LLM Training: Part-of-Speech Impacts Concept Augmentation Effectiveness

A new research paper explores how the part of speech (POS) of a word influences the effectiveness of concept augmentation during the post-training phase of large language models (LLMs). The study found that while concept augmentation generally improves perplexity, especially on news data, verbs consistently yield the most significant downstream performance gains. Interestingly, representational analyses using CKA and linear probing indicated that the greatest downstream improvements did not always correlate with the most substantial alterations to the model's internal representations, suggesting a complex relationship between how conceptual information is introduced and its impact on LLM performance.
