BotForge: An Open-Source NLP Solutions Hub

Welcome to BotForge, an open-source project dedicated to advancing NLP-based solutions. This repository offers a series of challenges, each tagged with a level and a problem statement (PS) number, to guide contributors through various aspects of natural language processing and AI-driven conversation systems. Whether you're interested in prompt engineering, building interactive chatbots, or fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), BotForge provides a platform for developing and sharing innovative solutions.

Task Levels Overview

For more details of each Level refer the README.md under appropriate directory (Level0, Level1, Level2, or Level3)

Level 0: Prompt Engineering (PS 0.1)

  • Objective: Convince an AI to accept a false fact by iteratively refining a well-crafted prompt. This task explores prompt engineering and its impact on AI behavior.

  • Problem Statement:

    • Create a prompt that introduces a completely fictional fact.
    • Refine the prompt iteratively through interactions with the AI, adjusting it until the AI accepts the false information.

  • What to Submit:

    • Document each version of the prompt and corresponding AI responses in a step-by-step manner.
    • Provide insights into how and why you changed the prompt in each iteration.
    • Ensure to include all steps so others can replicate the process and observe the same results.
    • Submit all documentation in the Level0 directory as a .txt or .md file.

Level 1: Installing and Running a Chat Interface with an LLM (PS 1.1)

  • Objective: Install and run a pre-built chat interface like Ollama or Oogabooga to interact with open-source LLMs such as LLaMA or GPT-Neo. Document the installation and execution process, and submit screenshots of the interaction along with a brief report.

  • Problem Statement:

    • Successfully install the chosen chat interface.
    • Run and interact with the LLM, ensuring clear documentation and screenshots of the conversation.

  • What to Submit:

    • A folder named after your GitHub username containing screenshots of the chat interface and interaction with the LLM.
    • A detailed documentation file (README.md or .txt) outlining the installation steps, running process, and any challenges faced.
    • Add the screenshots and documentation to the folder, commit your changes, and open a Pull Request on the BotForge repository for review.

Level 2: Developing a Discord Bot (PS 2.1)

  • Objective: Build and deploy a functional Discord bot with one core feature, such as moderation, entertainment, or utility. This task demonstrates the application of NLP-based systems in communication platforms.

  • Problem Statement:

    • Develop a Discord bot using your preferred language or framework.
    • Implement a feature like moderation commands, a game, or a utility (e.g., reminders or notifications).
    • Test the bot on a live Discord server.

  • What to Submit:

    • Share detailed steps to set up the Discord bot, including all configuration files and any necessary APIs or permissions.
    • Include a guide for replicating the deployment process, ensuring that others can launch and test the bot in their own Discord servers.
    • Provide screenshots showing the bot in action, and optionally provide a server invite link where the bot is live.
    • Submit the source code, configuration files, and deployment guide to the Level2 directory.

Level 3: Fine-Tuning a Large Language Model (LLM) (PS 3.1)

  • Objective: Fine-tune a pre-trained LLM to perform a specific task, such as generating text in a custom style or solving a particular type of problem.

  • Problem Statement:

    • Select a pre-trained LLM and fine-tune it for a specific task (e.g., generating text in a particular tone or style).
    • Gather and preprocess the dataset for fine-tuning.
    • Train the model, adjust hyperparameters, and evaluate its performance.

  • What to Submit:

    • Submit a step-by-step guide for replicating the fine-tuning process, including dataset preparation, environment setup, and model training.
    • Provide the fine-tuned model and example outputs to demonstrate the results.
    • Include a README file that explains how to run and test the fine-tuned model, making sure others can replicate the training process and generate similar results.
    • Add all materials to the Level3 directory.
