Introduction
MentaLLaMA-chat-7B is part of the MentaLLaMA project, the first open-source large language model (LLM) series for interpretable mental health analysis with instruction-following capability. This model is finetuned based on the Meta LLaMA2-chat-7B foundation model and the full IMHI instruction tuning data. The model is expected to make complex mental health analysis for various mental health conditions and give reliable explanations for each of its predictions. It is fine-tuned on the IMHI dataset with 75K high-quality natural language instructions to boost its performance in downstream tasks. We perform a comprehensive evaluation on the IMHI benchmark with 20K test samples. The result shows that MentalLLaMA approaches state-of-the-art discriminative methods in correctness and generates high-quality explanations.
Ethical Consideration
Although experiments on MentaLLaMA show promising performance on interpretable mental health analysis, we stress that all predicted results and generated explanations should only used for non-clinical research, and the help-seeker should get assistance from professional psychiatrists or clinical practitioners. In addition, recent studies have indicated LLMs may introduce some potential bias, such as gender gaps. Meanwhile, some incorrect prediction results, inappropriate explanations, and over-generalization also illustrate the potential risks of current LLMs. Therefore, there are still many challenges in applying the model to real-scenario mental health monitoring systems.
Other Models in MentaLLaMA
In addition to MentaLLaMA-chat-7B, the MentaLLaMA project includes another model: MentaLLaMA-chat-13B, MentalBART, MentalT5.
MentaLLaMA-chat-13B: This model is finetuned based on the Meta LLaMA2-chat-13B foundation model and the full IMHI instruction tuning data. The training data covers 10 mental health analysis tasks.
MentalBART: This model is finetuned based on the BART-large foundation model and the full IMHI-completion data. The training data covers 10 mental health analysis tasks. This model doesn't have instruction-following ability but is more lightweight and performs well in interpretable mental health analysis in a completion-based manner.
MentalT5: This model is finetuned based on the T5-large foundation model and the full IMHI-completion data. The training data covers 10 mental health analysis tasks. This model doesn't have instruction-following ability but is more lightweight and performs well in interpretable mental health analysis in a completion-based manner.
Usage
You can use the MentaLLaMA-chat-7B model in your Python project with the Hugging Face Transformers library. Here is a simple example of how to load the model:
from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM
tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained('klyang/MentaLLaMA-chat-7B')
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained('klyang/MentaLLaMA-chat-7B', device_map='auto')
In this example, LlamaTokenizer is used to load the tokenizer, and LlamaForCausalLM is used to load the model. The device_map='auto' argument is used to automatically
use the GPU if it's available.
