# IndexLM-0.6B: Index-based Web Content Extraction

## Project Handoff Document

**Paper**: [An Index-based Approach for Efficient and Effective Web Content Extraction](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.06641)  
**Goal**: Fine-tune a SOTA web content extraction model that runs fast on CPU  
**Status**: Dataset prepared & pushed ✅ | Training script ready ✅ | Training NOT yet run ❌

---

## 1. What This Is

The paper introduces **IndexLM** — a model that extracts relevant content from web pages by predicting **index intervals** instead of generating full text. This makes it:
- **10–50× faster** than generative extraction (ReaderLM-v2, Firecrawl, etc.)
- **SOTA on RAG QA** benchmarks (HotpotQA, NQ, TriviaQA, MuSiQue, MultiHopRAG)
- **Tiny**: even the 0.6B version beats all baselines

The original IndexLM weights are **not publicly released**. This project replicates the approach.

### How It Works

1. HTML is cleaned and split into indexed blocks: `[1] <h1>Title</h1>`, `[2] <p>Content...</p>`, etc.
2. The model receives these blocks + a query
3. It outputs index intervals like `[[2,4],[7,7],[10,12]]` — identifying which blocks are relevant
4. The blocks are reassembled into clean HTML/Markdown

Two tasks:
- **Query-relevant extraction (QE)**: Extract blocks relevant to a specific query
- **Main content extraction (ME)**: Extract main content, filtering out nav/ads/sidebars

### Paper Results (Table 2 & 3)

| Model | Params | Avg RAG QA F1 | ME F1 | QE F1 | Latency (ME) |
|-------|--------|---------------|-------|-------|-------------|
| **IndexLM-0.6B** | 0.6B | 54.70 | 83.38 | 28.64 | **0.35s** |
| **IndexLM-4B** | 4B | 55.41 | 87.40 | 31.69 | 0.81s |
| ReaderLM-v2 | 1.5B | 46.84 | 68.89 | 13.31 | 11.76s |
| HtmlRAG | - | 47.00 | 48.65 | 8.83 | 7.12s |
| Firecrawl Extract | API | 52.72 | - | 29.48 | 11.33s |

## 2. What's Been Done

### ✅ Dataset Created & Pushed (v2 — Multi-domain)

**Hub**: [`OmAlve/indexlm-training-data`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OmAlve/indexlm-training-data)

| Split | Rows |
|-------|------|
| train | 21,098 |
| eval | 500 |

**Domain Composition (avoids Wikipedia-only bias):**
| Source | Count | % | Domain |
|--------|-------|---|--------|
| MultiHopRAG | 7,165 | 33.2% | News (Mashable, CNBC, AP, etc.) |
| HotpotQA | 6,479 | 30.0% | Wikipedia |
| HtmlRAG-train | 2,692 | 12.5% | **Real Bing-scraped web HTML** (diverse) |
| MS MARCO | 4,844 | 22.4% | Diverse web (Bing search results) |
| NA (mismatched) | 418 | 1.9% | Cross-domain |

**Task Type Composition:**
- `query_relevant`: ~78% — query-specific extraction
- `main_content`: ~20% — main content vs. noise (nav/ads/cookies)
- `query_relevant_na`: ~2% — no relevant content exists

**Key improvement over v1**: Real web HTML from Bing search results (via HtmlRAG-train) + news articles + MS MARCO diverse web QA, not just Wikipedia.

**Format**: Conversational `messages` column (SFTTrainer-native):
```json
{
  "messages": [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are IndexLM, a web content extraction model..."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "URL: ...\nQuery: ...\n\nBlocks:\n[1] <h2>Title</h2>\n[2] <p>Content</p>\n...\n\nOutput the index intervals of blocks relevant to the query."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "[[2, 4], [7, 7]]"}
  ]
}
```

**Token length stats** (Qwen3-0.6B tokenizer):
- Min: 316, Max: 4,105, Mean: 1,944, Median: 2,019
- 43 examples filtered (>4096 tokens)

**Data pipeline** (from `prepare_data_v2.py`):
1. **HtmlRAG-train** (5,880 raw examples): Real Bing-scraped HTML from 5 QA datasets (NQ, ASQA, TriviaQA, MuSiQue, HotpotQA). Segments HTML by block-level tags, matches relevant blocks to ground-truth answers using trigram/substring matching.
2. **MultiHopRAG** (8,521 examples): News articles from Mashable, CNBC, AP, etc. Converts article body + evidence annotations to indexed blocks. Injects realistic noise blocks.
3. **HotpotQA** (6,486 examples, minority): Wikipedia context with supporting facts → index intervals. Noise injected.
4. **MS MARCO** (4,844 examples): Diverse web QA from Bing search. Passages from real web pages across numeric, entity, description, location, person query types.
5. **NA examples** (500): Mismatched query-page pairs from different sources.
6. Filters to ≤4096 tokens, shuffles, splits train/eval.

### ✅ Training Script Ready

**File**: `train_indexlm.py` (see Section 5 below)

Key settings:
- **Base model**: `Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B` (751M params, bf16, GQA, 32K context)
- **Method**: SFT via TRL `SFTTrainer` + `SFTConfig`
- **Output**: `OmAlve/IndexLM-0.6B` on Hub
- **Hyperparameters**: lr=2e-5, epochs=3, batch=4, grad_accum=4 (effective BS=16), max_length=4096, cosine LR schedule, warmup=5%
- `push_to_hub=True`, `hub_model_id="OmAlve/IndexLM-0.6B"`
- Trackio monitoring included
- Flash Attention 2 for training speed

### ✅ Evaluation Script Ready

**File**: `eval_indexlm.py` (see Section 5 below)

Evaluates:
- QE F1/Precision/Recall on eval split
- ME F1/Precision/Recall on eval split
- CPU inference speed benchmark

### ❌ Training Not Yet Run

Ran into credits issue on HF Jobs (402 Payment Required). You need to run `train_indexlm.py` on a GPU.

