# FinQA Qwen2.5-7B QLoRA

A QLoRA-trained PEFT adapter for structured financial question answering over Natively Extended FinQA.

Base model:

`Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct`

QLoRA achieved the highest final-test accuracy of all six methods in the accompanying study.

## Official Result

| Metric | Final Test |
|---|---:|
| Execution Accuracy | **73.32%** |
| Program Accuracy | **68.53%** |
| Parse Success | **100.00%** |
| Parse Failures | 0 |
| Average Latency | 0.5657 s/example |

Selected checkpoint:

`epoch_2_adapter`

Epoch 2 was selected using development execution accuracy before final test evaluation.

## Intended Input

This adapter was trained on full expanded FinQA context:

```text
question
+ pre_text
+ table
+ post_text
        ↓
FinQA program
````

Training target:

`qa.program`

The selected prompt is included in this repository as:

`S2_financial_analyst_operation_reader.json`

## QLoRA Training Configuration

Base-model quantization during training:

```text
load_in_4bit:        true
quantization type:   NF4
compute dtype:       bfloat16
double quantization: true
```

PEFT adapter:

```text
rank:        64
alpha:       32
dropout:     0.05
bias:        none
task type:   CAUSAL_LM
```

Target modules:

```text
q_proj
k_proj
v_proj
o_proj
gate_proj
up_proj
down_proj
```

## Official Training Burden

```text
Training time: approximately 19.28 hours
Training cost: approximately $36.43
Epochs completed: 3
```

## QLoRA vs. Quantized Inference

QLoRA describes how the adapter was trained.

The released artifact is a PEFT adapter, not a standalone quantized copy of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct.

The base model can be loaded in standard precision for inference or optionally loaded in a supported 4-bit configuration.

## Standard Loading

```bash
pip install torch transformers peft accelerate safetensors
```

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel

BASE_MODEL = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct"
ADAPTER = "Mr-Rosen/Accuracy-Is-Not-Enough-FinQA-QLoRA"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(BASE_MODEL)

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    BASE_MODEL,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(
    base_model,
    ADAPTER,
)

model.eval()
```

## Optional 4-Bit Base-Model Loading

```bash
pip install bitsandbytes
```

```python
import torch
from transformers import (
    AutoModelForCausalLM,
    AutoTokenizer,
    BitsAndBytesConfig,
)
from peft import PeftModel

BASE_MODEL = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct"
ADAPTER = "Mr-Rosen/Accuracy-Is-Not-Enough-FinQA-QLoRA"

quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=True,
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(BASE_MODEL)

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    BASE_MODEL,
    quantization_config=quantization_config,
    device_map="auto",
)

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(
    base_model,
    ADAPTER,
)

model.eval()
```

## Prepare Input

Use:

```text
qa.question
pre_text
table
post_text
```

through the official `S2_financial_analyst_operation_reader` template.

Do not expose:

```text
qa.program
qa.exe_ans
qa.gold_inds
```

during normal validation or test inference.

## Generate

After constructing the exact `rendered_prompt`:

```python
inputs = tokenizer(
    rendered_prompt,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=256,
        do_sample=False,
    )

generated = output[0, inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]

print(
    tokenizer.decode(
        generated,
        skip_special_tokens=True,
    )
)
```

## Expected Output

```json
["divide(", "637", "const_5", ")", "EOF"]
```

## Evaluation

Convert parsed output to the standard FinQA prediction structure and score it with the original FinQA evaluator.

## Limitations

The 73.32% result is specific to the Natively Extended FinQA test set and the experimental configuration used in the accompanying study.

Broader financial-document performance requires separate evaluation.

## License

The adapter is MIT licensed.

The base Qwen model remains under its upstream license.
