# Worklog
## Backlog
- [ ] @thinhlpg transfers the project to @bachvudinh
- [ ] Modify `generate_dataset.py` (**ONLY AFTER** the simple training and benchmark works):
- [ ] Optimize speed (different LLM models, api, tools, etc.)
- [ ] Optimize quality. As a data dataset maker, I want to change from LLama 3.1 8B to API call, like claude, gemini or openai. Originally they use 3.1 8B for `Self-Bootstrapping` demonstration, but the dataset quality is low, for sure.
- [ ] Experimenting with different chunking strategies
- [ ] [search-backends.md](search-backends.md) design (for more dataset noise (**ONLY AFTER** the simple training dataset works))
- [ ] Train SFT first stage, then GRPO (new idea from @tikikun 250326)
- I think this idea is already implemented in search-r1 repo, i'll double check it later.
- [ ] Implement quality of life scripts from [brain-rotting-multiple-gpu-workflow-for-dummies.md](brain-rotting-multiple-gpu-workflow-for-dummies.md)
- [ ] Better verification logic please (should be a fixed for every experiments, not the base model it self)

- [x] As a new member of research team, i'm curious on how did we do GRPO with Alphamaze?, so that I can inherit the good stuff and improve the workflow!!!
- [Alphamaze](https://github.com/menloresearch/visual-thinker)?
- <https://www.menlo.ai/blog/alpha-maze>
- <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.14669>
- > Our training process involved two key stages: creating a specialized dataset and then using a combination of supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) to train the model.
- LLaMA-Factory for SFT **(1.5B 6xA6000 1.5 hour)** and Unsloth for GRPO
- 💡 Hmm so for SFT we have 50% successful data and 50% retry data, and full successful data for GRPO. Can I also apply this to DeepSearch as well? #HACK

# Anti-dumb reward extact match chunk prompt
@reward-functions.md @train_autodidact_1B.py @rl_helpers.py
I need to implement this function, you check the idea in @reward-functions.md . the function need to somehow be able to compare the grouth truth document chunk that the question and answer is created from, which is
- data in data/data_v1/saved_data/questions.json
- data sample:
```
{
"chunk_id": 1,
"question": "What was the location of the first pad abort of the mission?",
"answer": "White Sands Missile Range",
"difficulty": "easy"
},
```
- chunk content in data/data_v1/saved_data/chunks.pkl
- chunk id is mapped to the chunk content
- im dumb please make it easy for me to implement

