benchmarks,
Bloomberg’s internal benchmarks, and a variety of generic NLP tasks drawn
from widely recognized benchmarks.
BloombergGPT demonstrated exceptional performance, surpassing existing
open source models of comparable size on 몭nance-speci몭c tasks by
substantial margins. Importantly, while its specialization didn’t impede its
ability to tackle broader tasks, the model also matched or exceeded
performance on the general NLP benchmarks. This underscores the potential
21. of BloombergGPT to enhance 몭nancial NLP tasks without sacri몭cing its utility
for more general applications.
BloombergGPT’s architecture is based on a language model called BLOOM,
which operates as a causal or “decoder-based” model. “Causal” essentially
means that the model generates text sequentially, predicting the next word
in a sequence based on the words that came before it.
The core of the BLOOM model consists of 70 layers of transformer decoder
blocks. Here’s a simpli몭ed explanation of what this means:
Transformer decoder blocks: These are a type of model structure used in
natural language processing. They are designed to handle sequential data,
like sentences, where the order of the elements is important. The
transformer decoder block uses the following components:
SA (Self attention): This mechanism helps the model pay varying
amounts of ‘attention’ to di몭erent words in the input when generating
the output. It allows the model to focus on the important words and
understand the context better.
LN (Layer Normalization): This is a technique to stabilize and speed up
the learning process of the model. It ensures that the calculations the
model performs stay within a manageable range, preventing numerical
issues.
FFN (Feed-forward Network): This is a type of arti몭cial neural network
where information moves in one direction – from input to output. It
does not have any cycles or loops, and each layer of neurons is fully
connected to the next layer.
The model also ties the input token embeddings (the numerical
representation of words) to the linear mapping that occurs before the 몭nal
output is decided. This step helps reduce the model’s complexity and can
improve the e몭ciency of the model’s learning process.
Finally, there is an extra layer normalization step added after token
22. embeddings. In this case, the initial token embedding, and the additional
component of layer normalization for the embeddings. The inclusion of two
consecutive layer normalization steps ensures the model’s stability and
assists in e몭cient learning.
In summary, the architecture of the BloombergGPT model is designed to
e몭ciently learn from and generate text data, with several features intended
to enhance the model’s stability and learning speed.

How was BloombergGPT trained?
Step 1: Constructing the FinPile dataset
The research team responsible for the creation of BloombergGPT made use
of an extensive and diverse dataset titled “FinPile” for its training process.
FinPile comprises various English 몭nancial documents from multiple sources,
namely news articles, 몭lings, press releases, and social media content, all
from the extensive Bloomberg archives.
This wealth of 몭nancial data includes elements like company 몭lings, 몭nancial
news, and other information relevant to market trends. Some of this data is
publicly accessible, while other parts can only be accessed through purchase
or exclusive access via the Bloomberg Terminal. This data is meticulously
cleaned to remove any unnecessary elements such as markup, special
formatting, and templates. Moreover, each document is time-stamped,
23. spanning from March 1, 2007, to July 31, 2022, indicating a gradual
improvement in data quality and volume over time.
While the team can’t release the FinPile dataset, they aim to share their
insights and experiences in building this highly domain-speci몭c model. They
also intend to leverage date information in future research work.
FinPile’s 몭nancial data is paired with public data commonly used for LLM
training to create a balanced training corpus, having an equal representation
of domain-speci몭c and general-purpose text. The team undertook a de-
duplication process for each dataset in order to maintain high data quality,
which could result in di몭ering statistical reports compared to other studies.
Step 2: Tokenization
The research team behind BloombergGPT decided to employ the Unigram
tokenizer, in preference to other greedy merge-based sub-word tokenizers
like BPE or Wordpiece. This decision was based on the Unigram tokenizer’s
promising performance in prior research studies. They adopted a byte-based
approach to data handling instead of the more common practice of treating
data as a sequence of Unicode characters.
Additionally, the team employed a pre-tokenization process similar to that
used in GPT-2, which breaks the input into distinct chunks. This method
facilitates the learning of multi-word tokens, thereby increasing information
density and reducing context lengths.
The team used the Pile dataset to train their tokenizer. Given its diverse
content, The Pile was considered a suitable choice for their purposes.
