Still following your human intuition to mix corpora from different sources for pre-training ๐Ÿง ? Everyone says that data mixture has a big impact on model performance, but how - and why๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ? Did you know that web corpora are actually highly impactful for downstream tasks ๐Ÿ†?

Check out our preprint "RegMix: Data Mixture as Regression for Language Model Pre-training" ๐Ÿ“„

๐Ÿ”ฌ 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! ๐Ÿ“ˆ
