Researchers have developed a new method for fitting scaling laws in machine learning that significantly reduces costs. The approach treats scaling law fitting as a budget-aware sequential experimental design problem, selecting the most informative pilot experiments to maximize extrapolation accuracy. This uncertainty-aware technique can achieve performance close to using the full experimental set while consuming only about 10% of the total training budget. AI