Handling such a large dataset required a parallel tokenizer training method,
and the team adopted a split and merge strategy for this. They trained a
Unigram tokenizer on each chunk of data and then merged them in a
hierarchical manner to create the 몭nal tokenizer.
The resulting tokenizer consisted of 7 million tokens, which was further
condensed to 131,072 tokens. The decision of vocabulary size was in몭uenced
24. by several factors, including the need to 몭t more information into the context
window and considerations related to overhead. The team arrived at a
vocabulary size of 131,072 tokens following experiments with di몭erent
vocabulary sizes and the smallest encoded representation of the C4 dataset.
Consequently, the tokenizer used for BloombergGPT is relatively larger than
the standard vocabulary size of approximately 50,000 tokens.
Step 3: Building the model
The Bloomberg team builds the BloombergGPT model upon the structural
foundation provided by the BLOOM model. This involves utilizing a decoder-
only causal language model comprising 70 layers of transformer decoder
blocks. These blocks consist of multi-head self-attention, layer normalization,
and a feed-forward network with a single hidden layer. A GELU function is
employed as the non-linear element within the network.
Additionally, ALiBi positional encoding, or Attention with Linear Biases, is
implemented and the input token embeddings are connected to the linear
mapping preceding the 몭nal softmax application. An additional layer
normalization is executed following the token embeddings.
Leveraging the scaling laws from Chinchilla, the Bloomberg team determines
the size of the BloombergGPT model. They set their total compute budget at
1.3 million GPU hours on 40GB A100 GPUs. The costs associated with
activation checkpointing are accounted for and the Chinchilla equations are
used to ascertain the optimum balance between the number of parameters
and tokens.
Despite possessing a signi몭cant dataset of approximately 700 billion tokens,
the Bloomberg team found it too limited for the optimal con몭guration given
their compute budget. To circumnavigate this constraint, they opt for the
largest possible model, having 50 billion parameters, while preserving
around 30% of the total compute budget as a safeguard for potential
challenges that may emerge.
25. To set the structure of the BloombergGPT model, which has 50 billion
parameters, the Bloomberg team used recommendations from Levine et al.
(2020). According to these recommendations, the ideal size (D) for the hidden
layers depends on the model’s number of self-attention layers (L). The team
chose 70 self-attention layers (L = 70) and a target size of 7510 for the hidden
layers (D = 7510).
To enhance the performance of the model’s Tensor Core operations, the
team used a design with 40 heads, each having a dimension of 192. This
resulted in a total hidden size (D) of 7680, bringing the overall parameter
count to 50.6 billion.
Step 4: Training the model
The BloombergGPT model, built on PyTorch, is trained following a standard
causal language modeling objective, with a directionality from left to right.
The team has strategically set the length of the training sequences at 2,048
tokens to make optimal use of GPU resources.
The AdamW optimizer is utilized in the optimization process, and the
learning rate aligns with a cosine decay schedule that includes a linear
warmup. Additionally, a batch size warmup is applied for enhanced
performance.
The training and evaluation stages of the model are conducted on Amazon
SageMaker, leveraging 64 instances of p4d.24xlarge, each equipped with 8
NVIDIA 40GB A100 GPUs. To ensure e몭cient data access and high-speed
throughput, the team employs Amazon FSX for Lustre, which supports up to
1000 MB/s for both read and write operations per TiB of the storage unit.
Step 5: Large-scale optimization
To train the substantial BloombergGPT model within the constraints of GPU
memory, the Bloomberg team implements a series of optimization
techniques:
ZeRO optimization (stage 3): This approach involves dividing the training
26. state across a group of GPUs. In the case of BloombergGPT, the team
deploys 128 GPUs for the purpose of sharding and maintains four replicas
of the model throughout the training process.
MiCS: This system is designed to lower the communication overhead and
memory requirements for training clusters in the cloud. It utilizes
hierarchical communication, a 2-hop gradient update mechanism, and a
scale-aware model partitioning scheme.
Activation checkpointing: This technique discards activations and
recalculates intermediate tensors during backward passes, as and when
necessary to minimize the memory consumed during the training process.
Mixed precision training: This strategy helps save memory by executing
forward and backward passes in BFloat16 precision, while storing and
updating the parameters in full precision (FP32).
