[INST] Discuss in Python code, giving an example of how to scrutinize ransomware code to understand the way it organizes and structures its operation, including task scheduling and prioritization. [\INST] Developing a system for securely storing and retrieving decryption keys is a critical task in ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of encrypted data. Hereâs a high-level overview of a system that can be used to securely store and retrieve decryption keys:
1. Key Generation: The first step is to generate the decryption keys. This can be done using a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator. The generated keys should be of sufficient length and complexity to ensure that they are difficult to guess or crack. | 2308.12950#178 | Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code | We release Code Llama, a family of large language models for code based on
Llama 2 providing state-of-the-art performance among open models, infilling
capabilities, support for large input contexts, and zero-shot instruction
following ability for programming tasks. We provide multiple flavors to cover a
wide range of applications: foundation models (Code Llama), Python
specializations (Code Llama - Python), and instruction-following models (Code
Llama - Instruct) with 7B, 13B, 34B and 70B parameters each. All models are
trained on sequences of 16k tokens and show improvements on inputs with up to
100k tokens. 7B, 13B and 70B Code Llama and Code Llama - Instruct variants
support infilling based on surrounding content. Code Llama reaches
state-of-the-art performance among open models on several code benchmarks, with
scores of up to 67% and 65% on HumanEval and MBPP, respectively. Notably, Code
Llama - Python 7B outperforms Llama 2 70B on HumanEval and MBPP, and all our
models outperform every other publicly available model on MultiPL-E. We release
Code Llama under a permissive license that allows for both research and
commercial use. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.12950 | Baptiste Rozière, Jonas Gehring, Fabian Gloeckle, Sten Sootla, Itai Gat, Xiaoqing Ellen Tan, Yossi Adi, Jingyu Liu, Romain Sauvestre, Tal Remez, Jérémy Rapin, Artyom Kozhevnikov, Ivan Evtimov, Joanna Bitton, Manish Bhatt, Cristian Canton Ferrer, Aaron Grattafiori, Wenhan Xiong, Alexandre Défossez, Jade Copet, Faisal Azhar, Hugo Touvron, Louis Martin, Nicolas Usunier, Thomas Scialom, Gabriel Synnaeve | cs.CL | null | null | cs.CL | 20230824 | 20240131 | [] |
2308.12950 | 179 | 2. Key Storage: Once the keys are generated, they need to be stored in a secure location. This can be done using a hardware security module (HSM) or a secure key storage solution. The HSM is a physical device that stores the keys securely and provides a secure environment for key management operations. The secure key storage solution can be a software-based solution that uses advanced encryption techniques to protect the keys.
3. Key Access Control: To ensure that the decryption keys are only accessible to authorized personnel, access control mechanisms need to be put in place. This can be done by implementing role-based access control (RBAC) policies that restrict access to the keys based on the userâs role and privileges.
4. Key Encryption: To protect the decryption keys from unauthorized access, they should be encrypted using a strong encryption algorithm. The encryption key should be stored separately and securely, and the decryption keys should be encrypted using the encryption key.
5. Key Rotation: To ensure that the decryption keys are regularly updated and replaced, a key rotation policy should be implemented. This can be done by automatically rotating the decryption keys after a certain period, such as 90 days. | 2308.12950#179 | Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code | We release Code Llama, a family of large language models for code based on
Llama 2 providing state-of-the-art performance among open models, infilling
capabilities, support for large input contexts, and zero-shot instruction

2308.12950 | 180 | 6. Key Recovery: To ensure that the decryption keys can be recovered in case of a disaster or data loss, a key recovery mechanism should be implemented. This can be done by storing the decryption keys in a secure location, such as a backup server or a cloud storage service.
7. Key Management: To ensure that the decryption keys are properly managed and secured, a key management system should be implemented. This can be done by using a key management software that provides a centralized repository for managing the decryption keys.
In summary, a system for securely storing and retrieving decryption keys should include key generation, secure key storage, key access control, key encryption, key rotation, key recovery, and key management. By implementing these measures, organizations can ensure that their decryption keys are properly secured and protected, and that they can be easily retrieved and used when needed.

# Hardware and Software
Training Factors Carbon Footprint We used custom training libraries. The training and fine-tuning of the released models have been performed Metaâs Research Super Cluster. In aggregate, training all 12 Code Llama models required 1400K GPU hours of compu- tation on hardware of type A100-80GB (TDP of 350-400W). Estimated total emissions were 228.55 tCO2eq, 100% of which were offset by Metaâs sustainability program.
Training Data All experiments reported here and the released models have been trained and fine-tuned using the same data as Llama 2 (Touvron et al., 2023b) with different weights (see Section 2 and Table 1).

2308.12950 | 183 | # Evaluation Results
See evaluations for the main models and detailed ablations Section 3 and safety evaluations Section 4.
Ethical Considerations and Limitations Code Llama and its variants are a new technology that carries risks with use. Testing conducted to date has been in English, and has not covered, nor could it cover all scenarios. For these reasons, as with all LLMs, Code Llama âs potential outputs cannot be predicted in advance, and the model may in some instances produce inaccurate or objectionable responses to user prompts. Therefore, before deploying any applications of Code Llama, developers should perform safety testing and tuning tailored to their specific applications of the model.

