Hyperparameter details

[avinashsai]

Hello,

Thanks for publishing inference code for selective compression. I have some questions about context_proportion and low_comp_ratio hyperparameters. I am currently testing on a different benchmark however i sometimes run into the error ValueError: Invalid encoder_indices. I see the error comes around this line

if len_for_encoder < lm_length and low_ratio_index_length > 0: raise ValueError("Invalid encoder_indices")

I am currently using same hyperparameters provided. Can you explain a bit what values are needed for overall_comp_ratio, text_proportion, low_comp_ratio to avoid these errors and what are these hyperparameters?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your interest. The ValueError: Invalid encoder_indices occurs when the number of tokens specified in encoder_indices surpasses the maximum token limit allowed for the encoder. Let me explain the related hyperparameters:

• overall_comp_ratio:
  • The overall compression ratio for the entire context (e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16).
  • Example: overall_comp_ratio=8 means compressing 8 tokens into 1 token.
• text_proportion:
  • The proportion of original context tokens to be treated as "important" (high priority).
  • During selective compression, the context is split into two priority levels: high and low. Different compression ratios are then applied to each. A lower ratio (low_comp_ratio) is used for high-priority content to preserve critical information, while a higher ratio is applied to the rest. This parameter determines the fraction of the context assigned to the high-priority group.
• low_comp_ratio: (e.g, 1, 2, 4):
  • The compression ratio specifically for important (high priority) context.
  • Should be ≤ overall_comp_ratio.
  • Example: low_comp_ratio=1 means no compression for important sentences.

The relationship should satisfy:

text_proportion * (1/low_comp_ratio) + (1-text_proportion) * (1/high_comp_ratio) ≤ 1/overall_comp_ratio

Where high_comp_ratio is automatically calculated by the code to compress the non-important parts.

Could you share what context and query you're currently using when this error occurred? This would help me provide more specific suggestions.

Best regards

Thanks for your response. This is the context and question I am using with original hyperparameters.

Context: Madam Court, could you please read docket 1239? Certainly. Docket 1239. The Committee on Government Operations, to which was referred on December 1st, 2021, docket number 1239 message an order authorizing the creation of a sheltered market program in conformity with the requirements of general laws. Chapter 30 B Section 18. This authorization applies to contracts for goods, professional services and support services. This authorization is for no more than six contracts, which must be awarded by June 30th, 2022. This sheltered market program shall be available for disadvantaged, minority and women only vendors, for whom there is a demonstrated substantial disparity in the city's 2020 disparities. Study submits a report recommending the order ought to pass. Thank you so much, Madam Clerk. The Chair recognizes Councilor Edwards, chair of the committee. Councilor Edwards. You have the floor. This is this is actually a matter, I believe, sponsored by the. Mayor in Cannes. In conformance with the recommendations from the disparity study and making sure that we opt in to this this pilot program under mass general laws 30 Section 18. Again, it's really just following the recommendations of an already studied issue, which which demonstrates a disparity between minority contractors or women contractors receiving contracts in the city of Boston. So this would allow for us to shepherd and move these six contracts to those already designated groups who have a disadvantage. And I think it's. Really fulfilling a promise. Of making sure that we go through and make sure all aspects of the city government, including the financial benefits, are accessible to people in the city of Boston. I recommend that this pass and I hope that my colleagues will vote for it. Thank you. Thank you so much. Councilor Edward seeks acceptance of the committee report and passage of Docket 1239. Madam Court, could you please call the roll? Certainly. Docket 1239. Councilor Arroyo. Yes. Councilor Arroyo. Yes. Councilor Baker. Councilor Baker. Councilor. Councilor Barker. Council Braden. Councilor Braden. Councilor Campbell. Councilor Campbell. Yes. Councilor Edwards. Yes. Councilor Sabby. George. Councilor Sabby. George. He has Councilor Flaherty. Councilor Flaherty as Councilor Flynn. Councilor Flynn. Yes. Councilor Jane. Yes. Councilor Janey. As Councilor me here. Councilor me here as Councilor Murphy. Councilor Murphy. Yes. And Councilor O'Malley. Yes. Councilor O'Malley. Yes. Madam President, do I get number 1239 has received unanimous vote. Thank you so much. Dockett 1239 has passed and now we will move on to matters recently heard for possible action. Madam Clerk, if you could please read docket 0863. Certainly Docket 0863 order for hearing to discuss pest control and illegal dumping in the city of Boston.

Question: Who read docket 1239?

