LLMs adapted for Swedish journalism using continued pre-training

Researchers explored adapting large language models for Swedish journalism through continued pre-training. They curated a dataset of millions of news articles and developed a domain-specific benchmark to evaluate performance. The study found that continued pre-training improved generation quality and factual knowledge, particularly when combined with experience replay to prevent forgetting. However, improvements were not seen in discriminative tasks, and gains were only fully realized with specific fine-tuning methods like low-rank adaptation. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates methods for specializing LLMs for niche domains like journalism, potentially improving their utility in specific industries.

    Reading the News: Adapting Large Language Models to Swedish Journalism Through Continued Pre-Training

    Large language models are increasingly capable in general, but their utility can remain modest in niche or understudied areas. One approach to address this limitation is to specialise existing models through additional training on target-domain corpora. In this work, we investiga…
