New TESS framework improves LLM data selection with transferable scoring

Researchers have developed a new framework called TESS (Transferable Example Scoring and Selection) to improve data selection for training large language models. Existing methods struggle with a trade-off between detailed data valuation and the ability to transfer learned weights to new datasets. TESS addresses this by using a Pointwise Value Matching objective, which leads to more stable optimization and better generalization. Experiments show TESS effectively transfers across different datasets and model sizes, demonstrating its scalability for LLM safety and instruction tuning. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM training efficiency and generalization by improving data selection methods.