Thank you for reporting this issue. We have updated the code to address this problem. The constraint conditions have been relaxed to better handle edge cases across different benchmarks. This should resolve the Invalid encoder_indices error you encountered. Please don't hesitate to post if you have any further questions.
Best regards

Thank you for changing the code. I am facing this issue high_comp_ratio = math.ceil((len_encoder_input_ids - sentences_length) / remain_length) ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

Context: Direct your comments to council as a whole and please refrain from individual or personal attacks. Council Member Sandoval Will you please put Council Bill 723 on the floor for final passage? I move that council bill 73 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. Thank you. It has been moved and seconded. The required public hearing for council Bill 7 to 3 is open and we have Sara Corse here and she'll be giving us a staff report. Go ahead, Sarah. Hello again. I'm Sarah, of course, senior city planner with Committee Planning and Development. I'll be presenting the application for 420 East 11th Avenue to rezone from GMU 503 to GMC'S three. So the subject property is in Council District ten. Chris Hines District. More specifically, the property is located within the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Currently there's a three story building with mixed use on the subject property, which operates as a bed and breakfast. The property owner is requesting to rezone to expand the uses allowed. The subject property is in general urban multi-unit with allowable height of up to five stories. In addition to that, the use of a three is a historic structure use overlay. The surrounding zoning is predominantly GMU five over three with eight to the west and Jimmy with 303 and OSA to the south. The building on the property is the Paterson Campbell House, which is an individual designated historic structure and as a contributing building to the Pennsylvania Street Historic District. This means demolition of the building would be strongly discouraged and also highly unlikely and subject for review by the Landmark Preservation Commission. Also, any exterior changes requiring a building or zoning permit would also be subject to landmark preservation design review for compliance with the with the design guidelines for Denver's landmark structures and districts. I'd like to point out one of the main differences between the existing zoning and the proposed zone district. So the existing zoning of Jim u503 allows residential office, not including dental or medical offices or clinics, art studio and bed and breakfast lodging with a maximum of ten guest rooms. The proposed zoning of Jim X three will expand the commercial uses already permitted and also allow additional uses such as eating and drinking establishments and retail sales. So the subject property has mixed use, land use and the surrounding properties are multi-unit residential office, single unit, residential and park open space land uses. Again, here are some images of the existing property. And here are the surrounding building forms. They range from two or three stories and are a variety of building forms, as you can see. So we are at the city council public hearing today. I like to call out that IT planning board at their public hearing. Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend that city council approve the application. In terms of public comment, the Capitol Hill, United Neighborhoods and Auno has submitted a letter of support. The property also entered into a good neighbor agreement with Capitol Hill United Neighbors in which they have committed to items such as a restriction on hours. Alcoholic beverages may be served or sold. A restriction on the hours music or entertainment is provided. A requirement for onsite offsite parking and a requirement for making space available to nonprofits. A certain number of times per year. In addition to that, there were two letters of support received. One letter from an adjacent property owner reference how they saw the building endure years of disrepair from lack of use. But they have seen the building blossom under the current owner and that he has proven to be a trustworthy steward of the historic building. The other letter expressed support because the rezoning would support a local business and could open up the historic building to other uses with public access that could provide public amenity to the neighborhood. So let's move on to how the application meets the review criteria. So there are three plans that apply to the subject site and they are the comprehensive plan 2040 Blueprint, Denver and East Central Area Plan. The application is consistent with several of the strategies in the comprehensive plan, so I'll move on to consistency with blueprint number. Blueprint. Denver identifies the subject property as having the future context of general urban. This context is is described as predominantly multi-unit structures with one unit and two unit residential and low scale mixed uses that are embedded within the multi-unit areas. Blueprint. Denver also identifies the site as having the future place type of high medium residential. This can be described as having a mix of low to medium scale multi-unit residential uses, with some neighborhoods serving mixed use distributed throughout. In addition to that, 11th Avenue has the future street type of residential connector, and that's described as having primarily residential uses, but may also include schools, civic uses, parks, small retail nodes and other similar uses. The Growth Area strategy. The blueprint Denver identifies is all other areas of the city, which is expected to see around 20% of new housing growth and 10% of new job growth. So in Blueprint Denver, there are recommendations that form a comprehensive list of policies and strategies to guide implementation of the plan. There are several strategies around historic preservation, re-use of existing structures and promoting small businesses