💻 Usage Examples

🐍 Basic Data Loading

import json
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load dataset
dataset = load_dataset("alvanalrakib/MuseCraft-Music")

# Access conversations
for example in dataset['train']:
    user_prompt = example['messages'][0]['content']
    lyrics = example['messages'][1]['content'] 
    genre = example['metadata'].get('genre', 'Unknown')
    
    print(f"Genre: {genre}")
    print(f"Prompt: {user_prompt}")
    print(f"Lyrics: {lyrics[:100]}...")
    break

🤖 Transformers Training

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, TrainingArguments
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "microsoft/DialoGPT-medium"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Load and format dataset
dataset = load_dataset("alvanalrakib/MuseCraft-Music")

def format_conversation(example):
    messages = example['messages']
    text = f"User: {messages[0]['content']}\nAssistant: {messages[1]['content']}"
    return {"text": text}

# Format dataset
formatted_dataset = dataset.map(format_conversation)

🦙 Unsloth Fine-tuning (Recommended)

from unsloth import FastLanguageModel
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load model with Unsloth
model, tokenizer = FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained(
    model_name="unsloth/llama-3.1-8b-bnb-4bit",
    max_seq_length=2048,
    dtype=None,
    load_in_4bit=True,
)

# Load dataset
dataset = load_dataset("alvanalrakib/MuseCraft-Music")

# Apply LoRA for efficient training
model = FastLanguageModel.get_peft_model(
    model,
    r=16,
    target_modules=["q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj"],
    lora_alpha=16,
    lora_dropout=0,
    bias="none"
)

# Training configuration
training_args = {
    "per_device_train_batch_size": 2,
    "gradient_accumulation_steps": 4, 
    "learning_rate": 2e-4,
    "max_steps": 1000,
    "fp16": True,
    "optim": "adamw_8bit"
}

🎯 Filter by Genre/Emotion

# Filter by genre
metal_lyrics = dataset['train'].filter(
    lambda x: x['metadata'].get('genre') == 'Metal'
)

# Filter by emotion
sad_lyrics = dataset['train'].filter(
    lambda x: x['metadata'].get('emotion') == 'sadness'
)

# Filter by style
instruction_based = dataset['train'].filter(
    lambda x: x['metadata'].get('style') == 'instruction_based'
)
