AutoData: Agentic Search for Pre-training Data Selection

Read the original on arXiv AI →

AutoData is an agent that autonomously searches for pre‑training data selection algorithms by exploring a program space of scoring, stratification, and stochastic rules. It iteratively refines these algorithms using validation feedback from a proxy model, discovering feature interactions that outperform existing human‑designed curation pipelines. The resulting selection recipe, found in an overnight search, transfers to larger scales and improves the downstream CORE metric.
