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…
Paloma: A Benchmark for Evaluating Language Model Fit
Ian Magnusson, Akshita Bhagia, Valentin Hofmann +13
Evaluations of language models (LMs) commonly report perplexity on monolithic data held out from training. Implicitly or explicitly, this data is composed of domains--varying distr…
Scalable Data Ablation Approximations for Language Models through Modular Training and Merging
Clara Na, Ian Magnusson, Ananya Harsh Jha +4
Training data compositions for Large Language Models (LLMs) can significantly affect their downstream performance. However, a thorough data ablation study exploring large sets of c…
Just CHOP: Embarrassingly Simple LLM Compression
Ananya Harsh Jha, Tom Sherborne, Evan Pete Walsh +3
Large language models (LLMs) enable unparalleled few- and zero-shot reasoning capabilities but at a high computational footprint. A growing assortment of methods for compression pr…
OLMo: Accelerating the Science of Language Models
Dirk Groeneveld, Iz Beltagy, Pete Walsh +40
Language models (LMs) have become ubiquitous in both NLP research and in commercial product offerings. As their commercial importance has surged, the most powerful models have beco…
Dolma: an Open Corpus of Three Trillion Tokens for Language Model Pretraining Research
Luca Soldaini, Rodney Kinney, Akshita Bhagia +33
Information about pretraining corpora used to train the current best-performing language models is seldom discussed: commercial models rarely detail their data, and even open model…