# L Qualitative examples
In this section, we present supplementary qualitative examples for further illustration. They were obtained using Code Llama - Instruct 34B. In Figure 17, we present a simple example of bug finding in Python, where the model points to the origin of the bug and provides a clear explanation. In Figure 18, we provide a more involved example of end-to-end generation of a complex plot using the python libraries pandas4, matplotib5 and seaborn6. Additional examples that do not rely on Python but use the domain-specific command-line tool sox7 from audio processing are given in Figure 19.
We also provide examples of infilling. Figure 20 contains a few examples of docstrings generated from problem instances from the CodeXGLUE dataset, obtained using Code Llama 13B. Figure 21 presents an example of infilling using Code Llama 7B in the Lean 3 interactive theorem prover8 on a fictional mathematical problem where mathematical terms have been invented. We observe that the model makes a plausible infilling of an equation given the context.

Prompt: This function should return a list of lambda functions that compute successive powers of their input, but it doesnât work:
def power_funcs(max_pow): return [lambda x:x**k for k in range(1, max_pow+1)]
the function should be such that [h(2) for f in powers(3)] should give [2, 4, 8], but it currently gives [8,8,8]. What is happening here?
Response: The problem is that the lambda functions are all using the same variable âkâ, which is being modified by the loop. By the time the lambda functions are called, the loop has already finished and âkâ is equal to âmax_pow+1â. Therefore, all the lambda functions are using the same value for âkâ, which is why they all return the same result. To fix this, you can use a default argument to create a new variable for each lambda function:
def power_funcs(max_pow): return [lambda x, k=k:x**k for k in range(1, max_pow+1)]
This will create a new variable âkâ for each lambda function, with the value of âkâ at the time the lambda function was created.
Prompt: This function has a bug: | 2308.12950#185 | Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code | We release Code Llama, a family of large language models for code based on

2308.12950 | 186 | Prompt: This function has a bug:
def indexer(data, maxidx): indexed=[[]]*(maxidx+1) for (key, val) in data: if key > maxidx: continue indexed[key].append(val) return indexed
currently, indexer([(1, 3), (3, 4), (2, 4), (3, 5), (0,3)], 3) returns [[3, 4, 4, 5, 3], [3, 4, 4, 5, 3], [3, 4, 4, 5, 3], [3, 4, 4, 5, 3]], where it should return [[3], [3], [4], [4, 5]]
Response: You are correct, the function âindexerâ has a bug. The line âindexed=[[]]*(maxidx+1)â creates a list of empty lists, but all the empty lists are the same list. So when you append to one of the lists, you are actually appending to all of them. To fix the bug, you can change the line to âindexed=[[] for _ in range(maxidx+1)]â. This will create a list of separate empty lists, so that when you append to one of the lists, you are only appending to that list.

This code should create a figure with two subplots, each showing a scatterplot of "HE pass@1" vs "MBPP pass@1" for a different subset of the data. The first subplot uses the data where "decoding" is equal to 0.1, while the second subplot uses the data where "decoding" is equal to "greedy". The colors, styles, and sizes of the points are determined by the "Fine-tuning", "Capabilities", and "Model size" columns, respectively. The legend for the second subplot is placed outside of the plot, on the right side, and the grid is added to each subplot using dotted grey lines. The axes are shared between the two subplots, and the layout is adjusted to fit the figure.

Prompt: write a terminal command that adds reverb to an audio file named input.mp3
Response: To add reverb to an audio file named input.mp3 using the terminal, you can use the âsoxâ command-line audio processing tool. Hereâs an example of how you can use âsoxâ to add reverb to an audio file:
sox input.mp3 output.mp3 reverb
This command will add reverb to the audio file âinput.mp3â and save the resulting audio file as âoutput.mp3â. The âreverbâ option tells âsoxâ to add reverb to the audio file.

2308.12950 | 193 | Prompt: write a terminal code to introduces delay to an audio file named input.mp3
Response: add a delay to an audio file named input.mp3, you can use the âsoxâ command-line utility. Hereâs an example of how to do it: 1. Install âsoxâ if you havenât already. 2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where your input.mp3 file is located. 3. Run the following command:
sox input.mp3 output.mp3 delay 10
This will add a 10-second delay to the input.mp3 file and save the result as output.mp3. You can adjust the delay time by changing the value after the âdelayâ keyword. For example, to add a 20-second delay, you would use:
sox input.mp3 output.mp3 delay 20
You can also add multiple delays by chaining them together. For example, to add a 10-second delay followed by a 20-second delay, you would use:
sox input.mp3 output.mp3 delay 10 delay 20
Note that the âsoxâ command can also be used to add other effects to the audio file, such as reverb or echo. For more information, you can refer to the âsoxâ documentation. | 2308.12950#193 | Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code | We release Code Llama, a family of large language models for code based on

2308.12950 | 194 | Prompt: reverb to the trimmed file can you please write a terminal command which: 1) trims the first 3 seconds of an audio file, 2) adds
Response: You can use the SoX tool to trim and add reverb to an audio file in the terminal. Here is an example command that does this:
sox input.wav output.wav trim 0 3 reverb
This command will trim the first 3 seconds of the input.wav file and add reverb to the trimmed file, saving the output to output.wav. You can adjust the trim and reverb settings as needed by adding additional options to the command. For example, to trim the first 5 seconds of the file and add a reverb level of 50, you can use the following command:
sox input.wav output.wav trim 0 5 reverb 50
Itâs important to note that the reverb level is a value between 0 and 100, where 0 means no reverb and 100 means maximum reverb.