---

## 3. How to Train

### Option A: HF Jobs (if you have credits)

```bash
# Dependencies
pip install "transformers>=4.51.0" "trl>=1.2.0" torch datasets accelerate trackio "flash-attn --no-build-isolation"
```

Recommended hardware: **a10g-large** ($2/hr) or **t4-small** ($0.60/hr) — model is only 0.6B params.  
Estimated time: **2-4 hours** on a10g, **4-6 hours** on T4.  
Set timeout to **6h** minimum.

### Option B: Any GPU machine

```bash
pip install "transformers>=4.51.0" "trl>=1.2.0" torch datasets accelerate trackio
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation  # optional, speeds up training

python train_indexlm.py
```

**VRAM**: ~8-10 GB with gradient checkpointing + bf16 at batch_size=4. Fits on T4 (16GB), any A-series, etc.

### Option C: Without Flash Attention

If `flash-attn` fails to install, change this line in `train_indexlm.py`:
```python
# FROM:
attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
# TO:
attn_implementation="sdpa",
```

---

## 4. How to Deploy on CPU

After training, the model at `OmAlve/IndexLM-0.6B` can be loaded for CPU inference:

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

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "OmAlve/IndexLM-0.6B",
    torch_dtype=torch.float32,
    attn_implementation="sdpa",
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("OmAlve/IndexLM-0.6B")
model.eval()

# Example: extract relevant content from a web page
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are IndexLM, a web content extraction model..."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "URL: ...\nQuery: What is Python?\n\nBlocks:\n[1] <nav>Home</nav>\n[2] <h1>Python Programming</h1>\n[3] <p>Python is a programming language...</p>\n[4] <footer>Copyright 2024</footer>\n\nOutput the index intervals of blocks relevant to the query."}
]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True, enable_thinking=False)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128, do_sample=False)

response = tokenizer.decode(out[0][inputs['input_ids'].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)  # → [[2, 3]]
```

**For even faster CPU**: quantize to INT4/INT8 with `bitsandbytes` or export to ONNX.

## 5. All Scripts

### 5.1 Data Preparation (`prepare_data.py`)

```python
"""
Prepare IndexLM training data from HotpotQA and MSMARCO.

Pipeline:
1. Load HotpotQA (has context = list of (title, sentences) + supporting_facts)
2. Convert context into indexed HTML-like blocks: [i] <tag>content</tag>
3. The target is index intervals of blocks containing supporting facts
4. Also create main-content extraction examples (all content blocks are "main content",
   but we inject noise blocks like nav/ads to train the model to filter them)
5. Format as conversational messages for SFT

## 6. Key Design Decisions & Rationale

### Why Qwen3-0.6B?
- The paper uses Qwen3-0.6B/1.7B/4B. The 0.6B achieves **near-identical performance** to 4B on RAG QA (54.70 vs 55.41 avg F1)
- 0.6B is **1.4GB in bf16, ~700MB in INT4** — runs fast on CPU
- TRL's own SFT documentation uses Qwen3-0.6B as its default example model — maximum compatibility
- Qwen3 has GQA (grouped-query attention) which is faster for inference than MHA

### Why not ReaderLM-v2?
- ReaderLM-v2 does generative HTML→Markdown extraction (different task)
- It's **33-70× slower** than IndexLM on the paper's benchmarks
- Fine-tuning it for index prediction would fight against its pretrained generation behavior

### Dataset construction vs. the paper
The paper uses:
1. Google Search API crawls → real HTML from the web
2. DeepSeek V3 annotation with 5-run majority voting
3. Common Crawl WARC files

We approximate this with:
1. HotpotQA's structured context (title + sentences) converted to indexed HTML blocks
2. Programmatic labeling from HotpotQA's `supporting_facts` ground truth (higher quality than LLM annotation)
3. Synthetic noise injection (nav, ads, cookies, etc.) to simulate real web clutter
4. Mismatched query-page pairs for NA examples

**Trade-off**: Our HTML blocks are simpler than real web HTML (no nested tables, complex CSS-in-JS, etc.). For production use, augmenting with real crawled HTML would improve robustness. The paper's full pipeline would require API costs (Google Search, DeepSeek V3).

### Hyperparameters
Directly from the paper Section 3.3.2: "The training process is a typical SFT process" on Qwen3. We use:
- lr=2e-5 (TRL SFT default, standard for Qwen3)
- 3 epochs (standard SFT)
- Effective batch size 16 (4 × 4 grad accum)
- Cosine LR schedule with 5% warmup
- max_length=4096 (covers 99.8% of our data, well within Qwen3's 32K context)

## 7. What's Left To Do

| Task | Status | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| Run `train_indexlm.py` | ❌ | Needs GPU — a10g-large recommended (~$8 total) |
| Run `eval_indexlm.py` | ❌ | After training completes |
| ONNX export for CPU | ❌ | Optional: `optimum-cli export onnx --model OmAlve/IndexLM-0.6B indexlm-onnx/` |
| INT4 quantization | ❌ | Optional: use `bitsandbytes` or `llama.cpp` for faster CPU |
| Real HTML augmentation | ❌ | Optional: crawl real web pages to augment training data |
