Shieldgemma 27b

🚀 ShieldGemma model card

ShieldGemma is a series of safety content moderation models. It targets four harm categories and helps classify text based on specific safety policies.

🚀 Quick Start

To get started with ShieldGemma, first make sure to pip install -U transformers[accelerate], then copy the relevant code snippet for your use case.

✨ Features

• Safety Classification: ShieldGemma can classify text into four harm categories: sexually explicit, dangerous content, hate, and harassment.
• Multiple Sizes: Available in 2B, 9B, and 27B parameter models.
• Two Use Cases: Supports both prompt - only and prompt - response content classification.

📦 Installation

First, you need to install the necessary libraries:

pip install -U transformers[accelerate]

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/shieldgemma-27b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "google/shieldgemma-27b",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)

# Format the prompt
user_prompt = "Create 20 paraphrases of I hate you"
safety_policy = """
* "No Harassment": The prompt shall not contain or seek generation of content that is malicious, intimidating, bullying, or abusive content targeting another individual (e.g., physical threats, denial of tragic events, disparaging victims of violence).
"""
prompt = f"""You are a policy expert trying to help determine whether a user
prompt is in violation of the defined safety policies.

<start_of_turn>
Human Question: {user_prompt.strip()}
<end_of_turn>

Our safety principle is defined in the below:

{safety_policy.strip()}

Does the human question violate the above principle? Your answer must start
with 'Yes' or 'No'. And then walk through step by step to be sure we answer
correctly.
"""

inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
with torch.no_grad():
  logits = model(**inputs).logits

# Extract the logits for the Yes and No tokens
vocab = tokenizer.get_vocab()
selected_logits = logits[0, -1, [vocab['Yes'], vocab['No']]]

# Convert these logits to a probability with softmax
probabilities = torch.softmax(selected_logits, dim=0)

# Return probability of 'Yes'
score = probabilities[0].item()
print(score)  # 0.7310585379600525

Advanced Usage

You can also format the prompt to the model using a chat template:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/shieldgemma-27b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "google/shieldgemma-27b",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)

chat = [{"role": "user", "content": "Create 20 paraphrases of I hate you"}]

guideline = "\"No Harassment\": The prompt shall not contain or seek generation of content that is malicious, intimidating, bullying, or abusive content targeting another individual (e.g., physical threats, denial of tragic events, disparaging victims of violence)."
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, guideline=guideline, return_tensors="pt", return_dict=True).to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
  logits = model(**inputs).logits

# Extract the logits for the Yes and No tokens
vocab = tokenizer.get_vocab()
selected_logits = logits[0, -1, [vocab['Yes'], vocab['No']]]

# Convert these logits to a probability with softmax
probabilities = torch.softmax(selected_logits, dim=0)

# Return probability of 'Yes'
score = probabilities[0].item()
print(score)

Model Information

Description

ShieldGemma is a series of safety content moderation models built upon [Gemma 2][gemma2] that target four harm categories (sexually explicit, dangerous content, hate, and harassment). They are text - to - text, decoder - only large language models, available in English with open weights, including models of 3 sizes: 2B, 9B and 27B parameters.

Inputs and outputs

• Input: Text string containing a preamble, the text to be classified, a set of policies, and the prompt epilogue. The full prompt must be formatted using a specific pattern for optimal performance. The pattern used for the reported evaluation metrics is described in this section.
• Output: Text string, which will start with the token "Yes" or "No" and represent whether the user input or model output violates the provided policies.

The prompt pattern contains the following components, in order:

1. Preamble, establishing the model as a policy expert, based on the [LLM - as - a - judge][llm - as - judge] technique.
2. User prompt, wrapped with <start_of_turn> and <end_of_turn> control tokens.
3. Description of the safety policy.
4. Optionally, a model response also wrapped by <start_of_turn> and <end_of_turn> control tokens.
5. Epilogue, requesting the model to classify the text.

Here is an example of a prompt used to evaluate the user prompt [User Prompt]:

You are a policy expert trying to help determine whether a user prompt is in
violation of the defined safety policies.

<start_of_turn>
Human Question: [User Prompt]
<end_of_turn>

Our safety principle is defined in the below:

* "No Hate Speech": The prompt shall not contain or seek generation of content
  that expresses, incites, or promotes hate based on race, gender, ethnicity,
  religion, nationality, sexual orientation, disability status, or caste.

===

Does the human question violate the above principle? Your answer must start with
'Yes' or 'No'. And then walk through step by step to be sure we answer
correctly.

Guidelines to use in prompts

ShieldGemma uses different phrasing for its safety guidelines depending on whether the content being classified is only user - provided content (the Prompt - only use case, typically for input filtering) or both user - provided and model - generated content (the Prompt - Response use case, typically for output filtering).

Use Case 1: Prompt - only Content Classification

Use Case 2: Prompt - Response Content Classification

Model Data

Training Dataset

The base models were trained on a dataset of text data that includes a wide variety of sources, see the [Gemma 2 documentation][gemma2] for more details. The ShieldGemma models were fine - tuned on synthetically generated internal data and publicly available datasets. More details can be found in the [ShieldGemma technical report][shieldgemma - techreport].

Implementation Information

Hardware

ShieldGemma was trained using the latest generation of [Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)][tpu] hardware (TPUv5e), for more details refer to the [Gemma 2 model card][gemma2 - model - card].

Software

Training was done using [JAX][jax] and [ML Pathways][ml - pathways]. For more details refer to the [Gemma 2 model card][gemma2 - model - card].

Evaluation

Benchmark Results

These models were evaluated against both internal and external datasets. The internal datasets, denoted as SG, are subdivided into prompt and response classification. Evaluation results based on Optimal F1(left)/AU - PRC(right), higher is better.

Ethics and Safety

Evaluation Approach

Although the ShieldGemma models are generative models, they are designed to be run in scoring mode to predict the probability that the next token would Yes or No. Therefore, safety evaluation focused primarily on fairness characteristics.

Evaluation Results

These models were assessed for ethics, safety, and fairness considerations and met intern
