New framework efficiently selects data for multimodal models

Researchers have developed a new framework called One-Step-Train (OST) to efficiently select high-quality synthetic data for training large multimodal models (LMMs). OST reframes data selection as an incremental optimization utility problem, estimating sample utility through a simulated single-step update on a proxy model. This approach significantly reduces training costs and time compared to methods like LLM-as-a-Judge, while also improving performance on benchmarks and mitigating issues with noisy data. AI

IMPACT This method could significantly reduce the computational cost of training large multimodal models, making them more accessible and efficient.

    Efficient Data Selection for Multimodal Models via Incremental Optimization Utility

    The scaling of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) is constrained by the quality-quantity trade-off inherent in synthetic data. Previous approaches, such as LLM-as-a-Judge, have proven their effectiveness in addressing this but suffer from prohibitive computational costs and lack of i…
