Selecting high-quality data can improve the pretraining efficiency of large language models (LLMs). Existing methods generally rely on heuristic techniques or single quality signals, limiting their ability to evaluate data quality comprehensively. In this work, we propose FIRE, a flexible and scalab
Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced human language understanding and generation, with pretraining data quality and organization being crucial to their performance. Multi-stage pretraining is a promising approach, but existing methods often lack quantitative criteria for data par…
Large language models (LLMs) generally utilize a consistent data distribution throughout the pretraining process. However, as the model’s capability improves, it is intuitive that its data preferences dynamically change, indicating the need for pretraining with different data at various training sta…