# Adaptive Search Behavior
- [Agent Action](agent-action.md) -> mostly recognize missing something -> perform "refined query"
- [x] As a model trainer, I want to inspect the full chat state of the agent to know what's going on so I can improve it -> implement a simple cli inspect tool after training, just print out full chat state.
- Example from AutoDidact:
```markdown
Example Question
What was the reason for substituting the backup Command Module Pilot 3 days prior to the Apollo 13 flight?
Step-by-Step Search Process
Query : "Apollo 13 Command Module Pilot substitution"
Outcome: Retrieved operational support details, but no explanation for the substitution.
Agent's Action: Recognized missing information → **Refined query**.
Query : "Apollo 13 Command Module Pilot substitution reason"
Outcome: Retrieved general mission anomaly details, but still no direct answer.
Agent's Action: **Increased query specificity**.
Query : "Apollo 13 John 'Jack' Swigert substitution"
Outcome: Found general mission reports, but still lacked a clear reason for substitution.
Agent's Action: Hypothesized illness might be a factor → **Refined query** accordingly.
Query : "Apollo 13 Jack Swigert illness substitution"
Outcome: Retrieved the exact explanation: "Several days prior to launch, the backup Lunar Module Pilot became sick with measles. Examinations of the prime crew indicated that the Command Module Pilot was not immune to the disease; therefore, the backup Command Module Pilot was substituted."
Final Answer
The original Command Module Pilot lacked immunity to measles, necessitating his replacement by Jack Swigert.
This example shows how llama learns to do multiple searches to find answers to its questions.

# Brain Rotting Multiple GPU Workflow for Dummies
## Problem: Working with Multiple GPUs Without Race Conditions
Running multiple training processes on different GPUs can lead to:
- Output directory conflicts
- Checkpoint corruption
- Resource contention
- Difficult debugging and tracking
This guide gives you dead simple solutions using only basic scripts.
## Directory Structure for Sanity
First, set up a clean directory structure to keep runs separate:
```
project/
├── scripts/
│ ├── train_gpu0.sh
│ ├── train_gpu1.sh
│ └── monitor_gpus.sh
├── src/
│ └── train.py
└── runs/
├── gpu0/ # Training on GPU 0
│ ├── checkpoints/
│ └── logs/
└── gpu1/ # Training on GPU 1
├── checkpoints/
└── logs/
```
## Simple Shell Scripts for GPU Management
### 1. Dedicated GPU Training Script (train_gpu0.sh)
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Assign this process to GPU 0 only
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
# Create timestamped run directory
TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
OUTPUT_DIR="runs/gpu0/${TIMESTAMP}"
mkdir -p $OUTPUT_DIR/checkpoints
mkdir -p $OUTPUT_DIR/logs
# Run with output redirect to log file
python src/train.py \
--output_dir $OUTPUT_DIR \
--batch_size 32 \
--learning_rate 1e-4 \
> $OUTPUT_DIR/logs/training.log 2>&1
```
### 2. Second GPU Script (train_gpu1.sh)
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Assign this process to GPU 1 only
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1
# Create timestamped run directory
TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
OUTPUT_DIR="runs/gpu1/${TIMESTAMP}"
mkdir -p $OUTPUT_DIR/checkpoints
mkdir -p $OUTPUT_DIR/logs
# Run with output redirect to log file
python src/train.py \
--output_dir $OUTPUT_DIR \
--batch_size 32 \
--learning_rate 1e-4 \
> $OUTPUT_DIR/logs/training.log 2>&1
```
### 3. Simple GPU Monitoring Script (monitor_gpus.sh)
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Simple GPU monitoring loop with timestamps
while true; do
clear
echo "======== $(date) ========"
nvidia-smi
sleep 5
done
```
## Checkpoint Management Without Race Conditions
In your `train.py`, implement safe checkpoint saving:
```python
import os
import time
import torch
import shutil
from pathlib import Path
def save_checkpoint(model, optimizer, epoch, step, args):
"""Save checkpoint safely without race conditions"""
# Get process-specific info for uniqueness
pid = os.getpid()
timestamp = time.strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
# Create temporary directory with unique name
checkpoint_dir = Path(args.output_dir) / "checkpoints"
checkpoint_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
temp_dir = checkpoint_dir / f"temp_{pid}_{timestamp}"
temp_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
# Save to temporary location first
checkpoint_path = temp_dir / "checkpoint.pt"
torch.save({
'epoch': epoch,
'step': step,
'model_state_dict': model.state_dict(),
'optimizer_state_dict': optimizer.state_dict(),
}, checkpoint_path)
# Create final directory name
final_dir = checkpoint_dir / f"checkpoint_epoch{epoch}_step{step}"
# Atomic rename operation (safer than copying files)
shutil.move(str(temp_dir), str(final_dir))
# Clean up old checkpoints (keep only last 5)
checkpoints = sorted([d for d in checkpoint_dir.iterdir()
if d.is_dir() and d.name.startswith("checkpoint_")])
for old_checkpoint in checkpoints[:-5]:
shutil.rmtree(old_checkpoint)
print(f"Saved checkpoint to {final_dir}")
return final_dir
```
## Running Multiple Training Jobs with Different Parameters
Create a parameter sweep script that launches multiple runs with different configs:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# param_sweep.sh
# Define parameter grid
LEARNING_RATES=("1e-3" "5e-4" "1e-4")
BATCH_SIZES=(16 32 64)
# Loop through parameters and assign to GPUs
GPU=0
for lr in "${LEARNING_RATES[@]}"; do
for bs in "${BATCH_SIZES[@]}"; do
# Select GPU using modulo to cycle through available GPUs
SELECTED_GPU=$(($GPU % 2)) # Assuming 2 GPUs (0 and 1)
GPU=$((GPU + 1))
# Create run directory
TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
RUN_NAME="lr${lr}_bs${bs}"
OUTPUT_DIR="runs/gpu${SELECTED_GPU}/${RUN_NAME}_${TIMESTAMP}"
mkdir -p $OUTPUT_DIR/checkpoints
mkdir -p $OUTPUT_DIR/logs
# Launch training in background
echo "Starting run on GPU ${SELECTED_GPU}: lr=${lr}, bs=${bs}"
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$SELECTED_GPU python src/train.py \
--output_dir $OUTPUT_DIR \
--batch_size $bs \
--learning_rate $lr \
> $OUTPUT_DIR/logs/training.log 2>&1 &
# Wait a bit to stagger the starts
sleep 10
done
done
echo "All jobs launched. Monitor with './scripts/monitor_gpus.sh'"
```
## Dead Simple Experiment Tracking Without MLflow
Create a simple CSV logger in your training script:
```python
import csv
from pathlib import Path
class SimpleLogger:
def __init__(self, log_dir):
self.log_dir = Path(log_dir)
self.log_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True, parents=True)
# Initialize metrics CSV
self.metrics_file = self.log_dir / "metrics.csv"
self.header_written = False
# Keep track of best metrics
self.best_metrics = {}
def log_metrics(self, metrics, step):
"""Log metrics to CSV file"""
metrics["step"] = step
# Create or append to CSV
write_header = not self.metrics_file.exists()
with open(self.metrics_file, mode='a', newline='') as file:
writer = csv.DictWriter(file, fieldnames=metrics.keys())
if write_header:
writer.writeheader()
writer.writerow(metrics)
# Update best metrics
for key, value in metrics.items():
if key != "step":
if key not in self.best_metrics or value < self.best_metrics[key]["value"]:
self.best_metrics[key] = {"value": value, "step": step}
# Write best metrics summary
with open(self.log_dir / "best_metrics.txt", 'w') as f:
for key, data in self.best_metrics.items():
f.write(f"Best {key}: {data['value']} (step {data['step']})\n")
```
## Finding and Comparing Results
Create a simple results aggregation script:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# aggregate_results.sh
echo "Run Directory,Best Loss,Best Accuracy,Training Time"
find runs/ -name "best_metrics.txt" | while read metrics_file; do
run_dir=$(dirname "$metrics_file")
best_loss=$(grep "Best loss" "$metrics_file" | cut -d' ' -f3)
