    On the morning of June 15th, armed individuals forced their way into a local
    bank in Mexico City. They held bank employees and customers at gunpoint for
    several hours while demanding access to the vault. The perpetrators escaped
    with an undisclosed amount of money after a prolonged standoff with local
    authorities.

    A massive explosion occurred outside a government building in Baghdad. The
    blast, caused by a car bomb, killed 12 people and injured over 30 others.
    The explosion caused significant damage to the building's facade and
    surrounding structures.

**This model is a alternative to my main ConflLlama model, the only difference being a more neutral chat template.**

# ConflLlama: GTD-Finetuned LLaMA-3 8B
- **Model Type:** GGUF quantized (q4_k_m and q8_0)
- **Base Model:** unsloth/llama-3-8b-bnb-4bit
- **Quantization Details:**
  - Methods: q4_k_m, q8_0, BF16
  - q4_k_m uses Q6_K for half of attention.wv and feed_forward.w2 tensors
  - Optimized for both speed (q8_0) and quality (q4_k_m)

### Training Data
- **Dataset:** Global Terrorism Database (GTD)
- **Time Period:** Events before January 1, 2017
- **Format:** Event summaries with associated attack types
- **Labels:** Attack type classifications from GTD

### Data Processing
1. **Date Filtering:**
   - Filtered events occurring before 2017-01-01
   - Handled missing dates by setting default month/day to 1
2. **Data Cleaning:**
   - Removed entries with missing summaries
   - Cleaned summary text by removing special characters and formatting
3. **Attack Type Processing:**
   - Combined multiple attack types with separator '|'
   - Included primary, secondary, and tertiary attack types when available
4. **Training Format:**
   - Input: Processed event summaries
   - Output: Combined attack types
   - Used chat template:
     ```
     Below describes details about terrorist events.
     >>> Event Details:
     {summary}
     >>> Attack Types:
     {combined_attacks}
     ```

### Training Details
- **Framework:** QLoRA
- **Hardware:** NVIDIA A100-SXM4-40GB GPU on Delta Supercomputer
- **Training Configuration:**
  - Batch Size: 1 per device
  - Gradient Accumulation Steps: 8
  - Learning Rate: 2e-4
  - Max Steps: 1000
  - Save Steps: 200
  - Logging Steps: 10
- **LoRA Configuration:**
  - Rank: 8
  - Target Modules: q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj, gate_proj, up_proj, down_proj
  - Alpha: 16
  - Dropout: 0
- **Optimizations:**
  - Gradient Checkpointing: Enabled
  - 4-bit Quantization: Enabled
  - Max Sequence Length: 1024

### Memory Optimizations
- Used 4-bit quantization
- Gradient accumulation steps: 8
- Memory-efficient gradient checkpointing
- Reduced maximum sequence length to 1024
- Disabled dataloader pin memory

## Intended Use
This model is designed for:
1. Classification of terrorist events based on event descriptions
2. Research in conflict studies and terrorism analysis
3. Understanding attack type patterns in historical events
4. Academic research in security studies

## Limitations
1. Training data limited to pre-2017 events
2. Maximum sequence length limited to 1024 tokens
3. May not capture recent changes in attack patterns
4. Performance dependent on quality of event descriptions

## Ethical Considerations
1. Model trained on sensitive terrorism-related data
2. Should be used responsibly for research purposes only
3. Not intended for operational security decisions
4. Results should be interpreted with appropriate context
