Researchers have developed SynPro, a framework designed to enhance the learning process for large language models (LLMs) when faced with limited organic data. SynPro utilizes rephrasing and reformatting techniques, optimized through reinforcement learning, to present existing data in diverse ways, thereby facilitating deeper learning without introducing new information. This method aims to address the data-bound regime in LLM pretraining, where available human text is insufficient for scaling demands. Experiments with models of varying sizes demonstrated that SynPro can effectively increase the utility of organic data, surpassing standard repetition and even outperforming a non-data-bound oracle in certain scales.
