Adapting CLIP to vertical domains is typically approached by novel fine-tuning strategies or by continual pre-training (CPT) on large domain-specific datasets. Yet, data itself remains an underexplored factor in this process. We revisit this task from a data-centric perspective: Can effective data s
Knowledge Distillation (KD) serves as an effective approach to addressing heterogeneity issues in Federated Learning (FL), leveraging additional datasets to align local and global models better. There are two primary distillation paradigms: feature-based distillation, which utilizes intermediate-lay
Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) of the language backbone plays a pivotal role in adapting Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to specialized domains such as medical reasoning. However, existing SFT practices often rely on unfiltered textual datasets that contain redundant and low-quality samples, leading to
Language-guided supervision, which utilizes a frozen semantic target from a Pretrained Language Model (PLM), has emerged as a promising paradigm for visual Continual Learning (CL). However, relying on a single target introduces two critical limitations: 1) semantic ambiguity, where a polysemous cate…
Efficient data selection is crucial to accelerate the pretraining of language model (LMs). While various methods have been proposed to enhance data efficiency, limited research has addressed the inherent conflicts between these approaches to achieve optimal data selection for LM pretraining. To tack…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across a wide range of tasks. However, their proficiency and reliability in the specialized domain of financial data analysis, particularly focusing on data-driven thinking, remain uncertain. To bridge this gap, we introduce FinD…
Data selection is of great significance in pretraining large language models, given the variation in quality within the large-scale available training corpora. To achieve this, researchers are currently investigating the use of data influence to measure the importance of data instances, $i.e.,$ a…
The composition of pre-training datasets for large language models (LLMs) remains largely undisclosed, hindering transparency and efforts to optimize data quality—a critical driver of model performance. Current data selection methods, such as natural language quality assessments, diversity-based fil…
Although large language models (LLMs) acquire extensive world knowledge and some reasoning abilities, their proficiency in generating humorous sentences remains a challenge. Previous research has demonstrated that the humor generation capabilities of ChatGPT are confined to producing merely 25 uniqu…
This paper introduces the Chinese Essay Argument Mining Corpus (CEAMC), a manually annotated dataset designed for argument component classification on multiple levels of granularity. Existing argument component types in education remain simplistic and isolated, failing to encapsulate the complete ar…
Topic relevance of an essay demands that the composition adheres to a clear theme and aligns well with the essay prompt requirements, a critical aspect of essay quality evaluation. However, existing research of Automatic Essay Scoring (AES) for Chinese essays has overlooked topic relevance and lacks…
Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) is a crucial technique in Automated Essay Scoring (AES) for evaluating the fluency of essays. However, in Chinese, existing GEC datasets often fail to consider the importance of specific grammatical error types within compositional scenarios, lack research on data…
