DataComp-VLM: Improved Open Datasets for Vision-Language Models

Matteo Farina, Vishaal Udandarao, Thao Nguyen +33

Building performant Vision-Language Models (VLMs) requires carefully curating large-scale training datasets, yet the community lacks systematic benchmarks for evaluating such curat…

Concept-Aware Batch Sampling Improves Language-Image Pretraining

Adhiraj Ghosh, Vishaal Udandarao, Thao Nguyen +7

What data should a vision-language model be trained on? To answer this question, many data curation efforts center on the quality of a dataset. However, most of these existing meth…

Recycling the Web: A Method to Enhance Pre-training Data Quality and Quantity for Language Models

Thao Nguyen, Yang Li, Olga Golovneva +4

Scaling laws predict that the performance of large language models improves with increasing model size and data size. In practice, pre-training has been relying on massive web craw…

Better Alignment with Instruction Back-and-Forth Translation

Thao Nguyen, Jeffrey Li, Sewoong Oh +4

We propose a new method, instruction back-and-forth translation, to construct high-quality synthetic data grounded in world knowledge for aligning large language models (LLMs). Giv…

Multilingual Diversity Improves Vision-Language Representations

Thao Nguyen, Matthew Wallingford, Sebastin Santy +5

Massive web-crawled image-text datasets lay the foundation for recent progress in multimodal learning. These datasets are designed with the goal of training a model to do well on s…