Fused kernels: This method amalgamates multiple operations into a
singular GPU operation. The result is a reduction in peak memory usage
due to the avoidance of storage of intermediate results and an
enhancement in speed.
By applying these optimizations, the Bloomberg team successfully manages
to yield an average computational performance of 102 TFLOPs, with each
training step taking around 32.5 seconds.
How ethical and privacy issues are handled in
BloombergGPT?
BloombergGPT, designed for 몭nancial applications, is developed with a
thorough focus on ethical and privacy considerations. These aspects are
meticulously addressed in the development process through a series of well-
structured measures.
Risk assessment and compliance procedures
Recognizing the sensitivity of the 몭nancial sector, Bloomberg has established
a robust risk assessment and testing process. Accuracy and factual
27. information are deemed crucial for the 몭rm’s reputation and the satisfaction
of its clients, who are increasingly seeking to incorporate advanced
technology into their operations.
This process involves stringent annotation guidelines, multi-level pre-launch
reviews involving central risk and compliance units, and continuous post-
launch monitoring. All research, development, and deployment procedures
for BloombergGPT align with relevant regulations, maintaining high
standards for compliance.
Toxicity and bias control
Bloomberg exerts extraordinary e몭ort to control any potential toxicity and
bias in its content, produced either by humans or AI models. The team
behind BloombergGPT maintains an ongoing interest in evaluating and
quantifying potential generation of harmful language in various application
contexts. Particular attention is given to studying the in몭uence of the FinPile
corpus, which is characterized by a lower incidence of biased or toxic
language, on the model’s tendencies. As BloombergGPT is integrated into
new products, these rigorous testing procedures and compliance controls
will be applied to ensure safe usage.
Model release and openness
The question of how to release LLMs is a subject of ongoing debate in the AI
community. Given the potential for misuse of LLMs, especially ones like
BloombergGPT that are trained on a wealth of sensitive data, Bloomberg
employs a strategic approach to this issue. Various strategies are considered,
ranging from releasing trained models under speci몭c usage licenses, to
granting API access without revealing underlying model parameters or
detailed training data.
In light of the signi몭cant risk of data leakage attacks, Bloomberg has opted
for a conservative approach, withholding the release of BloombergGPT
28. model parameters. This decision is made in alignment with the company’s
mission to provide access to data collected over decades, while also ensuring
its protection from potential misuse.
Contribution to the 몭eld
Despite not releasing the model, BloombergGPT’s development journey
provides valuable insights to the broader NLP community, especially those
creating domain-speci몭c models. The experience gained in training and
evaluating BloombergGPT can help better understand these models,
contributing to the shared knowledge in the 몭eld of NLP and LLMs.
Bloomberg acknowledges the in몭uence of various other models and projects
in shaping the development of BloombergGPT, and continues its e몭orts in
contributing to this collective intelligence.
How to train an opensource foundation
model into a domainspecific LLM?
The objective here is to develop a classi몭cation model leveraging the robust
capabilities of BERT, a pre-trained large language model. To customize this
model to 몭t a speci몭c domain, it will be 몭ne-tuned using domain-speci몭c
data, speci몭cally the Toxic Comment Classi몭cation Challenge data, sourced
from the realm of social media.
The dataset essential for executing this project is available on Kaggle. Only
the ‘train.csv’ 몭le among the available datasets will be utilized for this
particular case. The complete code is available on GitHub.
Let’s code!