that the rezoning request is consistent with in summaries. In summary, these strategies state that in historic areas we should balance efficiency with preservation through strategies that encourages reuse of structures and also states that we should look to support. Locally owned businesses new and old to expand involve the meeting to meet the changing needs of residents and visitors. So let's move on to East Central Area plan. So Essential Area Plan is similar to Blueprint Denver in terms of how it identifies the future place type, which is high, medium residential. And it also has the same description of Blueprint Denver that I just went over. There are also several strategies. East Central Area Plan. The application is consistent with one main strategy that supports this rezoning. Request states to facilitate adaptive reuse of historic structures by allowing a broader range of uses, including compatible commercial uses and appropriate additions. So the proposed rezoning two GM x three will result in the uniform application of zoned district building for use and design regulations. The proposed Official Map amendment does further the Public Health and safety and general welfare of the city through implementation of the city's adopted land use plan. As I said, the proposed zone district is consistent with Blueprint Denver's plan policies and therefore contributes to implementing the city's adopted latest plan. The requested Zone District of Gmc's three will allow the historic structure to have a broader range of uses which will promote adaptive reuse of the historic structure and allow further preservation of the building. In addition to that, the broader range of uses may bring more services to the area for the surrounding community to utilize. So in terms of justifying circumstances, the application references, the adopted plans, including the Comprehensive Plan, Blueprint Number and East Central Area Plan as recently adopted plans for the justifying circumstance as stated in the first review criterion , these plans provide a clear vision and strategies that outline the need for historic preservation, adaptive values, encouraging small businesses to thrive, and providing flexibility for small mixed use nodes with neighborhood serving amenities and uses to be dispersed throughout multi-unit residential areas. Citing these recently adopted plans to rezone two Gmc's three is an appropriate justifying circumstance. Lastly, the requested zone district of GMAC's three is consistent with the neighborhood context zone district. Purpose and intent. So based on the criteria for review and the Denver Zoning Code staff recommends approval of application 2020 II 00082. Thank you. All right. Thank you, sir, for the staff report and for this first hearing, we have three individuals signed up to speak and all are participating virtually. And so we'll go to our first speaker, Chris Chiari. I thank you and council members. Thank you. Good evening. My name is Chris Kyari. I am a resident of Uptown and the owner of the Patterson Inn for the last three and a half years and heavily involved in day to day operations. I'm very familiar with the historic property and nature of the neighborhood and consider myself the caretaker of both the property and its history. My goal is to ensure the long term sustainability and viability of this historic asset. And for. That, it's important that I have the chance to utilize the building to its fullest. Potential. Currently, a large portion of the property is underutilized and neighbors neighbors often get to see the Patterson in from the outside, but they don't have a reason to come inside to see the splendor of the interior of the property. My goal is to activate the property to allow more people to experience it, not just view it. It's a property that dates back to 1891. The property rezoning will give me a couple of uses I can't do now. One is potentially the expansion of rooms, the possibility of adding a small café or even a small boutique store, or possibly a club or lounge as an amenity to the guests. This is being. Proactive. COVID had a significant impact on hospitality. I'm seeing that business come back, but this is a way to make sure this property has a bright and vibrant future. So I ask for your support tonight in this rezoning. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Jesse Pearce. Yes. Good evening. Members of council, those watching at home. Those are the council chambers. My name is Jessica. Sharpest represent for Black Sox. The mood for self defense positive social change was the only party of Colorado front line Black knows. And I'll be the next mayor of Denver in 2023. I was against. I was initially against this zoning classification. And so I understood now that it's just for preservation and to help out the Patterson House. So I thought it was going to be more rapid gentrification, more displacement, but it's clearly not going to be that. So I'm in favor of this slight. Thank you. Thank you. Our last speaker is Rebecca Posada. Hi. I'm here. My name is Rebecca Pizarro. I have lived across the street from the Patterson Mansion for 16 years. It is a gem of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. I saw it years when it was vacant and fall into disrepair. And I can tell you that Chris Geary has been a responsible owner, and I have seen the building blossom under his stewardship. So I give full support to rezoning and allowing optimal use of the Paterson mansion for the neighborhood. And that's all I have to say. All right. Thank you. That concludes our speakers questions from members of Council on Council Bill 723. Councilmember Flynn. Thank you, Madam President. Sarah, could you just briefly detail some of the constraints that the landmark designation places on the building. If it were to incorporate these additional uses. The building would still be under landmark preservation and review and would have to follow their design guidelines. And I think, as I stated earlier in the presentation, depending on what the property owner wants to do, if