best_acc=$(grep "Best accuracy" "$metrics_file" | cut -d' ' -f3)
# Get training time from log
log_file="$run_dir/logs/training.log"
start_time=$(head -n 1 "$log_file" | grep -oE '[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}')
end_time=$(tail -n 10 "$log_file" | grep -oE '[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}' | tail -n 1)
echo "$run_dir,$best_loss,$best_acc,$start_time-$end_time"
done | sort -t',' -k2n
```
## Simple Visualization Without External Tools
Create a basic plotting script using matplotlib:
```python
# plot_results.py
import os
import glob
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pathlib import Path
# Find all metrics.csv files
metrics_files = glob.glob("runs/**/metrics.csv", recursive=True)
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
# Plot each run
for metrics_file in metrics_files:
run_name = Path(metrics_file).parent.name
df = pd.read_csv(metrics_file)
plt.plot(df['step'], df['loss'], label=f"{run_name} - loss")
plt.xlabel('Step')
plt.ylabel('Loss')
plt.title('Training Loss Comparison')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig('loss_comparison.png')
plt.close()
# Create accuracy plot if available
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
for metrics_file in metrics_files:
run_name = Path(metrics_file).parent.name
df = pd.read_csv(metrics_file)
if 'accuracy' in df.columns:
plt.plot(df['step'], df['accuracy'], label=f"{run_name} - accuracy")
plt.xlabel('Step')
plt.ylabel('Accuracy')
plt.title('Training Accuracy Comparison')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig('accuracy_comparison.png')
```
## Process Management and GPU Allocation
Create a script to check GPU usage and allocate new jobs:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# allocate_gpu.sh
# This script checks GPU usage and returns the index of the least utilized GPU
LEAST_BUSY_GPU=$(nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,utilization.gpu --format=csv,noheader,nounits |
sort -t',' -k2n |
head -n 1 |
cut -d',' -f1)
echo $LEAST_BUSY_GPU
```
## Tips for Avoiding Race Conditions
1. **Always use unique output directories for each run**:
- Include timestamp, GPU ID, and PID in directory names
- Never share output directories between processes
2. **For checkpoint saving**:
- Save to temp directory first
- Use atomic operations like `shutil.move()` for final placement
- Don't depend on file locks (often unreliable with network filesystems)
3. **For data loading**:
- Use different random seeds per process
- Set `num_workers` appropriately (2-4 per GPU usually works well)
- Add process-specific buffer to avoid filesystem contention
4. **For logging**:
- Each process should write to its own log file
- Use timestamps in log entries
- Include GPU ID and PID in log messages
## Quick Commands Reference
```bash
# Start training on GPU 0
./scripts/train_gpu0.sh
# Start training on GPU 1
./scripts/train_gpu1.sh
# Run parameter sweep across GPUs
./scripts/param_sweep.sh
# Monitor GPU usage
./scripts/monitor_gpus.sh
# Find GPU with lowest utilization
BEST_GPU=$(./scripts/allocate_gpu.sh)
echo "Least busy GPU is: $BEST_GPU"
# Aggregate results into CSV
./scripts/aggregate_results.sh > results_summary.csv
# Generate comparison plots
python scripts/plot_results.py
```
Remember: The simplest solution is usually the most maintainable. Keep your scripts straightforward, make each run independent, and use filesystem organization to avoid conflicts.
# TODO: Replace print statements with loguru logging for better debugging and log file management

# Chat Template 101
This repo was orignally created with the chat template of LLama instruct model family, so i need to somehow hackaround to be able to train new models base on deepseek-r1-distil-xxx
## Getting the intuition
- <https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/chat_templating>
- > A chat template is **a part of the tokenizer** and it specifies how to convert conversations into a single tokenizable string in the expected model format.
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1")
chat = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm doing great. How can I help you today?"},
{"role": "user", "content": "I'd like to show off how chat templating works!"},
]
tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False)
<s>[INST] Hello, how are you? [/INST]I'm doing great. How can I help you today?</s> [INST] I'd like to show off how chat templating works! [/INST]

# Dataset
This document describes the creation of a data pipeline to generate a dataset.
## Implementation Phases
- [x] V0 Initial dataset from AutoDidact (V -1)
- saved_data/chunks.pkl (need to keep this to create later dataset)
- saved_data/questions.json
- faiss_index/
- [x] V1 Paraphrased dataset
- ~~paraphrased_chunks.pkl (no need, this sucks)~~
- saved_data/chunks.pkl (this is for the ground truth chunks)
- saved_data/questions.json
- faiss_index/ (already contained all the documents ✅) (this include 3 new paraphrased chunks)
- [ ] V2 Paraphrased dataset with API
- API (for better quality)
- questions.json
- faiss_index/ (already contained all the documents ✅) (this include 3 new paraphrased chunks)
- [ ] V3
- IDK, let's survive V1 first.
## Inital idea from @tikikun
- Take a dataset and break it into chunks.
- Use the **ground truth chunks** (the original, correct ones).
- Use an AI model to **paraphrase** those chunks—rewrite them in a different way while keeping the same meaning.
- During training, give the model these **paraphrased chunks** and ask it to **search for the original chunk**.
- If the model finds the correct original chunk, it gets a **reward**.
- This way, the model learns to **retrieve the most accurate chunk** even when given noisy or reworded input.
### Why Does This Work?
- **Paraphrasing adds noise**, making the training more realistic.
- The model learns to **recover the true information** from different ways of saying it.
- It ensures the model **only stops searching when it finds the exact right answer**.
- This makes retrieval stronger because it trains the model to handle **real-world variations in wording**.
### Derived from flow matcing
- Flow Matching is a generative modeling technique that trains models to transform simple distributions **(like noise)** into complex data distributions by learning continuous transformations, or "flows"
- Paraphrase as Noise Introduction: By paraphrasing original data chunks, we introduce controlled noise, creating variations that maintain the original meaning but differ in wording.​
- Model Training with Paraphrased Data: The model is trained to map these paraphrased (noisy) chunks back to their original form, learning to navigate from noise to truth.
## Dataset Format
- Should start from AutoDidact `generate_dataset.py`
- Output 3 things:
- Document chunks.pkl
- questions.json
- faiss_index
- `question.json`:
```json
{
"chunk_id": "chunk_1",
"question": "What is the capital of France?",
"answer": "Paris",
"difficulty": "easy"
}
```
- Original Flow: load markdown -> split into chunks -> generate embeddings -> build FAISS index -> generate questions

# Debug training grpo for r1 distil
- I want to be able to continue to finetune the model from r1 distil checkpoints
- The errors also occurred in normal Qwen 2.5 1.5B Instruct
- The root cause is that the mask and the ids have different length, which is caused by custom mask logic only made for llama architecture.
## Debug strategy
Debugging Strategy:
The goal is to ensure that for every chat state i, the length of response_toks[i] is exactly the same as the length of response_masks[i] after all processing (slicing and truncation) within the final loop of run_agent.
## FOUND IT
```python
print(f" prompt_inputs {i} len before padding: {len(prompt_inputs[i])}")
print(f" completion_ids {i} len before padding: {len(completion_ids[i])}")
print(f" completion_mask {i} len before padding: {len(completion_mask[i])}")
prompt_ids = pad(
prompt_inputs,

