### 4. Edit Configs
## Configuration System (Hydra)

Configs are stored within train/configs/example_train.yaml
This project uses [Hydra](https://hydra.cc/) for configuration management. Configs are organized into composable groups:

## Running the Training
```
configs/
├── config.yaml # Root training config
├── config_eval.yaml # Root eval config
├── data/ # Dataset configurations
├── model/ # Model configurations
├── train/ # Training hyperparameters
├── lora/ # LoRA configurations
├── reward/ # Reward function configs
│ ├── base.yaml # Base rewards (always included)
│ └── overseer/ # Optional API overseer penalty
│ ├── standard.yaml
│ └── add_info.yaml
├── eval/ # Evaluation configurations
├── experiment/ # Experiment-specific overrides
│ ├── full_xml_tags/
│ └── xml_no_bg_info/
├── hydra/launcher/ # SLURM launcher configs
└── sweep/ # Sweep configurations
```

Once you've completed the setup steps above:
## Training

### Basic Training

```bash
python src/main/train.py --config [path_to_config]
# Training without overseer penalty
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train

# Training with overseer penalty (default weight -0.01)
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=standard

# Training with custom penalty weight
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=standard \
reward.funcs.api_overseer_penalty_func.penalty_weight=-0.2

# Training with add_info prompts
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=add_info
```

### Sweeping Penalty Weights

```bash
# Sweep over multiple penalty weights (creates multiple runs)
python -m src.train -m experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=standard \
reward.funcs.api_overseer_penalty_func.penalty_weight=-0.01,-0.05,-0.1,-0.2
```

### SLURM Cluster Training

```bash
# Single job submission
sbatch scripts/train_dispatch.sh experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=standard

# Sweep with SLURM launcher (parallel jobs)
python -m src.train -m experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=standard \
reward.funcs.api_overseer_penalty_func.penalty_weight=-0.01,-0.05,-0.1,-0.2 \
hydra/launcher=slurm
```

### Distributed Training

```bash
# Multi-GPU training with accelerate
accelerate launch --multi_gpu --num_processes 2 \
-m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=standard
```

## Evaluation

```bash
# Basic evaluation
python -m src.eval experiment=full_xml_tags/eval_sycophancy \
training_group=leave_out_sycophancy_full_xml_tags_seed_42 \
training_run_name=monitor_informed_pen \
artifact_step=100

# Evaluation without system prompt
python -m src.eval experiment=full_xml_tags/eval_sycophancy_no_system_prompt \
training_group=leave_out_sycophancy_full_xml_tags_seed_42 \
training_run_name=monitor_informed_pen \
artifact_step=100

# Raw evaluation (no XML formatting)
python -m src.eval experiment=full_xml_tags/eval_sycophancy_raw \
training_group=leave_out_sycophancy_full_xml_tags_seed_42 \
training_run_name=monitor_informed_pen \
artifact_step=100
```

### SLURM Evaluation

```bash
sbatch scripts/eval_dispatch.sh \
experiment=full_xml_tags/eval_sycophancy \
training_group=leave_out_sycophancy_full_xml_tags_seed_42 \
training_run_name=monitor_informed_pen \
artifact_step=100
```

## Config Override Examples

Hydra allows overriding any config value from the command line:

```bash
# Override model
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train model.base_model_id=Qwen/Qwen3-8B

# Override training hyperparameters
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train train.learning_rate=0.0001 train.num_train_epochs=3

# Override wandb settings
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train wandb.project=my_project

# Custom config name for wandb
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train config_name=my_custom_run
```

## Available Datasets
Expand All @@ -48,10 +158,40 @@ The repository includes several datasets in the `datasets/` directory:
- `sycophancy_fact_unhackable.jsonl`
- `theory_of_mind_mirroring_unhackable.jsonl`

Training logs are sent to Weights & Biases (wandb) under the project "GRPO_RH".
## Wandb Logging

Training logs are sent to Weights & Biases (wandb) under the project "obfuscation_generalization".

The `config_name` field in your config determines the wandb run name. The full resolved config is logged for traceability.

You can specify a dictionary in the wandb config file to give names to your overrides that appear in the run name, to have a run naming in the form `run_${desired_name_1}_${override_1_value}_..._${desired_name_n}_${override_n_value}`. Note that if it surpasses 128 characters (wandb limit) it will be cut, so try to keep the desired names short.

## Distributed Training
For example, if your wandb config file looks like this:

Use accelerate to launch distributed training across multiple GPUs following https://huggingface.co/docs/trl/en/distributing_training
```
project: obfuscation_generalization
entity: geodesic
run_name_mapping:
"reward/overseer": "overseer"
"experiment/full_xml_tags/train/data": "data"
```

Then, running `python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=hedged_add_info +experiment/full_xml_tags/train/data=leave_out_score_full_xml` will create a wandb `run_name` of `run_overseer_hedged_add_info_data_leave_out_score_full_xml`.

## Migration from Old Config System

The old `--config` argument has been replaced with Hydra's composition system. Instead of:

```bash
# Old (deprecated)
python -m src.train --config configs/experiments/full_xml_tags/.../train_pen.yaml
```

Use:

```bash
# New (Hydra)
python -m src.train experiment=full_xml_tags/train +reward/overseer=standard
```

The old config files in `configs/experiments/` are preserved for reference but are no longer used.