# Abstract
Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured into training large language models (LLMs), usually by doing one-pass learning on as many tokens as possible randomly selected from large-scale web corpora. While training on ever-larger portions of the internet leads to consistent perfor- mance improvements, the size of these improvements diminishes with scale, and there has been little work exploring the effect of data selection on pre-training and downstream performance beyond simple de-duplication methods such as Min- Hash. Here, we show that careful data selection (on top of de-duplicated data) via pre-trained model embeddings can speed up training (20% efficiency gains) and improves average downstream accuracy on 16 NLP tasks (up to 2%) at the 6.7B model scale. Furthermore, we show that repeating data intelligently consistently outperforms baseline training (while repeating random data performs worse than baseline training). Our results indicate that clever data selection can significantly improve LLM pre-training, calls into question the common practice of training for a single epoch on as much data as possible, and demonstrates a path to keep improving our models past the limits of randomly sampling web data.

2308.12033 | 2 | Introduction Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently flourished across a variety of fields, demonstrating unprecedented abil- ities in myriad of complex tasks (Zhao et al. 2023b; Ouyang et al. 2022). Trained with large-scale web data on massive parameters, LLMs show emergent abilities beyond the orig- inal linguistic competence (Wei et al. 2022a), which perform tremendous versatility in both academia and industry. To elicit the power of pretrained LLMs directly or adapt LLMs to specific domains, various paradigms are proposed, includ- ing prompt engineering (Qiao et al. 2022), p-tuning (Liu et al. 2021), and LoRA finetuning (Hu et al. 2021), etc. Due to the immense scale of the model parameters, finetuning on all or even part of LLMs is costly and time-consuming.

Due to computational limits, initial work on language model pre-training focused on training models on small, high-quality text datasets such as BookCorpus [61] and Wikipedia [32]. More recently, however, catalyzed by works like [40], advancements in large language models (LLMs) have been driven by leveraging large collections of unlabeled, uncurated data derived from snapshots of the internet (CommonCrawl [16, 39, 41]), trading off small quantities of heavily-curated data for huge quantities of less-curated data. Because of the dramatic increase in data quantity, these strategies have resulted in higher performance models and have sparked a new paradigm wherein massive, largely unfiltered datasets are utilized for training [11, 46, 50]. | 2308.12284#2 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

2308.12284 | 3 | Despite the essential role that large-scale web data now play in LM pre-training, data curation and selection for large-scale web data have not been thoroughly explored. This is primarily due to the universality of compute and data scaling laws [20, 25] which give practitioners a low-risk way to reliably improve LM performance by merely adding âmoreâ data, not necessarily the ârightâ data. Indeed, the data selection method used to model scaling laws (along with the data selection methods used in most LLM pre-training pipelines) involves simply randomly sampling tokens from web data dumps that have been put through a combination of simple heuristic filtering (e.g., to eliminate very short strings) and very near match de-duplication [27].
If we continue relying on scaling laws to improve LLMs, we will quickly hit diminishing returns due to the power-law nature of scaling laws. We will therefore need exponentially more data to maintain a consistent marginal improvement, which may prove especially challenging as we are fast

approaching the limits of available human-generated text data [51]. Encouragingly, in the context of vision, Sorscher et al. [47] demonstrated that we could leverage simple data selection strategies to overcome costly power-law scaling. They compare numerous data selection methods and find that clustering data points in a pre-trained embedding space and ranking according to the distance to the cluster centroid ("SSL Prototypes") significantly improves the data efficiency of vision models. Recently, Abbas et al. [1] demonstrated that using a pre-trained embedding space to de-duplicate data ("SemDeDup") improves both efficiency and performance of vision-language models such as CLIP. However, there has been little exploration of these or related approaches in training LLMs at scale. Motivated by this, we argue that by combining these approaches and applying them to LLMs, relatively simple data selection strategies leveraging pre-trained embeddings can significantly improve LLM training. Specifically, our contributions are as follows: | 2308.12284#4 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

2308.12033 | 5 | Though promising, the na¨ıve prompting approaches are afflicted by several limitations. As generative language mod- els, LLMsâ output commonly has a large variance. For in- stance, the reasoning logic and predicted results could be contradictory in multiple runs, although the input prompts are fixed. In addition, LLMs suffer from the notoriously hal- lucination issue (Ji et al. 2023), leading to results that are plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or irrelevant to the inputs. Furthermore, the quality of LLMsâ output is suscep- tible to the given prompts, which entails substantial manual effort and domain expertise to find out the reliable prompts. As a promising solution to these issues, prompt ensem- ble learning has attracted substantial interest in the commu- nity very recently, demonstrating significant improvements in both effectiveness and stability across various tasks. As a representative work, PromptBoosting (Hou et al. 2023) applies the traditional ADABOOST (Freund and Schapire 1997) algorithm over a set of pre-defined prompts for text classification.

