Finding Near-duplicates

The find-near-duplicates.py function can be used to identify duplicates and near-duplicates in an instruction dataset. For example,

python find-near-duplicates.py --json_file instruction-examples.json

scikit-learn version: 1.3.1

Creating Passive Voice Entries

The create-passive-voice-entries.ipynb notebook uses OpenAI's GPT-4 to create "passive voice" entries for an instruction dataset, as shown in the example below

{  
   'instruction': 'Identify the verb in the following sentence',
   'input': 'The cat sleeps on the couch.',
   'output': 'The verb in the sentence is "sleeps."',
   'output_2': 'The sentence is "sleeps."'   #  <---- Newly created entry
}
