arXiv:2606. 14971v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While large and diverse datasets have driven recent advances in large models, identifying the optimal data mixture for pre-training and post-training remains a significant open problem.
arXiv:2508. 12116v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As numerous instruction-tuning datasets continue to emerge, dynamically balancing and optimizing their mixtures has become a critical challenge.
arXiv:2607. 22769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The training efficacy of large language models (LLMs) is fundamentally constrained by the quality and composition of training data.
Data mixture selection is critical for Large Language Model pretraining. Existing methods such as RegMix select a single static mixture by fitting a regression model on small-scale proxy runs.
arXiv:2606. 07597v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pre-training data mixtures are commonly tuned by running small-scale experiments and extrapolating to the target training budget.
arXiv:2607. 24516v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While data curation for Vision Language Models (VLMs) is increasingly active, public practice for constructing pretraining mixtures remains largely heuristic: practitioners stack datasets that pass quality filters, set cross-domain ratios by intuition, and lack a principled, attributable criterion for admitting new data, while frontier recipes remain undisclosed.
arXiv:2606. 18650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Large Language Model (LLM) datasets scale to trillions of tokens, data selection has emerged as a critical frontier to filter out uninformative noise and construct adaptive learning trajectories.
arXiv:2607. 01104v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In Large Language Model (LLM) training, data mixing plays a pivotal role in determining model performance.
arXiv:2606. 01081v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decision-focused learning (DFL) trains predictive models by optimizing downstream decision quality rather than standalone prediction accuracy.
arXiv:2606. 27171v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work addresses the problem of variance in stochastic gradient estimation for machine learning optimization.
arXiv:2607. 22577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling large language models (LLMs) has driven their success, yet dense Transformers couple capacity and computation: every parameter is activated for every token, making training and inference costs grow linearly with model size-a critical bottleneck as models approach trillion-parameter regimes.
arXiv:2605. 02701v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a robust gradient estimator based on per-sample gradient clipping and analyze its properties both theoretically and empirically.
arXiv:2510. 06048v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Effective data selection is essential for pretraining large language models (LLMs), enhancing efficiency and improving generalization to downstream tasks.