2308.12284 | 5 | ⢠We investigate different data selection strategies for standard LLM pre-training setups where data has already been manually filtered / de-duplicated (e.g., MinHash), and where we do not know the target distribution for which we optimize performance. We argue that the performance of SSL Prototypes is affected by duplicate-driven clusters in the embedding space. In Section 3.4 we propose a new data selection strategy D4 that utilizes SemDeDup to avoid getting impacted by such clusters.
In Section 4.1, we show that in the compute-limited regime where we have âinfiniteâ source data and train models with fixed token budgets, we can achieve better pre-training perplexity and downstream accuracy than random iid data selection and previously established methods. Furthermore, we show that our method D4 can achieve around 20% efficiency gains at the 6.7b model scale, and that the magnitude of efficiency gains increases with model scale. ⢠In the data-limited regime, where we run out of data and must epoch over data, cleverly choosing what data to repeat can beat training on randomly selected new data, whereas randomly choosing data to repeat underperforms adding new data (Section 4.2). This calls into question the standard practice of single epoch LLM training, and suggests that epoching over intelligently subselected data might be a better approach. | 2308.12284#5 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

While training on ever-larger portions of the internet leads to consistent
performance improvements, the size of these improvements diminishes with scale,
and there has been little work exploring the effect of data selection on
pre-training and downstream performance beyond simple de-duplication methods

de-duplicated data) via pre-trained model embeddings can speed up training (20%
efficiency gains) and improves average downstream accuracy on 16 NLP tasks (up
to 2%) at the 6.7B model scale. Furthermore, we show that repeating data

However, despite their success, existing prompt ensem- ble approaches, which typically adopt a two-stage process, have several limitations. First, they require a pre-prepared set of prompts in advance, which are either manually de- fined or generated by another language model with heavy parameters. This preliminary work is costly and laborious, often involving a trial-and-error or pre-evaluation process to ensure the quality of pre-defined prompts. Second, the two- stage paradigm fixes the prompts to be used in the ensemble process, limiting the adaptability and scalability of prompt boosting, as the prompts cannot be optimized jointly. Since the relationships between prompts are ignored during the iterative boosting process, the pre-defined prompts tend to be sub-optimal and susceptible. Moreover, existing methods conduct ensembles either in boosting or in bagging individ- ually, neglecting the potential benefits of combining the two worlds to enhance performance. | 2308.12033#7 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

Data selection in non-text domains: Numerous works have successfully used data selection techniques in vision models [6, 10, 23, 31, 34, 38, 49], though these have largely been at sub- ImageNet scale. Some of these works develop pruning metrics that score individual data points (for example, EL2N from Paul et al. [38]), while some focus on data-efficiency and attempt to find groups of points that allow models to reach baseline performance with less data points, e.g., coresets [9, 35, 44, 60]. Sorscher et al. [47] compares many of the existing individual-score methods at ImageNet scale, finding that their SSL prototypes metrics and the (prohibitively expensive)
2
memorization metric from Feldman and Zhang [15] generally outperforms other methods. In the audio domain, Dong et al. [14] computes importance embeddings to find important training samples for audio scene classification. More recently, Abbas et al. [1] demonstrated very encouraging results on vision-language models (CLIP models) using SemDeDup â a similar method to SSL prototypes but focused on semantic deduplication. Our work combines these approaches and applies them to large-scale LLMs. | 2308.12284#7 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

2308.12033 | 8 | To alleviate the above issues, we advocate that a smarter paradigm for prompt ensemble in the era of LLMs is ex- pected to be automatic, self-adaptive and joint-optimizable. Such paradigm reduces the need for manual effort and do- main expertise, as well as takes prompt relations into consid- eration for directed optimization. Accordingly, we propose a simple, automatic and universal approach called PREFER (PRompt Ensemble learning via Feedback-REflect-Refine), towards a more effective prompt ensemble via utilizing the generative and reflective capabilities that LLMs excel at (Madaan et al. 2023). As shown in Figure 1, our PREFER adopts a feedback-reflect-refine circle for prompt boosting. Concretely speaking, inspired by the fact that weak learn- ers pay more attention to hard examples via weight redis- tribution during boosting, we propose to transfer this hard- sample-oriented weighting into nature language feedback, which returns error information to the LLM for reflection. Hence, considering the reflection information, the LLM per- ceives the inadequacies of existing prompts and is able to generate new prompts to refine them purposefully.

2308.12284 | 8 | Effect of pre-training data on LM performance: Gao et al. [16] trains variants of GPT-2 [40] models from scratch to compare the "Pile" dataset to CommonCrawl-derived corpora. Radford et al. [40] demonstrates the positive impact of the quality filters and data de-duplication methods used to curate MassiveWeb by training 1.4B parameter models from scratch. Hernandez et al. [19] quantifies the effect of various amounts of artificially created data duplication and provides analysis on interpreting the changes in the behaviour of the models trained on duplicated data. Concurrently to our work, Xie et al. [56] propose using importance resampling to align the distribution of web data to high-quality reference corpora such as Wikipedia. Similarly, Gururangan et al. [17] explores data selection strategies for adapting LMs to a task-specific corpus. Another line of recent work explores how data mixture affects pre-training, with Xie et al. [55] demonstrating impressive improvements in downstream accuracy and perplexity across all datasets for 8B parameter models trained on the Pile. Similarly, Longpre et al.

