How Learning Rate Decay Wastes Your Best Data in Curriculum-Based LLM Pretraining
Kairong Luo, Zhenbo Sun, Haodong Wen +5
Due to the scarcity of high-quality data, large language models (LLMs) are often trained on mixtures of data with varying quality levels, even after sophisticated data curation. A…
Larger Datasets Can Be Repeated More: A Theoretical Analysis of Multi-Epoch Scaling in Linear Regression
Tingkai Yan, Haodong Wen, Binghui Li +3
While data scaling laws of large language models (LLMs) have been widely examined in the one-pass regime with massive corpora, their form under limited data and repeated epochs rem…
A Multi-Power Law for Loss Curve Prediction Across Learning Rate Schedules
Kairong Luo, Haodong Wen, Shengding Hu +5
Training large models is both resource-intensive and time-consuming, making it crucial to understand the quantitative relationship between model performance and hyperparameters. In…
Decoupling Knowledge and Reasoning in Transformers: A Modular Architecture with Generalized Cross-Attention
Zhenyu Guo, Wenguang Chen
Transformers have achieved remarkable success across diverse domains, but their monolithic architecture presents challenges in interpretability, adaptability, and scalability. This…