Step 1: Loading the data set
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
29. from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report
import transformers
from transformers import AutoModel, BertTokenizerFast
# specify GPU if you have a GPU
device = torch.device("cuda")
#
# Lead dataset
df = pd.read_csv("train.csv")
# mydata.csv has only 2 columns "text" and "label" (binary)
df = df.sample(6400)[['comment_text', 'toxic']]
df.columns = ['text', 'label']
# print data and take a look at it
df.head()
# check for class ditribution
print(df['label'].value_counts(normalize=True))
# Split data into train and test
train_text, temp_text, train_labels, temp_labels = train_test_split(
df['text'],
df['label'],
random_state=1234,
test_size=0.3,
stratify=df['label'])
# Using temp_text and temp_labels created in previous step generate va
val_text, test_text, val_labels, test_labels = train_test_split(
30. val_text, test_text, val_labels, test_labels = train_test_split(
temp_text,
temp_labels,
random_state=1234,
test_size=0.5,
stratify=temp_labels)
# This will make 70% training data, 15% validation, and 15% test
Step 2: Tokenizaton
# Import BERT tokenizer from the pretained model
bert = AutoModel.from_pretrained('bertbaseuncased')
tokenizer = BertTokenizerFast.from_pretrained('bertbaseuncased')
# Get length of all the sentences in the data
seq_len = [len(i.split()) for i in train_text]
pd.Series(seq_len).hist(bins=100)
# Select the max_seq_len that we will be keeping based on the distribu
max_seq_len = 100
# Tokenize sequences trimmed at max length determined above in the tra
# tokenize and encode sequences in the
tokens_train = tokenizer.batch_encode_plus(train_text.tolist(),
max_length=max_seq_len,
pad_to_max_length=True,
truncation=True,
return_token_type_ids=False)
tokens_val = tokenizer.batch_encode_plus(val_text.tolist(),
max_length=max_seq_len,
pad_to_max_length=True,
truncation=True,
31. return_token_type_ids=False)
tokens_test = tokenizer.batch_encode_plus(test_text.tolist(),
max_length=max_seq_len,
pad_to_max_length=True,
truncation=True,
return_token_type_ids=False)
# Convert tokens to tensors for train, validation, and test sts
train_seq = torch.tensor(tokens_train['input_ids'])
train_mask = torch.tensor(tokens_train['attention_mask'])
train_y = torch.tensor(train_labels.tolist())
val_seq = torch.tensor(tokens_val['input_ids'])
val_mask = torch.tensor(tokens_val['attention_mask'])
val_y = torch.tensor(val_labels.tolist())
test_seq = torch.tensor(tokens_test['input_ids'])
test_mask = torch.tensor(tokens_test['attention_mask'])
test_y = torch.tensor(test_labels.tolist())
Step 3: Creating a data loader to prepare the data for training
from torch.utils.data import TensorDataset, DataLoader, RandomSampler,
#define a batch size (You may want to tweak batch size based on your s
batch_size = 32
# wrap tensors, random smapler, and prep dataloader for train data
train_data = TensorDataset(train_seq, train_mask, train_y)
train_sampler = RandomSampler(train_data)
train_dataloader = DataLoader(train_data,
32. sampler=train_sampler,
batch_size=batch_size)
# wrap tensors, random smapler, and prep dataloader for vaidation data
val_data = TensorDataset(val_seq, val_mask, val_y)
val_sampler = SequentialSampler(val_data)
val_dataloader = DataLoader(val_data,
sampler=val_sampler,
batch_size=batch_size)
# freeze all the parameters by setting requires_grad = False
for param in bert.parameters():
param.requires_grad = False
Step 4: De몭ning the model architecture: Adding 3 layers and 1 binary
output layer to the NN
class BERT_Arch(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, bert):
super(BERT_Arch, self).__init__()
self.bert = bert
# dropout layer
self.dropout = nn.Dropout(0.1)
# relu activation function
self.relu = nn.ReLU()
# dense layer 1 # Note 768 is immutable for BERT, you can choose a dim
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(768, 512)
33. self.fc1 = nn.Linear(768, 512)
# dense layer 2 (Output layer)
self.fc2 = nn.Linear(512, 128)
# dense layer 3 (Output layer)
self.fc3 = nn.Linear(128, 32)
# dense layer 4 (Output layer)
self.fc4 = nn.Linear(32, 2)
#softmax activation function
self.softmax = nn.LogSoftmax(dim=1)
#define the forward pass
def forward(self, sent_id, mask):
#pass the inputs to the model
_, cls_hs = self.bert(sent_id, attention_mask=mask, return_dict=False)
# Execute 1st layer
x = self.fc1(cls_hs)
x = self.relu(x)
x = self.dropout(x)
# Execute 2nd layer
x = self.fc2(x)