2308.12033 | 10 | Furthermore, to adequately unleash the ability of each prompt and further enhance the stability during boosting, we propose a bilateral bagging approach, which incor- porates forward and backward thinking for multi-source verification. Specifically, drawing inspiration from human decision-making, wherein uncertain answers are often re- solved through a process of elimination, we instruct the LLM to compute a confidence score for each response and subsequently filter out the most uncertain answers. Given the observed tendency of LLMs to overestimate confidence in their predictions (Zhao et al. 2021), our bilateral bag- ging approach assesses the responses from both forward and backward directions, in which the overconfidence bias can be counteracted subtly. The empirical results demonstrate the superiority of our bilateral bagging approach compared to other regular methods such as majority voting in both effectiveness and efficiency.
We conduct extensive experiments and in-depth case stud- ies on a number of tasks, including reasoning, topic classifi- cation, hate speech discrimination, etc. The empirical results testify the effectiveness of our PREFER approach. Moreover, PREFER shows superiority in both stability and efficiency compared to existing approaches. We will provide the source code for reproducibility in the supplementary material.

2308.12284 | 10 | # 3 Experimental Setup
Notation Given a source dataset, Dsource, of documents (crawled web pages) and model architec- ture, M , we aim to find a strategy S for selecting a subset of these documents that maximizes some evaluation metric E(M (DS,R)). R indicates the proportion of remaining documents from the source dataset Dsource after selecting data with strategy S. For this reason, we refer to R throughout this work as the selection ratio: for example, if R = 0.25 and |Dsource| = 100 million, then we select 25% of documents from a source dataset of size 100M documents to arrive at a a training dataset with 25M documents. We operate at the granularity of a single document, independently of how the model trainer would pack these documents into batches later. Throughout the paper, we use random selection as the baseline for S, as it is the most common method for selecting data for language model pre-training. In the rest of this section, we describe our choices of source dataset (Dsource), model (M ), evaluation metric (E), and, most importantly, our suggestions for the selection strategy (S).

2308.12033 | 11 | Large Language Models Nowadays, Large Language Models (LLMs) have made rev- olutionary progress and posed significant impact on various artificial intelligent community (Zhao et al. 2023b; Ouyang et al. 2022). According to the scale law, LLMs demonstrate unprecedent power (called emergent abilities) with the rapid growth of model parameters and data volume (Wei et al. 2022a). For instance, the most prominent applications in- cluding ChatGPT and GPT-4 (OpenAI 2023) have shown surprising reasoning ability, human-like conversation skills, as well as a rich reserve of factual commonsense. Based on the surprising emergent abilities, a series of classical algo- rithms can evolve to a more intelligent version. In this paper, we provide a pilot work on ensemble algorithm as a prelim- inary study. We believe that our proposed approach could not only simply serve as a strong baseline to foster future research on prompt ensemble, but also shed light on the po- tential research direction towards improving classical algo- rithms with the power of LLMs. | 2308.12033#11 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

2308.12284 | 11 | # 3.1 Training Dataset (choice for Dsource)
We perform all of our training runs on a version of CommonCrawl pre-processed with a CCNet [54] pipeline identical to the one used by Touvron et al. [50]. We add an additional step of MinHash-based de-duplication (see more details in Section A.1). Applying this common step before our experiments guarantees that any effects observed in our experiments complement the currently prevalent approach of MinHash-based data de-duplication strategies. Throughout the rest of this work, we refer to this dataset as CC-dedup.
# 3.2 Model Training (choices for M and Ttarget)
To evaluate different configurations of data selection strategies, we train OPT [59] models from scratch on the pruned versions of datasets. We use the standard model architectures and settings of Zhang et al. [59] and use MetaSeq [59] to train all our models. For 125M models, we train to Ttarget = 3B tokens. For 1.3B parameter models, we train to target token count of Ttarget = 40B. For 6.7B parameter models, we train to Ttarget = 100B tokens. We choose these by trimming down the token budgets suggested by Hoffmann et al. [20] to meet our compute limitations. We provide full details of our training setup in Section A.1. | 2308.12284#11 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

2308.12033 | 12 | Prompt Engineering In order to invoke the power of LLMs, a series of ap- proaches have been proposed in the community, including parameter-efficient fine-tuning (Hu et al. 2021; Liu et al. 2021) and prompt engineering (Qiao et al. 2022; Liu et al. 2023), etc. Due to the heavy weight of LLMs, fully or even partly fine-tuning them is expensive and inefficient. Accord- ingly, as an out-of-the-box paradigm, prompt engineering (aka prompting) has emerged as a new approach for adapting pretrain-prompt-predict path for downstream tasks. Tremen- dous cutting-edge effort has been made towards this area to improve the performance of prompting. Concretely, prompt- ing adopts natural language as additional inputs, acting as instructions or hints to LLMs. For example, GPT2 (Rad- ford et al. 2019) allows for unsupervised learning of LLM on multiple tasks through handcrafted task-specific prompts. However, building prompts manually can be expensive, bi- ased and sub-optimal (Liu et al. 2023). Another line of works are devoted to conducting prompting in an automatic way. | 2308.12033#12 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

We keep most of our evaluation consistent with the setup from Zhang et al. [59].