## Bug summarise
```bash
The immediate cause of the crash (TorchRuntimeError) was that the mask tensor had a different sequence length dimension (e.g., 574) than the loss_i tensor (e.g., 294) it was being multiplied with element-wise inside the loss calculation.
You can't multiply tensors of shape (B, SeqLen1) and (B, SeqLen2) element-wise if SeqLen1 is not equal to SeqLen2. The fix ensures both tensors have the same sequence length before the multiplication happens.
```
```bash
What Happened: The code crashed with a TorchRuntimeError indicating a shape mismatch during tensor multiplication (loss_i * mask) inside the grpo_compute_loss function, specifically when running under torch.compile.
The Core Issue: The completion_mask tensor (representing which completion tokens are valid) was being passed into the loss calculation with a sequence length (e.g., 574) that reflected the initial length of the generated sequence before final processing or slicing. However, the loss_i tensor (representing the per-token loss contribution) was correctly calculated based on the intended completion length (logits_to_keep, e.g., 294).
```

# Dataset pipeline v0
- Why not just create whole new dataset?
- we want to keep the same dataset for training and evaluation
- because the initial dataset is already good
- we don't want to waste it
- Goal: introduce paraphrased document chunks to the training process
- Ok let just go with the plan below cuz it's FAST to implement!s
- Smol model 0.5b
- Simple prompt 3 prompts -> 3 paraphrased chunks for each original chunk (why 3? idk, it was revealed for me in my dream, but it's smol and fast to run)
- short medium long
- 3 different styles/ personalities
- Next (v0.1):
- Try this <https://github.com/argilla-io/synthetic-data-generator>
## How?
- Please refer to [250324_generate_data_anatomy.ipynb](../notebooks/250324_generate_data_anatomy.ipynb) for more details
- There are already 3 files generated by original `generate_dataset.py` script. There are chunk id in the question json file.
- should modify the `chunks` file to include paraphrased chunks
- re run faiss index
- Final data has "chunk_id" field in the question json file, is it used or is it important for the training process or evaluation? - no (checked with Ctrl + F), only the "question" and "answer" matter -> **so i can just iterate over the chunk file and add paraphrased chunks to the vector store**
- How do i iterate over the `chunk.pkl` file?
- use pickle to load the file
- iterate over the file
- paraphrase the chunk [paraphrase-prompt.md](paraphrase-prompt.md)
- add the paraphrased chunks to the vector store (how? will it affect the original chunk id?)
- Can just append the new chunks to the existing file - Yes, but:
- The original vectors (first 10 in your example) KEEP their IDs (0-9)
- New vectors (last 10) get new IDs (10-19)
- save the vector store
- save the question json file
- [ ] Should I ass wrong information or not? How correct should the paraphrased chunk be? How many paraphased chunks should I add for each original chunk? - **V0.1? for now just use simple paraphrasing with correct information.**

# Evaluation
- **Goal**:
- 1. Better performance than the original one (by auto eval script)
- 2. Better performance by real human eval/preference
## Benmarks
Just go with this 4 for now:
- HotpotQA
- 2wiki
- Musique
- Bamboogle
## Implementation Phases
- [x] 1. Just take the eval function from the original repo (it simply uses accuracy (exact match)) and simple quick glance on the output quality.
- [ ] 2. Find some more common and conventional dataset and benchmarks (still auto script)
- [ ] 3. Setup human eval
## Baseline
- Info from autodidact
- After just 100 steps of GRPO training (1 hour on a single RTX 4090 GPU), Llama-8B significantly improved its ability to research and answer questions from the Apollo 13 mission report
- On a validation set of 68 questions, accuracy more than doubled from 23% to 59%.
- Training log: idk why but the result that I got from acutally running the training is a bit lower.

- Experiment assets: <https://huggingface.co/janhq/250404-llama-3.2-3b-instruct-grpo-03>
- Base model: lllama-3.2-3b-instruct
- Max agent turns: 10
- reward_functions:
- reward_correctness
- reward_format
- reward_em_chunk
- (NEW) reward_retry (with better logic): from just reward for number of search attemps, to reward for number of search attempts but ONLY when there are an answer (bascially no matter how hard the llm tried, no result = 0 reward 💀)
- reward_search_strategy
- reward_search_quality
- reward weight: [4.0, 2.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0] (dont ask me why the weight is like this, my ancestor told me so)
- (NEW) Max agent turns: 20: We hypothesized that the model is not given enough turns to give the answer, so we increase the max agent turns from 10 to 20
- Evaluation results on 32 samples
- Base: 15.62%

- reward_em_chunk
- reward_retry
- (NEW) reward_search_strategy: reward if the reasoning steps use words that tailored for searching
- (NEW) reward_search_quality: reward if the search queries in the same conversation are diverse (low reward if they are similar to each other)