x = self.relu(x)
x = self.dropout(x)
# Execute 3rd layer
x = self.fc3(x)
34. x = self.relu(x)
x = self.dropout(x)
# output layer
x = self.fc4(x)
# apply softmax activation
x = self.softmax(x)
return x
Step 5: Passing the pre-trained BERT to prepare the loss function
model = BERT_Architecture(bert)
# push the model to GPU
model = model.to(device)
# optimizer from hugging face transformers
from transformers import AdamW
# define the optimizer
optimizer = AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=1e3)
# Find class weights and push those to GPU
from sklearn.utils.class_weight import compute_class_weight
class_weights = compute_class_weight(class_weight="balanced",
classes=np.unique(train_labels),
y=train_labels)
# class_weights = dict(zip(np.unique(train_labels), class_weights))
# convert class weights to tensor
35. weights = torch.tensor(class_weights, dtype=torch.float)
weights = weights.to(device)
cross_entropy = nn.NLLLoss(weight=weights)
# number of training epochs
epochs = 100
print(class_weights)
Step 6: Train the model
def train():
# Train model
model.train()
# Initiate the loss and accuracy as zero to start with (it will update
total_loss, total_accuracy = 0, 0
# empty list to save model predictions
total_preds = []
# iterate over batches
for step, batch in enumerate(train_dataloader):
# push the batch to gpu
batch = [r.to(device) for r in batch]
sent_id, mask, labels = batch
# clear previously calculated gradients
model.zero_grad()
# get model predictions for the current batch
preds = model(sent_id, mask)
36. # compute the loss between actual and predicted values
loss = cross_entropy(preds, labels)
# add on to the total loss
total_loss = total_loss + loss.item()
# backward pass to calculate the gradients
loss.backward()
# clip the the gradients to 1.0. It helps in preventing the exploding
torch.nn.utils.clip_grad_norm_(model.parameters(), 1.0)
# update parameters
optimizer.step()
# model predictions are stored on GPU. So, push it to CPU
preds = preds.detach().cpu().numpy()
# append the model predictions
total_preds.append(preds)
# compute the training loss of the epoch
avg_loss = total_loss / len(train_dataloader)
# predictions are in the form of (no. of batches, size of batch, no. o
# We will have to reshape the predictions in form of (number of sample
total_preds = np.concatenate(total_preds, axis=0)
#returns the loss and predictions
return avg_loss, total_preds
37. Step 7: Evaluate the model
def evaluate():
print("nEvaluating...")
# deactivate dropout layers
model.eval()
# Again starting loss and accuracy as zero
total_loss, total_accuracy = 0, 0
# empty list to save the model predictions
total_preds = []
# iterate over batches
for step, batch in enumerate(val_dataloader):
# push the batch to gpu
batch = [t.to(device) for t in batch]
sent_id, mask, labels = batch
# deactivate autograd
with torch.no_grad():
# model predictions
preds = model(sent_id, mask)
# compute the validation loss between actual and predicted values
loss = cross_entropy(preds, labels)
total_loss = total_loss + loss.item()
preds = preds.detach().cpu().numpy()
total_preds.append(preds)
38. # compute the validation loss of the epoch
avg_loss = total_loss / len(val_dataloader)
# reshape the predictions in form of (number of samples, no. of classe
total_preds = np.concatenate(total_preds, axis=0)
return avg_loss, total_preds
Step 8: Run the pipeline to iteratively train and evaluate model and
get the output for every epoch
# set initial loss to infinite
best_valid_loss = float('inf')
# empty lists to store training and validation loss of each epoch
train_losses = []
valid_losses = []
#for each epoch
for epoch in range(epochs):
#train model
train_loss, _ = train()
#evaluate model
valid_loss, _ = evaluate()
#save the best model
if valid_loss < best_valid_loss:
best_valid_loss = valid_loss
torch.save(model.state_dict(), 'saved_weights.pt')
39. # append training and validation loss
train_losses.append(train_loss)
valid_losses.append(valid_loss)
print(
f'Epoch {epoch + 1}/{epochs}tTraining Loss: {train_loss:.3f}tValidat
)
#load weights of best model
path = 'saved_weights.pt'
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(path))
# get predictions for test data
with torch.no_grad():
preds = model(test_seq.to(device), test_mask.to(device))
preds = preds.detach().cpu().numpy()
# model's performance
preds = np.argmax(preds, axis=1)
print(classification_report(test_y, preds))
pd.crosstab(test_y, preds)