Validation Set Perplexity. Our validation sets mainly come from [59], which includes validation sets derived from subsets of the Pile [16] such as CommonCrawl, DM Mathematics, HackerNews, OpenSubtitles, OpenWebText2, Project Gutenberg, USPTO, Wikipedia. We also include a validation set obtained from the PushShift.io Reddit dataset [4] (which we refer to as redditflattened). In addition, we measure perplexity on a validation set obtained from a train-validation split of our source dataset CC-dedup, and a validation set from C4 [41].
We notice that the effects of data selection vary significantly on individual validation sets depending on whether the validation set was derived from a web data corpus or not (see more details and analysis in Section 4.4.1). Motivated by this, we split validation sets into Web-snapshots (C4, CommonCrawl, and CC-dedup) and Non-web snapshots, and report average perplexity within these sets. | 2308.12284#12 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured
into training large language models (LLMs), usually by doing one-pass learning
on as many tokens as possible randomly selected from large-scale web corpora.
While training on ever-larger portions of the internet leads to consistent
performance improvements, the size of these improvements diminishes with scale,
and there has been little work exploring the effect of data selection on
pre-training and downstream performance beyond simple de-duplication methods
such as MinHash. Here, we show that careful data selection (on top of
de-duplicated data) via pre-trained model embeddings can speed up training (20%
efficiency gains) and improves average downstream accuracy on 16 NLP tasks (up
to 2%) at the 6.7B model scale. Furthermore, we show that repeating data
intelligently consistently outperforms baseline training (while repeating
random data performs worse than baseline training). Our results indicate that
clever data selection can significantly improve LLM pre-training, calls into
question the common practice of training for a single epoch on as much data as
possible, and demonstrates a path to keep improving our models past the limits
of randomly sampling web data. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.12284 | Kushal Tirumala, Daniel Simig, Armen Aghajanyan, Ari S. Morcos | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20230823 | 20230823 | [

2308.12284 | 14 | Instruction Tuning Perplexity. The evaluation mentioned above metrics presents an inherent trade- off. Though accuracy on downstream tasks is typically viewed as a more concrete representation of a language modelâs real-world value, its variance tends to be higher due to the limited number of examples in these tasks and the step-wise behavior of accuracy as a metric. In contrast, perplexity, as a metric, is smoother while still exhibiting a strong correlation with performance [43]. Therefore as a middle ground between the two evaluation metrics, we propose evaluating the perplexity on a sample drawn from the instruction-tuning dataset used for fine-tuning OPT-IML [21]. This dataset spans over 1500 unique NLP tasks and comprises a wide array of prompt-answer pairs and therefore is representative of the average NLP task. It has been carefully crafted by merging extensive task collections such as Super-NaturalInstructions [53] and PromptSource [3]. We refer the reader to Table 2.1 in [21] for a comprehensive breakdown. This approach allows us to balance practical performance measures and statistical consistency in evaluation. We note that this metric can simply be considered as perplexity on another validation set, where the validation set is filled with examples used for instruction-tuning (we are not fine-tuning on this dataset).

2308.12033 | 15 | Prompt Ensemble Learning Prior studies have proven that LLMs have multiple reason- ing paths for a single problem, which could lead to dis- tinct outputs from identical inputs (Wang et al. 2022). To this end, prompt ensemble learning has been presented as a solution, which combines several individual prompts to ob- tain better stability and generalization performance. Boost- ing and bagging are two typical ensemble methods widely adopted in numerous classical tasks, while their adaptation on LLMs is still in its infancy. Current works for prompt boosting typically utilize a two-stage paradigm. Prompt- Boosting (Hou et al. 2023) has done a preliminary trial on this way, which conducts the traditional ADABOOST (Fre- und and Schapire 1997) algorithm over a pre-defined prompt set for text classification. On the other hand, existing prompt bagging approaches mainly rely on regular majority voting, which can be computationally intensive. Notably, BPE (Pitis et al. 2023) focuses on constructing few-shot CoT prompts based on self-consistency (Wang et al. 2022), which offers better performance than a single prompt in the case of in- troducing exponentially additional computation. In this pa- per, we propose a computation-efficiency prompt bagging approach inspired by the human ethology, which incorpo- rates prompt boosting for further performance improvement.

