Troubleshooting Guide

Common Issues & Solutions

1. CUDA Out of Memory:

# Solution: Reduce batch size and enable optimizations
# In configs/config.yaml:
train:
  batch_size: 2  # Reduce from 8
  fp16: true
  gradient_checkpointing: true

2. Model Loading Failures:

# Check if model name is correct
python -c "
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
try:
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf')
    print('✅ Model accessible')
except Exception as e:
    print(f'❌ Model error: {e}')
"

# Use fallback model
# In configs/config.yaml set: model_name_or_path: "distilbert-base-uncased"

3. Data Loading Issues:

# Check data file format
python -c "
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('data/tweets.csv')
print(f'Data shape: {df.shape}')
print(f'Columns: {list(df.columns)}')
print(f'Sample:\\n{df.head(2)}')
"

# Regenerate demo data if needed
python scripts/generate_demo_data.py --tweets 1000 --users 200

4. Import Errors:

# Check Python path
python -c "import sys; print('\\n'.join(sys.path))"

# Install missing dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run from project root
cd /path/to/phishguard-scaffold
python -m training.train --config configs/config.yaml

Performance Optimization Tips

Speed Up Training:

# 1. Use mixed precision
# Set fp16: true in config

# 2. Increase batch size (if memory allows)
# Set batch_size: 16 or 32

# 3. Use LoRA for faster fine-tuning
# Set peft: lora, lora_r: 16

# 4. Pre-compile model (PyTorch 2.0+)
# Set compile_model: true in config

Improve Model Quality:

# 1. Use more training epochs
# Set num_epochs: 10

# 2. Tune loss weights
# Experiment with lambda_adv: 0.5, mu_prop: 0.3

# 3. Use larger model (if resources allow)
# Set model_name_or_path: "meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-hf"

# 4. Collect more/better training data
python scripts/collect_twitter_data.py --count 50000
