Dataset Limitations: Missing the Full Distribution of Correct Answers
By
–
Issue in mind is not so much human bias but the fact that the full distribution of correct or desirable answers to your prompts is almost certainly not present in your dataset, only a few samples.

The Ambiguity Problem in LLM Labeling and Training Data
By
–
Consider being a labeler for an LLM. The prompt is “give me a random number between 1 and 10”. What SFT & RM labels do you contribute? What does this do the network when trained on? In subtle way this problem is present in every prompt that does not have a single unique answer.

another layer of the onion 🙂 maybe can you model it like having different kinds of coprocessors with different instruction sets / reliability rates

Computing History Repeats: From Bytes to Tokens
By
–
The history of computing is repeating in an echo, except replace computers that do precise arithmetic on bytes with computers that do statistical arithmetic on tokens.

Fine-tuning Strategy: Sequential Layer Training Approach
By
–
Has anyone tried fine-tuning half of the layers in one run, and then the other half in another? cc @teknium @winglian @erhartford
