# Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-Multiple-Choice-Maker
## Overview
This model is fine-tuned to generate multiple-choice questions in XML format based on input text. It is designed for educational purposes, such as creating assessment materials, and for generating machine learning benchmark questions.
### Training Details
- **Data Source**: The training dataset was generated from open-source sociology textbooks using a custom prompt powered by the [agentlans/Llama3.1-LexiHermes-SuperStorm](https://huggingface.co/agentlans/Llama3.1-LexiHermes-SuperStorm) model. The dataset contains 3,739 rows. Due to licensing restrictions, the dataset is not provided here.
- **Training Method**: Fine-tuning was conducted using [LLaMA-Factory](https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory) with rank 16 LoRA, alpha = 32, and rslora, leveraging the Liger kernel.
### Potential Applications
- **Education**: Automate the creation of multiple-choice questions for exams or quizzes.
- **Machine Learning**: Generate benchmark datasets for evaluating natural language processing models.
### Limitations
- Outputs may require manual review to ensure:
- Questions and answers are contextually accurate and appropriate for assessment.
- Only one correct answer is provided.
- XML format is verbose but ensures stricter validation compared to JSON.
- Requires further processing to make it suitable for human or machine assessments.
## Usage Instructions
Format the text using this template:
```text
Multiple choice:
{{YOUR_TEXT_HERE}}

The concept of cultural relativism has long been a cornerstone of anthropological theory, emphasizing the importance of understanding cultural practices and beliefs within their own context rather than judging them by external standards. This perspective challenges ethnocentrism, the tendency to view one's own culture as superior or normative, and instead promotes an appreciation for the diversity of human experiences and expressions. Cultural relativism posits that values, norms, and traditions are not universal but are shaped by historical, social, and environmental factors unique to each society. For example, practices such as dietary restrictions, marriage customs, or religious rituals may seem peculiar or even incomprehensible to outsiders but hold profound significance within the communities that uphold them. While cultural relativism fosters empathy and cross-cultural understanding, it also raises complex ethical questions, particularly when certain practices conflict with universal human rights standards. For instance, debates surrounding issues like female genital mutilation or child marriage often highlight the tension between respecting cultural traditions and advocating for individual freedoms and well-being. Scholars have sought to reconcile these challenges by advocating for a balanced approach that acknowledges cultural specificity while promoting dialogue about shared values and ethical principles. Ultimately, cultural relativism serves as a critical tool for navigating the complexities of globalization and multiculturalism in an increasingly interconnected world, encouraging both academic inquiry and practical engagement with diverse societies.