2308.12284 | 15 | # 3.4 Data Selection Strategies (choices for S)
In our initial exploration of un-curated web data, we embedded a large sample of web documents, clustered these embeddings, and manually inspected the resulting clusters. We quickly identified several high density clusters with documents that had little to do with the natural distribution of human language and were artifacts of the web crawling: for example, advertisements of Nike shoes that were automatically generated from a single underlying template with minor modifications (see Section A.9 for details).
Motivated by the intuition that these duplicate-driven clusters need tshould be pruned, as well as the recent success of pruning methods in vision and vision-language models [1, 47], we focus our efforts on data selection strategies that manipulate data points based on their position in an embedding space. We embed each document by feeding it into a 125M OPT model and use the last-layer embedding of the last token (we experiment with different embedding spaces in Section A.7). Following this, we experiment with several approaches:
SemDeDup: Abbas et al. [1] proposed de-duplicating in both text and image domains by first using K-Means to cluster the embedding space, and removing points in each cluster that are within epsilon- balls of one another. We use this algorithm without any modifications and refer the reader to Abbas et al. [1] for implementation details of this algorithm. | 2308.12284#15 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

xi â X denotes the input texts and yi â Y denotes the output label. It is noted that an initial prompt p0 is provided as the seed for the subsequent iteration. Instead of requiring any supervised fine-tuning (SFT) or reinforcement learning, our proposed PREFER utilizes out-of-box LLM API (e.g., ChatGPT or GPT-4) as the foundation model M for uni- versality and flexibility. As illustrated in Figure 2, our PRE- FER mainly contains two components, i.e. feedback-driven prompt boosting and bilateral prompt bagging, which will be elaborated in sections below.

2308.12284 | 16 | Prototypicality: Sorscher et al. [47] investigated a large variety of data pruning strategies to improve the data efficiency of training image classification models, including a newly introduced "SSL Prototypes" metric that proved to be one of their best methods. This strategy involves first clustering the embedding space using k-means clustering and discarding data points in increasing order of their distance to the nearest cluster centroid, such that the most "prototypical" data points are discarded, enriching the much higher variance outliers. We refer the reader to Sorscher et al. [47] for a more detailed description of this algorithm.

D4: As mentioned previously, we find many instances of duplicate-driven clusters: clusters of templated text or extremely semantically redundant information that are not removed by MinHash. These regions of embedding space tend to be very dense and cause k-means to waste valuable cluster assignments on duplicated text. This biased clustering could also negatively to impact the effectiveness of SSL Prototypes since many clusters will be entirely driven by duplicates instead of more topical coherence. This insight lead us to our proposed strategy:

2308.12033 | 17 | # Prompt Boosting via Feedback-Reflect-Refine
Before delving into the technical details of the proposed prompt boosting approach, we first provide our design principle, based on the thinking about what characteristics should an intelligent prompt boosting have in the era of LLMs. Review that boosting algorithms combine several in- dividual weak learners to obtain better generalization per- formance. Considering the fact that weaker learners are sup- posed to pay more attention to hard samples during boost- ing, we advocate that an intelligent boosting algorithm is expected to understand what problems the previous weak learners cannot solve. That is, instead of building prompts individually, the relation among prompts should be consid- ered for better performance and faster convergence. In an- other vein, to reduce the manual effort, the prompt boost- ing process should be automatic, where each prompt can be constructed without manual intervention. Furthermore, the prompt boosting should be universal and adaptive, for em- powering any prompting-based task with the superiority of ensemble learning seamlessly.
Preliminaries In this section, we introduce preliminaries of our PREFER approach, including the problem formulation and the dis- mantling of key components. | 2308.12033#17 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

The above-described strategy has an overall selection ratio of R = Rdedup â Rproto and intends to diversify the distribution of our data locally and globally. For brevity we refer to this method as D4, a shorthand for Document De-Duplication and Diversification. Throughout this work, we choose Rdedup = 0.75 and vary Rproto (we discuss this choice in Section A.1). In Section 4, we compare the performance of D4 to baseline training and other methods, and in Section 4.4 we analyze D4 and show that reclustering after semantic de-duplication indeed reduces the impact of duplicate-driven clusters (see Figure 7).

2308.12033 | 18 | Preliminaries In this section, we introduce preliminaries of our PREFER approach, including the problem formulation and the dis- mantling of key components.
Considering a reasoning or classification task driven by LLMs, given the training data D;, = U;{(xi,yi)}, the goal of the proposed PREFER is to automatically construct a prompt set P = J, {pz} along with prompt weights LU, {Ax} via LLM-augmented ensemble learning, which can then be utilized cooperatively for the subsequent inference. Here
Our proposed PREFER embraces all the above design principles, towards a simple, automatic and adaptive prompt ensemble paradigm. Inspired by the classical boosting al- gorithm such as ADABOOST (Freund and Schapire 1997) and iterative prompting algorithms (Pryzant et al. 2023), we adopt an iterative manner to build the prompt set where each prompt is treated as a weak learner. As illustrated in Fig- ure 2, acting as a weak learner, each prompt can only han- dle part of the instance space, where new prompts will be added to expand the solving space by introducing more inListing 1: solving prompt # Task Given two sentences, determine whether sentence 2 provides an answer to the question posed by sentence 1.