he needs a zoning or building permit for it, it would have to go through Landmark for approval. So I would say, you know, certain improvements to the building are very restrictive in terms of what can be done and as well as potential demolition. And as I stated before. It would be highly unlikely. Or. May not occur. But certainly, I mean, that is one of the buildings I think many of us would lay down in front of Bulldozer if that were to occur. But I don't think that's I don't think that's an issue. What about signage? If there were to be a cafe or a boutique in there, would the landmark designation require a review of signage or would that just come under the regular signage review for any other property? I believe it depends on what is within the Landmarks Design guidelines. I can't directly answer that question right now. I could make the assumption that the signage would be included under that part of the review. But I can't. Take. That is a fact. Sorry. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Madam President. All right. Thank you, Councilmember Flynn. And we have Councilmember Cashman with the question as well. Yeah. Thank you, Madam President. And Mr. Kerry, where are those members speaking to you a few years ago when you first took over the property? And I believe you were talking about expansion possibilities of a few rooms. Can you describe what your thoughts would be? How many rooms you might be able to add? Councilmember. Thank you. The property would provide for the addition. Of two rooms above the carriage house, which is one of the plans I have identified as the potential path forward. Know that was my memory. Just wanted to be sure nothing had shifted over the past few years. Madam President, it is a gorgeous property and truly 1 to 1 of the gems on Capitol Hill. I appreciate the uses that are described. Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember Cashman, and seen no other folks in the queue for questions. The public hearing is closed. Comments by members of Council on Council Bill 723. Council Member Hines Thank you. Council President I want to thank CBD for your presentation. I also want to thank the applicant who is here testifying via Zoom. I want to thank him for for being here even though he has a fever. I've spent way too much time here myself, and so I want to thank him for his commitment to this process, too , to attend, even though he's not feeling well. I also want to thank Capitol Hill United Neighbors for their willingness to to talk with the applicant about a good neighbor agreement. And the intent of the good neighbor agreement is just that. It is to make sure that this building is and and the property and the business inside is continued to be a good neighbor with with the surrounding community in the capital area. And this as as one of the speakers said, this is a gym in Capitol Hill. And as Councilmember Cashman said as well. The owner has also been a pillar of our community. And I want to thank him for for all he's done for for our community and Capitol Hill and in uptown this just as another vote of support. The owner, when he first came to to Denver, he looked at this property and wanted to buy it, but it wasn't for sale. And and he kept it in the back of his mind. I think he waited nine years before it. It actually came before the opportunity came for him to purchase. And obviously he has since purchased it. But but this was one of his one of his first properties that he spied when or that he identified when he came to the came to Denver. And and that he is that committed to the property, I think shows that he wants to do nothing but good for the property. And and again, he has opened his doors many times to the community to make sure that that he is being a good neighbor. So I think that this meets the five criteria. I think that there are other criteria or there are other bonuses that will get in addition to meeting the criteria. So I hope my colleagues will vote. I know I will. Thank you. Council president. Thank you, Councilmember Hines. Next up, we have Councilmember Flynn. Thank you, Madam President. I want to echo what Council Councilman Hines just said, and I want to thank Chris Chiari for his caretaking of the Patterson Mansion. There is probably no better way to ensure the preservation of a landmark structure than to find a really robust fitting and not conforming but consistent use of the property. And this sounds like this zoning change will allow for a better array of of options to maintain this into the future. This beyond being a gem of Capitol Hill. It is one of four residences that still are excellent for the four individuals who owned the Rocky Mountain News from its founder in 1859 through its sale to Scripps Howard in 1926. The four individuals who owned the paper prior to that, their homes are still standing in the metro area and I think that's a testament to our commitment to preservation. This is by far the grandest. They belong to Thomas Patterson, a Democrat who owned the Rocky Mountain News at the turn of the last century. And this is my history lesson for the meeting. I'm sorry. I should have prefaced that at the turn of the last century and was a U.S. senator as well. And so I believe that the application meets all five criteria. I'm certainly very happy and eager to support this. Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Councilmember Flynn. And as always, I learn a little bit more about Denver's history whenever you comment on a rezoning. And so appreciate that and likewise happy to support this. Councilmember Hines seeing that it meets all of the review criteria. Madam Secretary, roll call on Council Bill 7 to 3, please. Cashman. I. Ortega. I. I can change. I. Sandoval, I. Sawyer, I. Torres, i. Black I. See the Barca I. Clark, I. Swim I. Herndon Madam President. I. Madam Secretary, close the voting and announce the results. 13 Hours 13 ies council bill 20 1-723 has passed. Moving on to our courtesy public hearing this evening, and thank you to the CPD staff for being here for the previous public hearing.
