The Data Provenance Initiative: A Large Scale Audit of Dataset Licensing & Attribution in AI
Shayne Longpre, Robert Mahari, Anthony Chen +14
The race to train language models on vast, diverse, and inconsistently documented datasets has raised pressing concerns about the legal and ethical risks for practitioners. To reme…
The Foundation Model Transparency Index
Rishi Bommasani, Kevin Klyman, Shayne Longpre +5
Foundation models have rapidly permeated society, catalyzing a wave of generative AI applications spanning enterprise and consumer-facing contexts. While the societal impact of fou…
Prometheus: Inducing Fine-grained Evaluation Capability in Language Models
Seungone Kim, Jamin Shin, Yejin Cho +8
Recently, using a powerful proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) (e.g., GPT-4) as an evaluator for long-form responses has become the de facto standard. However, for practitioners…
OctoPack: Instruction Tuning Code Large Language Models
Niklas Muennighoff, Qian Liu, Armel Zebaze +7
Finetuning large language models (LLMs) on instructions leads to vast performance improvements on natural language tasks. We apply instruction tuning using code, leveraging the nat…
Mixture-of-Experts Meets Instruction Tuning:A Winning Combination for Large Language Models
Sheng Shen, Le Hou, Yanqi Zhou +17
Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) is a neural architecture design that can be utilized to add learnable parameters to Large Language Models (LLMs) without increasing inference cost.…
A Pretrainer's Guide to Training Data: Measuring the Effects of Data Age, Domain Coverage, Quality, & Toxicity
Shayne Longpre, Gregory Yauney, Emily Reif +8
Pretraining is the preliminary and fundamental step in developing capable language models (LM). Despite this, pretraining data design is critically under-documented and often guide…
The BigScience ROOTS Corpus: A 1.6TB Composite Multilingual Dataset
Hugo Laurençon, Lucile Saulnier, Thomas Wang +51
As language models grow ever larger, the need for large-scale high-quality text datasets has never been more pressing, especially in multilingual settings. The BigScience workshop,…
The Flan Collection: Designing Data and Methods for Effective Instruction Tuning
Shayne Longpre, Le Hou, Tu Vu +8
We study the design decisions of publicly available instruction tuning methods, and break down the development of Flan 2022 (Chung et al., 2022). Through careful ablation studies o…
