Pre-training knowledge organization boosts AI model update efficiency

A new research paper explores how the organization of knowledge during pre-training impacts a language model's ability to efficiently update its knowledge base. Models trained on chronologically ordered data, termed 'specialists,' demonstrate a faster learning rate for new information compared to 'generalists' trained on randomly shuffled data. This specialization advantage is attributed to optimization dynamics, with a derived law predicting the update cost. The findings suggest strategies for organizing pre-training data to balance stable historical knowledge with efficient updates, showing benefits for real-world models and existing knowledge update tools.
