Still following your human intuition to mix corpora from different sources for language model pre-training 🧠? Everyone says that data mixture has a big impact on model performance, but how - and why🕵️? Did you know that web corpora are actually highly impactful for downstream tasks 🏆? Let's check out our preprint "RegMix: Data Mixture as Regression for Language Model Pre-training" 📄 🔬In this paper, we've proposed an automatic data mixture method RegMix that achieves a 6.3% improvement over human selection on the widely used HellaSwag benchmark - and it only needs a 2% extra training FLOPs! 📈 Details in the thread 🧵
