"""Zero-shot letter readout of a Hugging Face chat model on OpenDecisions; writes predictions for score.py. pip install torch transformers accelerate python predict_letters.py --model google/gemma-4-31B-it --out predictions.jsonl python predict_letters.py --model google/gemma-4-31B-it --out predictions.jsonl --temperatures 5.96,7.24,7.24 python score.py predictions.jsonl Each item becomes a multiple-choice prompt with lettered options (the prompt of SemIf, github.com/TheoLeeCJ/SemIf): a fixed system message and a JSON user message {"evidence": state, "criterion": question, "options": [{"letter", "description"}]}, rendered with the model's chat template with thinking disabled. One forward pass gives the next-token logits of the option letters A, B, C, ...; a softmax over the item's K letters gives the probabilities. Option descriptions are ": "; yes/no questions have the options "true" (listed first) and "false"; score levels are listed from lowest to highest. This is how JevBench's semif_direct adapter maps a question (github.com/fstandhartinger/jevbench, MIT). --temperatures choice,yesno,score divides the letter logits by one temperature per question type (default 1, 1, 1). Our paper fits them by NLL on separate data, never below 1 (for example 5.96, 7.24, 7.24 for Gemma 4 31B). Items above --max-tokens prompt tokens (default 8192) are skipped and count as wrong in score.py. MIT License.
