Researchers have introduced a new concept called 'prior barrier' to quantify how well pretrained large language models (LLMs) support competing concepts during supervised fine-tuning (SFT). They observed that these prior barriers follow a long-tail distribution, meaning common concepts have lower barriers while rare concepts require more instruction to overcome higher barriers. To address this, they developed PASS, an adaptive SFT instruction selection method that considers which instructions provide useful evidence and where additional supervision is needed within a limited budget. Experiments demonstrated that PASS consistently outperforms seven state-of-the-art instruction selection methods. AI
IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and effective fine-tuning of LLMs, particularly for tasks involving rare concepts, potentially improving their performance on specialized or niche applications.
