Error logs

I was fine tuning the meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct with https://archive.physionet.org/mimic2/ with 170k image-text pairs. The checkpoints till 0.7 of one epoch generate output text as expected. But starting 0.8 epoch, the checkpoints and so forthgenerate a repeated pattern as below

Expected behavior

Expecting the model to generate normal output at 0.8 epoch training and after.

I get a similar observation on my fine-tuning on custom dataset. Did you plot your training loss with wandb?

I wonder whether this is a learning rate adjustment. Also is there a possibility to schedule the learning rate decay?

I printed to tensorboard, take a look at my loss below, I had to smooth it with 1.0 so you can see how it drops. I applied a cosine lr with 0.03 warm_up ratio, and 0.01 weight_decay. What I don't understand is why the model corrupted somewhere between 0.7 and 0.8 of the epoch..

Your loss seems to be fine, maybe train longer or increase learning rate? Repetitive answers usually mean that the model is still adapting to the new domain.
Btw how do you set up warmup ratio and cosine schedule? They are not available arguments in the fine tuning script, as far as I know

Yup, those are probably the way out, just A100 rates are high and would like check if anyone has seen and solved the similar problem.

I added them manually. This is another thing wired about this repo, obviously almost all other fine-tuning repo has enbaled the cosine learning rate (idefics, intern, qwen, Aria etc.) but not this repo. It makes me worried fine-tuning script has not been well tested in this repo

yeah I agree, my finetuned model performs worse than a smaller LLaVA-Onevision finetuned model on my custom dataset. The loss doesn't manage to go as much down. Let's see if there are any significant updates in the coming weeks
How do you add the learning rate schedular manually?
