Introduction

MDCure is an effective and scalable procedure for generating high-quality multi-document (MD) instruction tuning data to improve MD capabilities of LLMs. Using MDCure, we construct a suite of MD instruction datasets complementary to collections such as FLAN and fine-tune a variety of already instruction-tuned LLMs from the FlanT5, Qwen2, and LLAMA3.1 model families, up to 70B parameters in size. We additionally introduce MDCureRM, an evaluator model specifically designed for the MD setting to filter and select high-quality MD instruction data in a cost-effective, RM-as-a-judge fashion. Extensive evaluations on a wide range of MD and long-context benchmarks spanning various tasks show MDCure consistently improves performance over pre-trained baselines and over corresponding base models by up to 75.5%.

We release MDCure datasets of size 12k, 36k, and 72k. We also release MDCureRM and the best MDCure'd model for each architecture/size combination. To access all our models and datasets, please visit our HF Collection. For further details regarding dataset construction, please see our paper and Github repo. For additional details regarding how to use yale-nlp/MDCure-Qwen2-7B-Instruct, please see below.

The MDCure pipeline generates diverse multi-document instructions, filters them via fine-grained scoring by MDCureRM, and tunes a base LLM to enhance its multi-document capabilities.

Model Details

yale-nlp/MDCureRM-8bit is initialized from sfairXC/FsfairX-LLaMA3-RM-v0.1 and trained via a multi-objective reward modeling framework to obtain a MD-specific reward model that evaluates candidate instructions based on six different criteria. These criteria capture both the overall quality of the instruction-response pairs and their effectiveness in handling multi-document content. Using MDCureRM via a fine-grained RM-as-a-Judge mechanism enables us to yield high-quality training data.

Requirements

We recommend using the latest version of HF Transformers, or any transformers>=4.45.0, to avoid any potential errors when using this model.

Quickstart

Below we provide a code snippet demonstrating how to load the tokenizer and model and score a candidate instruction. We strongly recommend to format the instruction input as shown to maintain consistency with the format of the data used during training of MDCureRM. As the model outputs values normalized to the 0-1 range, we scale outputted scores up to the 1-5 range for more interpretable results. Relative weighting of fine-grained rewards may be configured as desired to obtain the final score; we reproduce the weights used in our implementation in reward_weights below.
