Model Details

Model Description

An unofficial United States Air Force and Space Force performance statement "translation" model. Takes a properly formatted performance statement, also known as a "bullet," as an input and outputs a long-form sentence, using plain english, describing the accomplishments captured within the bullet.

This is a fine-tuned version of the LaMini-Flan-T5-783M, using the justinthelaw/opera-bullet-completions (private) dataset.

Uses

Direct Use

Used to programmatically produce training data for Opera's Bullet Forge (see GitHub repository for details).

The exact prompt to achieve the desired result is: "Using full sentences, expand upon the following Air and Space Force bullet statement by spelling-out acronyms and adding additional context: [INSERT BULLET HERE]"

Below are some examples of the v0.1.0 iteration of this model generating acceptable translations of bullets that it was not previously exposed to during training:

Bullet	Translation to Sentence
- Maintained 112 acft G-files; conducted 100% insp of T.Os job guides--efforts key to flt's 96% LSEP pass rate	I maintained 112 aircraft G-files and conducted 100% inspection of T.O job guides, contributing to the flight's 96% LSEP pass rate.
- Spearheaded mx for 43 nuke-cert vehs$5.2M; achieved peak 99% MC rt--vital to SECAF #1 priorit ynuc deterrence	I spearheaded the maintenance for 43 nuclear-certified vehicles worth $5.2 million, achieving a peak 99% mission capability rating. This mission was vital to the SECAF's #1 priority of nuclear deterrence.
- Superb NCO; mng'd mobility ofc during LibyanISAF ops; continuously outshines peers--promote to MSgt now	I am a superb Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) who managed the mobility operation during Libyan ISAF operations. I continuously outshines my peers and deserve a promotion to MSgt now.
- Managed PMEL prgrm; maintained 300+ essential equipment calibration items--reaped 100% TMDE pass rt	I managed the PMEL program and maintained over 300+ essential equipment calibration items, resulting in a 100% Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) pass rate.

Downstream Use

Used to quickly interpret bullets written by Airman (Air Force) or Guardians (Space Force), into long-form, plain English sentences.

Out-of-Scope Use

Use of the model using Hugging Face's Inference API widget will produce cut-off results. Please see "How to Get Started with the Model" for more details on how to use this model properly. This Hugging Face inference pipeline behavior may be refactored in the future.

Generating bullets from long-form, plain English sentences. General NLP functionality.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Specialized acronyms or abbreviations specific to small units may not be transformed properly. Bullets in highly non-standard formats may result in lower quality results.

Recommendations

Look-up acronyms to ensure the correct narrative is being formed. Double-check (spot check) bullets with slightly more complex acronyms and abbreviations for narrative precision.

Training Details

Training Data

The model was fine-tuned on the justinthelaw/opera-bullet-completions dataset, which can be partially found at the GitHub repository.

Training Procedure

Preprocessing

The justinthelaw/opera-bullet-completions dataset was created using a custom Python web-scraper, along with some custom cleaning functions, all of which can be found at the GitHub repository.

Speeds, Sizes, Times

It takes approximately 3-5 seconds per inference when using any standard-sized Air and Space Force bullet statement.

Evaluation

Testing Data, Factors & Metrics

Testing Data

20% of the justinthelaw/opera-bullet-completions dataset was used to validate the model's performance.

Factors

Repitition, contextual loss, and bullet format are all loss factors tied into the backward propogation calculations and validation steps.

Metrics

ROGUE scores were computed and averaged. These may be provided in future iterations of this model's development.
