New method mines general data to boost LLM adaptation in low-resource domains

Researchers have developed a new method called NTK-Selector to improve the adaptation of large language models to low-resource domains. This technique mines useful general-domain data, specifically chain-of-thought examples, to supplement limited domain-specific information. By approximating the Neural Tangent Kernel, NTK-Selector identifies beneficial general-domain samples, leading to significant performance gains across various specialized fields. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM utility in specialized fields by leveraging general data, potentially reducing the need for extensive domain-specific datasets.

    Mining Useful General Data for Low-Resource Domain Adaptation

    arXiv:2511.07380v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adapting large language models (LLMs) to low-resource domains remains challenging due to the scarcity of domain-specific data. While in-domain data is limited, there exists a vast amount of general-domain data that shares simila…
