Token Cleaning: Fine-Grained Data Selection for LLM Supervised Fine-Tuning
Jinlong Pang, Na Di, Zhaowei Zhu +4
Recent studies show that in supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of large language models (LLMs), data quality matters more than quantity. While most data cleaning methods concentrate on f…
Small-Margin Preferences Still Matter-If You Train Them Right
Jinlong Pang, Zhaowei Zhu, Na Di +4
Preference optimization methods such as DPO align large language models (LLMs) using paired comparisons, but their effectiveness can be highly sensitive to the quality and difficul…
Incentivizing High-quality Participation From Federated Learning Agents
Jinlong Pang, Jiaheng Wei, Yifan Hua +2
Federated learning (FL) provides a promising paradigm for facilitating collaboration between multiple clients that jointly learn a global model without directly sharing their local…
Improving Data Efficiency via Curating LLM-Driven Rating Systems
Jinlong Pang, Jiaheng Wei, Ankit Parag Shah +6
Instruction tuning is critical for adapting large language models (LLMs) to downstream tasks, and recent studies have demonstrated that small amounts of human-curated data can outp…
Fairness Without Harm: An Influence-Guided Active Sampling Approach
Jinlong Pang, Jialu Wang, Zhaowei Zhu +3
The pursuit of fairness in machine learning (ML), ensuring that the models do not exhibit biases toward protected demographic groups, typically results in a compromise scenario. Th…
