Model Card for Fine-Tuned LLaMA Empathy

Model Summary

Fine-Tuned LLaMA Empathy is a large language model fine-tuned to enhance emotional understanding and generate needs-based responses. This model is designed for use in psychology, therapy, conflict resolution, human-computer interaction, and online moderation. It is based on the Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model and utilizes LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) for efficient fine-tuning.

• Fine-tuned from model: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct

Model Sources

• Repository: Hugging Face Model Repository

Uses

Direct Use

• Psychology & Therapy: Assisting professionals in understanding and responding empathetically to patient emotions.
• Conflict Resolution: Helping mediators decode emotional expressions and address underlying needs.
• Human-Computer Interaction: Enhancing chatbots and virtual assistants with emotionally aware responses.
• Social Media Moderation: Reducing toxicity and improving online discourse through need-based responses.
• Education: Supporting emotional intelligence training and communication skill development.

Downstream Use

• Fine-tuning for specialized applications in mental health, conflict resolution, or AI-driven assistance.
• Integration into virtual therapists, mental health applications, and online support systems.

Out-of-Scope Use

• Not a substitute for professional psychological evaluation or medical treatment.
• Not suitable for high-risk applications requiring absolute accuracy in emotional interpretation.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

• Bias: As with any NLP model, biases may exist due to the dataset and training methodology. LLaMA models, in particular, have shown biases.
• Risk of Misinterpretation: Emotional expressions are subjective and may be misclassified in complex scenarios.
• Generalization Limitations: May not fully capture cultural and contextual variations in emotional expressions.

Recommendations

Users should verify outputs before applying them in professional or high-stakes settings. Continuous evaluation and user feedback are recommended.