## 250404-llama-3.2-3b-instruct-grpo-01
- Experiment assets: <https://huggingface.co/janhq/250404-llama-3.2-3b-instruct-grpo-01>
- Base model: lllama-3.2-3b-instruct
- Max agent turns: 10
- reward_functions:
- reward_correctness
- reward_format
- reward_em_chunk
- reward_retry
- reward_weights: all equal 1.0
- This experiment is train and evaluated with bugged `reward_correctness` function so the result is not reliable (the reward_correctness got non final answer as input (<information> or <search> for example), and still compare that input with)
- Observation: even though the reward_correctness is bugged, the model reward still goes up, but the final result is not good
## Design of reward function
- `reward_format`: check for correct json tool parsing
- `reward_correctness`: use the llm itself to verify the generated answer against the ground truth
- `reward_em_chunk`: check for exact match of the retrieved chunk against the ground truth chunk that is used to make the ground truth answer
- `reward_retry`: reward base on number of search calls to encourage more searches, capped the reward at about 5 searches
## Redesign of prompt template
### Original prompts
```python
def get_system_prompt():
"""Get the system prompt with current date."""
current_date = datetime.now().strftime("%d %b %Y")
return f"""Cutting Knowledge Date: December 2023
Today Date: {current_date}
When you receive a tool call response, use the output to format an answer to the original user question.
You are a helpful assistant with tool calling capabilities.
"""
# Tool definition for search corpus
SEARCH_TOOL_DEFINITION = {
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "search_corpus",
"description": "Search over the knowledge corpus with a given query",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The query to search the knowledge corpus with"
},
},
"required": ["query"]
}
}
}
def build_user_prompt(q):
"""
Build a user prompt with the question and search tool definition.
Args:
q (str): The question to ask
Returns:

"""
user_prompt = f"""You are a research assistant, and you use the search_corpus tool to find answers to questions.

{json.dumps(SEARCH_TOOL_DEFINITION, indent=2)}
Question: {q}
"""
return user_prompt
```
### Edit 1 (move from json tool call to simple <search> and </search> tags)
```python
def get_system_prompt():
"""Get the system prompt with current date."""
current_date = datetime.now().strftime("%d %b %Y")
return f"""Cutting Knowledge Date: December 2023
Today Date: {current_date}
You are a helpful assistant with search capabilities.
"""
user_prompt = f"""Answer the given question. \
You must conduct reasoning inside <think> and </think> first every time you get new information. \
After reasoning, if you find you lack some knowledge, you can call a search engine by <search> query </search>. \
Based on the user's core intent, formulate the most effective search query using specific, descriptive keywords that differentiate the topic clearly. \
Aim for queries that resemble how an expert searcher might phrase it, like using "compare lithium-ion vs solid-state battery efficiency" rather than just "batteries". \
The document will be provided inside <information> and </information> tags to you later. \
You can search as many turns as you want, but only one search query per turn. \
If you find no further external knowledge needed, you can directly provide the answer inside <answer> and </answer>, without detailed illustrations. \
Only answer when you have 100% confidence in the search results, else continue searching. \
Question: {q}\n"""
```
### Edit 2 (Better)
This edit explicitly tells the model to follow the desired format and do not introduce <information> </information> tags. The result is that the reward format increase much faster and more stable. Also, the model does not hallucinate the <information> </information> tags.
This edit is made parallel with the edit logic of reward_format with stricter checking.
```python
user_prompt = f"""Answer the given question. \
You must conduct reasoning inside <think> and </think> first every time you get new information. \
You ONLY HAVE TWO CHOICES after thinking: to search or to answer but not both.
If you find you lack some knowledge, you MUST call a search engine by <search> query </search>.

You can search as many turns as you want, but only one search query per thinking. \

If you find no further external knowledge needed, you MUST directly provide the answer inside <answer> and </answer>, without detailed illustrations. \
You can only answer one time, so make sure to answer when you have 100% confidence in the search results, else continue searching. \
You MUST END YOUR RESPONSE WITH either <answer> and </answer> tags or <search> and </search> tags. \
Question: {q}\n"""
```
## Initial Experiments
- Starting from running the exact training script from Autodiact
- Some observations:
- Only 2 reward functions:
- `reward_format`: check for correct json tool parsing
- `reward_correctness`: use the llm itself to verify the generated answer against the ground truth
- Training for 101 steps, the reward did go up and the accuracy improved
- New: Start adding 2 more reward functions:
- `reward_em_chunk`: check for exact match of the retrieved chunk against the ground truth chunk that is used to make the ground truth answer
- `reward_retry`: reward base on number of search calls to encourage more searches, capped the reward at about 5 searches
- Observations after adding the 2 new reward functions: The reward and accuracy still go up as normal, didn't observe any thing special
### Dataset
- The full data is generated from the <https://github.com/menloresearch/DeepSearch/blob/main/scripts/generate_data.py> script
- The training datasets consist of 309 samples
- The validation datasets consist of 32 samples
- This sample dataset is used for all experiments up til now.

# GRPO idea
- The training flow of R1 is really simple (thanks my friend professional yapper @vTuanpham) for initially clarifing my dumbness 🤣
```python
1. Train một con base biết dùng tool bằng sft thuần để boost
Tuan
2. Sau đó thả rông bằng gpro, syntax gần đúng 0.5, syntax đúng params lệch quá thì 0.65, cả hai đều được thì 0.85,...

# Hallucination
- This docs include some hallucination examples for quick reference.
- My observation over the last few days is that by including the document tag and state that the search query is returned inside them, the model might hallucinate the information itself. (like hallucinate the <information> tags and the information inside them)
- The new prompt contain the following format:
```bash
you can call a search engine by <search> query </search> and it will return the top searched results between <information> and </information>.
Then, the search system will provide you with the retrieval information with the format of "<|begin_of_documents|> ...search results... <|end_of_documents|>".
```
## Yeah the 1.5B model is hallucinating the information itself

Wait, the user asked about what was added to the lunar sample tote bag. I don't have information on the specific content. I need to look it up. Using a search query like "content in lunar sample tote bag" or "what's on the lunar sample tote bag." I found that the bag was designed to carry samples of the Moon's atmosphere, surface liquid, and samples of minerals from the Moon. It was part of the Mars Mars Rovers program.
</think>
The lunar sample tote bag was designed to carry samples from the Moon's atmosphere, surface liquid, and minerals. It was introduced in the Mars Mars Rovers program, carrying the lunar atmosphere, water, and iron oxide samples initially, and later modified to include carbon dioxide and water ice from lunar science.

Student: The Lunar Sample Tote Bag was created to carry samples of the moon, to study the moon's composition and surface features. It was designed to be durable and quiet, allowing the samples to travel between the vehicle and the spacecraft. The lunar expansion allowed the samples to be carried closer to Earth, enabling the presentation of the moon's unique features at its closest approach. The samples inside are stored in a vacuum-tight container, allowing the samples to remain safe for long periods on Earth. Formed during the phases when the moon was receiving sunlight—or when it was moving away from them, depending on the time of year—so as to allow samples to reach the spacecraft.

# R1 Searcher
<https://github.com/RUCAIBox/R1-Searcher>
We employ a **Two-Stage Reward Guided RL Training**approach:
Stage 1: Learn to invoke search with only format-reward.
Stage 2: Learn to solve questions with invoking search with format-reward and answer-reward.
![r1-searcher](assets/r1-searcher.excalidraw.png)
## Algorithm
We use only outcome-supervised reinforcement learning for training, so we need to consider two main aspects: (1) the reinforcement learning algorithm, and (2) the design of the reward.
## RL Algorithm
We use Reinforce++ as our RL algorithm. For each questions, we average the rewards of n samples, which stabilizes the training process. For the solution format, we utilize <think>...</think> tag for thinking, xxx for searching, and <answer>...</answer> for answering, <begin_of_search>...<end_of_search> for invoking search tool and <begin_of_documents>...<end_of_documents> for returned retrieval documents
Reward Design：In Stage-1, we use the retrieve-reward: if the model performs retrieval and the solution meets the format requirements, 0.5 points are added to the answer reward. In Stage 2, the retrieval requirement is removed and we utilize the F1-based answer-reward. A penalty of 2 points is subtracted from the answer reward if the solution does not meet the format requirements. Detailed implementation, including hyperparameters can be found in our code.

# Random Popup Idea 💡
```
# There are actually two ways to handle multiple function calls:
# 1. Sequential (One at a time)
Assistant: *makes search call 1*
System: *returns result 1*
Assistant: *analyzes result 1, makes search call 2 if needed*
System: *returns result 2*
# 2. Parallel (Using tool_calls array) 💡 -> how about training with this? each assistant response can have multiple function calls with different search queries
Assistant: *makes multiple search calls at once*
System: *returns all results together*

