# Gemma-2 2B Verbalized Rebus Solver - GGUF Q8_0 🇮🇹

This model is a parameter-efficient fine-tuned version of Gemma-2 2B trained for verbalized rebus solving in Italian, as part of the [release](https://huggingface.co/collections/gsarti/verbalized-rebus-clic-it-2024-66ab8f11cb04e68bdf4fb028) for our paper [Non Verbis, Sed Rebus: Large Language Models are Weak Solvers of Italian Rebuses](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.00584). The task of verbalized rebus solving consists of converting an encrypted sequence of letters and crossword definitions into a solution phrase matching the word lengths specified in the solution key. An example is provided below.

The model was trained in 4-bit precision for 5070 steps on the verbalized subset of the [EurekaRebus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gsarti/eureka-rebus) using QLora via [Unsloth](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth) and [TRL](https://github.com/huggingface/trl).This repository contains the GGUF exported checkpoint of the model in `Q8_0` format, and the `Modelfile` for usage with [Ollama](https://ollama.com/) (see below).

We also provide [adapter checkpoints through training](https://huggingface.co/gsarti/gemma-2-2b-rebus-solver-adapters) and [FP16 merged](https://huggingface.co/gsarti/gsarti/gemma-2-2b-rebus-solver-fp16) versions of this model for analysis and local execution. 

## Local usage with Ollama

A ready-to-use local version of this model is hosted on the [Ollama Hub](https://ollama.com/gsarti/gemma2-2b-rebus-solver) and can be used as follows:

```shell
ollama run gsarti/gemma2-2b-rebus-solver "Rebus: [Materiale espulso dai vulcani] R O [Strumento del calzolaio] [Si trovano ai lati del bacino] C I [Si ingrassano con la polenta] E I N [Contiene scorte di cibi] B [Isola in francese]\nChiave risolutiva: 1 ' 5 6 5 3 3 1 14"

# EXAMPLE GENERATION:
#
# Procediamo alla risoluzione del rebus passo per passo:
# - [Materiale espulso dai vulcani] = lava
# - R O = R O
# - [Strumento del calzolaio] = lesina
# - [Si trovano ai lati del bacino] = anche
# - C I = C I
# - [Si ingrassano con la polenta] = oche
# - E I N = E I N
# - [Contiene scorte di cibi] = dispensa
# - B = B
# - [Isola in francese] = ile
# 
# Prima lettura: lava R O lesina anche C I oche E I N dispensa B ile
# 
# Ora componiamo la soluzione seguendo la chiave risolutiva:
# 1 = L
# ' = '
# 5 = avaro
# 6 = lesina
# 5 = anche
# 3 = ciò
# 3 = che
# 1 = è
# 14 = indispensabile
# 
# Soluzione: L'avaro lesina anche ciò che è indispensabile
```

## Limitations

**Lexical overfitting**: As remarked in the related publication, the model overfitted the set of definitions/answers for first pass words. As a result, words that were [explicitly witheld](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gsarti/eureka-rebus/blob/main/ood_words.txt) from the training set cause significant performance degradation when used as solutions for verbalized rebuses' definitions. You can compare model performances between [in-domain](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gsarti/eureka-rebus/blob/main/id_test.jsonl) and [out-of-domain](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gsarti/eureka-rebus/blob/main/ood_test.jsonl) test examples to verify this limitation.
