Recent discussions in the field of artificial intelligence have highlighted the significance of quality, diversity, and complexity in synthetic data generated by large language models (LLMs). A comprehensive survey has been released, addressing how these factors impact model performance and self-improvement capabilities. The survey emphasizes that the composition of synthetic data plays a crucial role in evaluating LLMs. Additionally, a new benchmark has been introduced to assess LLMs as synthetic data generators, revealing that their ability to produce synthetic data varies and is not necessarily linked to their problem-solving skills. The findings suggest that larger amounts of data from less powerful models may outperform smaller datasets from more advanced models. Furthermore, a new technique called ALMA (Alignment with Minimal Annotation) has been developed to enhance synthetic data generation while minimizing the risk of model collapse.
Everyone’s talking about synthetic data generation — but what’s the recipe for scaling it without model collapse? 🤔 Meet ALMA: Alignment with Minimal Annotation. We've developed a new technique for generating synthetic data and aligning LLMs that achieves performance close to… https://t.co/hh6WK3p6pu
Check out our new benchmark on Evaluating LMs as Synthetic Data Generators! Main findings: - LMs' ability to generate synthetic data varies - This is not necessarily correlated with problem solving ability - More data from cheaper models is often better than less from stronger https://t.co/HJCeLNOBTT