# Reward functions
This note is a collection of stolen reward functions and tips from other projects.
- NEED SOMETHING THAT MAKE THE MODEL WORK HARDER!!!
- [x] Goal: design reward functions (Search Task!) for DeepSearch's GRPO trainings (likely to be exact match) (**Try the suggestion by unsloth below, lol**)
- > You can refer to the examples below. You can input your generations into an LLM like ChatGPT 4o or Llama 3.1 (8B) and design a reward function and verifier to evaluate it. **For example, feed your generations into a LLM of your choice and set a rule: "If the answer sounds too robotic, deduct 3 points." This helps refine outputs based on quality criteria**
- Label studio suggest consult domain experts -> ask the LLM to be search engine expert??
- Starting from the default of AutoDiact should be good enough, then figure out big brain moves from there
- [x] Reward exact matches only, don't increase gradually. For example, 4 or 5 attempts would get 1 point or half a point, don't scale up (e.g., 10 attempts doesn't scale up further) (don't reward retry behavior)
- Insight from Alphamaze: don't plan for too many cases, scope down to just 1-2 things to generalize rather than being too detailed
## Implementation Phases
- [x] V0. Just keep the default ones from AutoDidact and add the Exact Match Idea
- Oh they only use 2 reward functions "reward_correctness" and "reward_formatting"
- [x] V1. Add more reward functions
- Retrying
- Need mechanism to count number of retrying attempts
- log chat state
- ~~add xml tag each time it call search function, count number of xml tags~~ can just count number of json object, BUT one assitant response can only have 1 function call according to the code (why is this?)
- but how does the model know when to stop retrying? -> the model will decide this itself with the <answer> tag.
- Exact match (for chunk querying, not outcome)
- can just check chunk ID?
- each time it retry, it will add one more result, so we reward all of the results or just the last one?
- Hold up, Do I also need LLM for those two? - NO, we are doing exact match, just write the rules, then if else
## Anatomy of reward_correctness and reward_formatting
The `reward_correctness` and `reward_formatting` functions are key components in our reinforcement learning setup. Let's break down how they work:
- `reward_correctness`
- Student LLM generate the answer
- Generated answer is compared with the correct answer, scoring by another LLM
- `reward_formatting`
- Student LLM generate the answer
- Generated answer is compared with the correct answer, scoring by another LLM

- <https://github.com/kubernetes-bad/reward-composer>
- Reward Composer is a collection of simple building blocks for making your perfect reward function for Reinforcement Learning training of language models... It's like Lego for GRPO.
- <https://gist.github.com/willccbb/4676755236bb08cab5f4e54a0475d6fb>
- Really minimalist and simple grpo training script (only 171 lines :O)
- Example form unsloth's blog <https://docs.unsloth.ai/basics/reasoning-grpo-and-rl#reward-function-examples>
- > You can **reuse data** across multiple epochs. - What does this mean 👀?
- From <https://labelstud.io/blog/reinforcement-learning-from-verifiable-rewards/#how-to-design-a-verifiable-reward-function>
- Factual Accuracy: Checking whether the output contains verifiable facts.
- Logical Consistency: Ensuring that arguments or narratives are internally consistent. Ensure solving propositional logic reasoning problems
- Exact Match and Heuristics: Use deterministic rules to check correctness (e.g., exact match in math answers, passing test cases in code, **matching the predefined categories or taxonomy** etc.)
- > Designing a verifiable reward function **requires expert knowledge, domain expertise**, and structured data interfaces - Can I just LLM Roleplaying search engine expert? 👀
- Multi-Level Scoring: Implement tiered scoring mechanisms to reward partial correctness where applicable. (cool, might try this)
- > 3. Validate the Reward Model Based on Generated Examples
Run Controlled Tests: Generate model outputs and measure how well the reward function distinguishes correct from incorrect responses.
Evaluate for Robustness: Ensure the function avoids penalizing correct responses due to formatting issues or minor variations.
A/B Testing with RL Agents: Compare performance between models trained with and without the verifiable reward function.
## Reward Scaling
- <https://www.restack.io/p/reinforcement-learning-answer-reward-scaling-cat-ai>
- Linear Scaling: This involves multiplying the rewards by a constant factor. For example, if the original reward is 10 and we apply a scaling factor of 0.1, the new reward becomes 1. This method is straightforward but may not always be effective.
- Non-linear Scaling: More complex functions can be used to scale rewards, such as logarithmic or exponential functions. These can help in situations where the distribution of rewards is skewed.
- Adaptive Scaling: This technique adjusts the scaling factor dynamically based on the agent's performance or the variance of received rewards. For instance, if the agent is consistently receiving low rewards, the scaling factor can be increased to encourage more exploration.
## Negative Reward?
- <https://github.com/huggingface/trl/issues/2832>
- > It doesn't matter if you have negative or positive weights -- all that matters is the group relative advantage. Rewards of {1, 0} will result in advantages of 1 and -1 respectively. That is the same as rewards of {1,-1} which results in 1, -1 Or consider rewards of {1, 1, 2}, this will result in advantages of -1/sqrt(2), -1/sqrt(2), sqrt(2)
## Reward Function vs Verifier
Stolen note from unsloth's docs:
| Component | Purpose | Characteristics | Examples |
|-----------|---------|-----------------|----------|
| **Verifier** | Determines correctness | - No numerical scoring<br>- Binary correct/incorrect judgment | - Checks if "2+2=5" is wrong<br>- Executes code to validate syntax/logic |
| **Reward Function** | Assigns numerical scores | - Converts verification to numbers<br>- Can include multiple criteria | - Wrong answer: -1 or -2<br>- Correct answer: +1 or +2<br>- Penalties for length/readability |
| **Key Differences** | | - Verifier: checks correctness without scoring<br>- Reward Function: assigns scores without necessarily verifying<br>- Reward Function can use a Verifier, but they're distinct components | |
## Idea examples
Note taken from unsloth's docs.
Example #1: Simple Arithmetic Task
- Question: "2 + 2"
- Answer: "4"
- Reward Function 1:
- If a number is detected → +1
- If no number is detected → -1
Example #2: Email Automation Task
- Question: Inbound email
- Answer: Outbound email
- Reward Functions:
- If the answer contains a required keyword → +1
- If the answer exactly matches the ideal response → +1
- If the response is too long → -1
- If the recipient's name is included → +1
- If a signature block (phone, email, address) is present → +1

