Establishing Task Scaling Laws via Compute-Efficient Model Ladders

Akshita Bhagia, Jiacheng Liu, Alexander Wettig +9

We develop task scaling laws and model ladders to predict the individual task performance of pretrained language models (LMs) in the overtrained setting. Standard power laws for la…
