Open-sci-ref-0.01: open and reproducible reference baselines for language model and dataset comparison
Marianna Nezhurina, Jörg Franke, Taishi Nakamura +5
We introduce open-sci-ref, a family of dense transformer models trained as research baselines across multiple model (0.13B to 1.7B parameters) and token scales (up to 1T) on 8 rece…
Learning in Compact Spaces with Approximately Normalized Transformer
Jörg K. H. Franke, Urs Spiegelhalter, Marianna Nezhurina +3
The successful training of deep neural networks requires addressing challenges such as overfitting, numerical instabilities leading to divergence, and increasing variance in the re…
Scaling Laws for Robust Comparison of Open Foundation Language-Vision Models and Datasets
Marianna Nezhurina, Tomer Porian, Giovanni Pucceti +4
In studies of transferable learning, scaling laws are obtained for various important foundation models to predict their properties and performance at larger scales. We show here ho…
OpenThoughts: Data Recipes for Reasoning Models
Etash Guha, Ryan Marten, Sedrick Keh +47
Reasoning models have made rapid progress on many benchmarks involving math, code, and science. Yet, there are still many open questions about the best training recipes for reasoni…
DataComp-LM: In search of the next generation of training sets for language models
Jeffrey Li, Alex Fang, Georgios Smyrnis +56
We introduce DataComp for Language Models (DCLM), a testbed for controlled dataset experiments with the goal of improving language models. As part of DCLM, we provide a standardize…
Project Alexandria: Towards Freeing Scientific Knowledge from Copyright Burdens via LLMs
Christoph Schuhmann, Gollam Rabby, Ameya Prabhu +9
Paywalls, licenses and copyright rules often restrict the broad dissemination and reuse of scientific knowledge. We take the position that it is both legally and technically feasib…