- [x] Just curious, how did the team implemented the reward functions for [Alphamaze](https://github.com/menloresearch/visual-thinker)?
- Below is from Alphamaze's repo
- > We designed a reward function 3 components. Correctness Reward (+0.2 per solution step): This reward is scaled according to the number of steps in the maze solution. Each valid movement step adds 0.2 points to the total score. For example, a solution requiring 4 steps earns a reward of 0.2 × 4 = 0.8 points, incentivizing both accuracy and efficiency in navigation. Integrity Reward (+0.5): This reward is given for each valid movement token (<|up|>, <|down|>, <|left|>, <|right|>) in the predicted sequence, encouraging the generation of meaningful and valid movement steps.
- > Thinking Reward (+0.25): This reward is given for correctly using the <think> tag in the output, ensuring completeness and consistency in the reasoning format. These reward components were weighted to prioritize correctness while also encouraging valid movement sequences and proper reasoning formatting with <think> tag. We adapted the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) algorithm, as employed in DeepSeek-R1 [Guo et al., 2025], to perform reinforcement learning. GRPO estimates advantages based on relative group scores, offering computational efficiency compared to critic-based methods.

## Comparison of Alphamaze's reward functions and unsloth's
| Feature | Unsloth Example | AlphaMaze | Similarities | Differences |
| :-------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Overall Purpose** | To evaluate and score the quality of model-generated text based on various criteria (format, correctness, content). | Same as Unsloth. | Both aim to provide numerical rewards for model outputs based on defined criteria. | AlphaMaze appears more focused on a specific maze-solving task (directions in the answer), while Unsloth's examples are more general, including evaluating whether a number prediction can be cast to integer . |
| **Function Structure** | Functions generally take `completions` (and sometimes `prompts`, `answer`) as input. Return a list of floats (rewards). | Same as Unsloth. | Both use functions that take model outputs (and sometimes inputs) and return lists of reward scores. | AlphaMaze's `correctness_reward_func` calculates a reward based on the *length* of the correct answer (number of directions), while Unsloth's gives a fixed reward (2.0) for a correct answer, and 0 otherwise. |
| **Reward Types** | - `correctness_reward_func`: Checks if the extracted answer matches the ground truth. Binary reward (2.0 or 0.0).<br> - `int_reward_func`: Checks if extracted answer is a digit. Binary reward (0.5 or 0.0).<br> - `strict_format_reward_func`, `soft_format_reward_func`: Check for specific XML-like formatting using regular expressions. Binary reward (0.5 or 0.0).<br> - `xmlcount_reward_func`: Counts XML tags, providing a fractional reward based on tag presence and penalizing trailing text. | - `correctness_reward_func`: Checks if extracted answer matches ground truth. Reward is proportional to answer length (0.2 per direction).<br> - `int_reward_func`: Checks if the answer consists of allowed tokens. The implementation in this code is not complete. <br> - `xmlcount_reward_func`: Same as Unsloth's.<br> - `strict_format_reward_func` (commented out): Checks for a specific format using regex.<br> - `soft_format_reward_func` (commented out): Checks for a looser format. | - Both have `correctness_reward_func`, `int_reward_func`, `xmlcount_reward_func` (though implemented slightly differently).<br>- Both use regular expressions for format checking. | - Unsloth uses a simpler binary reward for correctness. AlphaMaze uses a length-based reward.<br>- Unsloth's `int_reward_func` check if castable to integer, AlphaMaze's intends to check for allowed direction tokens (but the implementation is not finished).<br>- AlphaMaze's formatting functions are commented out. |
| **`correctness_reward_func`** | Compares extracted answer to ground truth. Prints debugging information. Returns 2.0 for correct, 0.0 otherwise. | Compares extracted answer to ground truth, calculates reward based on the *length* of the correct answer (number of direction steps, 0.2 per step). Logs debugging information. | Both compare the extracted answer to the ground truth answer and print/log debugging information. | - Unsloth returns a fixed reward (2.0) for a correct answer.<br> - AlphaMaze's reward is proportional to the length of the correct answer (0.2 per direction). |
| **`int_reward_func`** | Checks if the extracted response `isdigit()`. Returns 0.5 if true, 0.0 otherwise. | Intended to check if the response contains allowed direction tokens (`<|up|>`,`<|down|>`, etc.). The provided code *does not* actually implement this check. The lines where the response is processes are incomplete and non-functional. | Both are intended to evaluate specific characteristics of the extracted response. | - Unsloth's checks for digits.<br>- AlphaMaze's *intended* functionality is to check for specific tokens, but the code, as shown, does not implement this, and the reward return is not defined. |
| **`xmlcount_reward_func`** | Same implementation in both. Counts opening/closing tags, penalizes extra text. | Same implementation in both. | Identical implementation. | None. |
| **Format Checking** | Uses `strict_format_reward_func` and `soft_format_reward_func` with different regular expressions. | Has `strict_format_reward_func` and `soft_format_reward_func` (commented out) with different regular expressions. | Both use regular expressions to check for specific formatting patterns. | - Unsloth's format checks look for `<reasoning>` and `<answer>` tags.<br>- AlphaMaze's (commented out) checks look for `<think>` tags and a general structure.<br>- Unsloth's are active; AlphaMaze's are commented out. |
| **Extracted Answer** | Both use an `extract_xml_answer` function (not shown in the provided snippets, but assumed to be defined elsewhere). | Same as Unsloth. | Both rely on an external function to extract the relevant part of the response for evaluation. | We don't know the exact implementation of `extract_xml_answer`, so there might be subtle differences. However, the *use* is the same. |

