KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
1. Dataset Development:
• Curated organic datasets from reputable sources, covering 14 fallacy categories.
• Created a synthetic data generation pipeline, expanding the dataset to over 10,000 examples per category.
• Ensured diversity across multiple domains while maintaining consistency in fallacy representation.
2. Model Fine-tuning:
• Utilized the Anyscale platform to fine-tune Llama 2 and 3 models on the custom dataset.
• Implemented systematic approaches for model training and evaluation.
3. Tool Development:
• Developed Python scripts for data generation, validation, and model testing.
RESULTS AND IMPACT
