LLMBox: A Comprehensive Library for Large Language Models
This provides a tool for researchers and practitioners working with large language models, but it is incremental as it builds on existing methods without introducing new paradigms.
The paper tackles the challenge of facilitating research on large language models by presenting LLMBox, a comprehensive library that eases development, use, and evaluation, with experimental results demonstrating its effectiveness and efficiency in supporting various implementations.
To facilitate the research on large language models (LLMs), this paper presents a comprehensive and unified library, LLMBox, to ease the development, use, and evaluation of LLMs. This library is featured with three main merits: (1) a unified data interface that supports the flexible implementation of various training strategies, (2) a comprehensive evaluation that covers extensive tasks, datasets, and models, and (3) more practical consideration, especially on user-friendliness and efficiency. With our library, users can easily reproduce existing methods, train new models, and conduct comprehensive performance comparisons. To rigorously test LLMBox, we conduct extensive experiments in a diverse coverage of evaluation settings, and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our library in supporting various implementations related to LLMs. The detailed introduction and usage guidance can be found at https://github.com/RUCAIBox/LLMBox.