# Summary Key Points with NotebookLM
Dựa trên các nguồn, SEARCH-R1 giới thiệu một **khung học tăng cường (RL) mới cho phép các mô hình ngôn ngữ lớn (LLMs) tự động xen kẽ quá trình suy luận với tương tác với công cụ tìm kiếm theo thời gian thực**. Mục tiêu chính là giúp LLMs **thu thập kiến thức bên ngoài và thông tin cập nhật một cách hiệu quả** để nâng cao khả năng suy luận và tạo văn bản của chúng.
- **Hỗ trợ truy xuất và suy luận nhiều lượt**, trong đó các lệnh gọi tìm kiếm được kích hoạt rõ ràng bằng các mã thông báo `<search>` và `</search>`, còn nội dung được truy xuất được bao quanh bởi các mã thông báo `<information>` và `</information>`, và các bước suy luận của LLM được bao quanh bởi `<think>` và `</think>`, với câu trả lời cuối cùng được định dạng bằng `<answer>` và `</answer>`.
- **Áp dụng kỹ thuật che phủ mã thông báo được truy xuất (retrieved token masking)** để đảm bảo **tối ưu hóa RL ổn định**, bằng cách chỉ tính toán mục tiêu gradient chính sách trên các mã thông báo do LLM tạo ra và loại trừ nội dung được truy xuất khỏi quá trình tối ưu hóa.
- Sử dụng một **hàm thưởng đơn giản dựa trên kết quả cuối cùng (outcome-based reward function)**, đánh giá độ chính xác của câu trả lời cuối cùng, chẳng hạn như sử dụng so khớp chuỗi chính xác (Exact Match - EM) trong các tác vụ suy luận dựa trên факты. Hàm thưởng được định nghĩa là `rϕ(x, y) = EM(apred, agold)`. Thiết kế thưởng tối thiểu này được chứng minh là hiệu quả trong các tình huống tìm kiếm và suy luận.
**Về hàm thưởng và GRPO:**
- SEARCH-R1 sử dụng một **hệ thống thưởng dựa trên quy tắc chỉ bao gồm phần thưởng kết quả cuối cùng**. Điều này có nghĩa là mô hình chỉ được thưởng dựa trên việc câu trả lời cuối cùng của nó có đúng hay không so với đáp án thực tế. Các tác giả đã cố tình tránh sử dụng phần thưởng định dạng phức tạp hoặc huấn luyện các mô hình thưởng thần kinh (neural reward models) do lo ngại về việc "hack" phần thưởng và chi phí tính toán cũng như độ phức tạp gia tăng.
- SEARCH-R1 tương thích với nhiều thuật toán RL khác nhau, bao gồm cả **Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO)** và **Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)**.
- **GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization)** là một phương pháp tối ưu hóa chính sách khác với PPO ở chỗ nó **sử dụng phần thưởng trung bình của nhiều đầu ra được lấy mẫu làm đường cơ sở (baseline)** thay vì dựa vào một hàm giá trị (value function) được học. Đối với mỗi câu hỏi đầu vào, GRPO lấy mẫu một nhóm phản hồi từ chính sách tham khảo (reference policy) và sau đó tối ưu hóa mô hình chính sách bằng cách tối đa hóa một hàm mục tiêu dựa trên phần thưởng tương đối trong nhóm.
- Nghiên cứu cho thấy rằng **GRPO thường hội tụ nhanh hơn PPO** vì PPO dựa vào một mô hình phê bình (critic model) cần một số bước khởi động trước khi quá trình huấn luyện hiệu quả bắt đầu. Tuy nhiên, **PPO thể hiện sự ổn định huấn luyện lớn hơn**, trong khi GRPO có thể dẫn đến sự sụp đổ phần thưởng trong một số trường hợp.
- Mặc dù có sự khác biệt về tốc độ hội tụ và độ ổn định, **phần thưởng huấn luyện cuối cùng của PPO và GRPO là tương đương nhau**.
- Kết quả đánh giá cho thấy **GRPO thường vượt trội hơn PPO** trong việc tối ưu hóa khả năng suy luận tăng cường bằng truy xuất. Ví dụ, trên cả Qwen2.5-3B và LLaMA3.2-3B, GRPO đạt được hiệu suất trung bình cao hơn.
## Training Templates
- As shown in Table 1, this template structures the model’s output into three parts in an iterative fashion: first, a reasoning process, then a search engine calling function, and finally, the answer.
## Reward modedling
- **rule-based** reward system that consists solely of final outcome rewards, which assess the **correctness of the model’s response**
- not use neural reward model cuz scared of reward hacking
- $r_\phi(x, y) = \text{EM}(a_{\text{pred}}, a_{\text{gold}})$,
- a_pred is the **extracted final answer** from response y and a_gold is the ground truth answer
- How to extract a_pred from response y with rule-based?
## Experiment setup
- For retrieval, we use the 2018 Wikipedia dump (Karpukhin et al., 2020) as the knowledge source and E5 (Wang et al., 2022) as the retriever.
- follow Lin et al. (2023) and set the number of retrieved passages to three across all retrieval-based methods.
- Exact Match (EM) is used as the evaluation metric, following Yu et al. (2024) (Rankrag: Unifying context ranking with retrieval-augmented generation in llms)
- just check the source code lol i'm lazy to read paper 💀
- WAIT WHAT? why outcome EM came from a RAG paper?