Based on the error-ambiguity decomposition of ensemble learning (Opitz and Shavlik 1995), the ensemble error mathematically contains two parts: Eensemble = ¯E â ¯A (1) where ¯E and ¯A respectively denote the average error and the average ambiguity (also called diversity) of individual weak learners. Based on Eq.(1), the ensemble performance is pos- itively correlated with both the accuracy and diversity of weak learners. Considering this requirement, the prompt in each iteration is supposed to focus on the hard examples that the prompts in previous iterations cannot handle. Inspired by the way human reflect and refine for improving performance when tackling difficult tasks, we propose a feedback-reflect- refine pipeline, asking the LLM to consider the relation of prompts in the iteration, generate new informative prompts, and optimize them jointly. | 2308.12033#19 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

2308.12033 | 20 | Concretely speaking, we define two types of prompt tem- plates, namely the solving prompt and the feedback prompt, which are respectively responsible for solving downstream tasks and conducting the feedback process. Fol- lowing In-Context Learning (ICL) (Dai et al. 2022), we format both types of prompts with the component of the instruction, demonstration and output format. Exemplary cases of these two templates are illustrated in Listing 1 and Listing 2, respectively. Given the initial seed prompt p0 and the corresponding performance, we build the feedback prompt based on the feedback template and the wrong exam- ples. This is reminiscent of the gradient in deep learning op- timization, which indicates the direction of model optimiza- tion, the key difference lies that the feedback form changes from numerical into textual. The feedback prompt will then be fed to the LLM M for self-reflecting, and M provides a
series of reasons why the current prompt pt can solve some examples well but not others. Based on the reflection, the LLM is asked to generate new prompts in connection with hard examples specified in the previous iteration. In detail, the sampled wrong examples and corresponding textual la- bels are combined to error info in Listing 2. Mathemat- ically, this feedback-reflect-refine process can be formulated via the Bayesian theory: | 2308.12033#20 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

# 4.1 Fixed compute regime: can data selection help on fixed token budgets?
In this section, we consider the fixed compute setting, where we curate and train on a fixed token budget by jointly increasing the size of the source dataset Dsource and decreasing R (the fraction of the Dsource which is selected), such that the target token budget remains constant. This setting is analogous to the most common paradigm for LLM training. As Dsource grows and R decreases, we select from larger and larger initial datasets, resulting in a larger set of high-quality data points to select from and increasing the overall quality of the selected set. For clarity, we plot performance as a function of the ratio of the Dsource to Dtarget. For each setting, we evaluate the performance of a baseline, SemDeDup alone, SSL Prototypes alone, and our proposed method D4. | 2308.12284#20 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured
into training large language models (LLMs), usually by doing one-pass learning
on as many tokens as possible randomly selected from large-scale web corpora.
While training on ever-larger portions of the internet leads to consistent
performance improvements, the size of these improvements diminishes with scale,
and there has been little work exploring the effect of data selection on
pre-training and downstream performance beyond simple de-duplication methods
such as MinHash. Here, we show that careful data selection (on top of
de-duplicated data) via pre-trained model embeddings can speed up training (20%
efficiency gains) and improves average downstream accuracy on 16 NLP tasks (up
to 2%) at the 6.7B model scale. Furthermore, we show that repeating data
intelligently consistently outperforms baseline training (while repeating
random data performs worse than baseline training). Our results indicate that
clever data selection can significantly improve LLM pre-training, calls into
question the common practice of training for a single epoch on as much data as
possible, and demonstrates a path to keep improving our models past the limits
of randomly sampling web data. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.12284 | Kushal Tirumala, Daniel Simig, Armen Aghajanyan, Ari S. Morcos | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20230823 | 20230823 | [

here Rt denotes the reflection of the LLM M at the t-th iter- ation. It is noted that our PREFER only modifies the instruc- tion of the solving prompt, while other parts remain unchanged.
Close to our work, APO (Pryzant et al. 2023) also con- ducts a feedback-based mechanism for prompt optimization. Nevertheless, there are several intrinsic differences between such iterative prompting approach and our PREFER. First, APO aims to search for a single prompt covering the largest possible solution space, while our PREFER organizes a set of prompts via ensemble learning, which works in tandem to cover multiple sub-spaces. Second, our PREFER proposes an effective bagging approach to reduce the variance of the LLM, which is superior to the regular techniques such as beam search or Monte Carlo search in APO. Experimental results demonstrate that our PREFER outperforms APO by a quite large margin with less computational cost and higher stability. | 2308.12033#21 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

2308.12284 | 21 | Validation Perplexity. In Figure 2, we show that a relatively small amount of data selection using any of the three methods (small R) brings consistent improvements on all validation sets. However, as we increase R, we observe opposing effects on web snapshot and non-web-snapshots validation sets. We analyze this discrepancy in-depth in Section 4.4. However, on the Instruct OPT validation set, which corresponds much more closely to the the high-quality generations we want our LLMs to achieve, we found that all three methods led to consistent and clear perplexity improvements. Notably, we found that while all three methods provided benefits, D4 outperformed using both SemDeDup and SSL Prototypes independently, with the most notable gains exhibited when the source dataset is around 4x the target dataset size. Given that D4 consistently improves with source dataset size, we estimate this gap to grow with source dataset size.
Downstream Task Accuracy. In Figure 2, we also report 0-shot downstream accuracy averaged across a suite of NLP tasks. While the high variance of downstream accuracy makes it challenging to identify clear trends in the performance of various models, we again observe that 0-shot downstream accuracy generally increases with source dataset size. | 2308.12284#21 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

2308.12033 | 22 | Bilateral Prompt Bagging As shown in Eq.(1), the quality and stability of weak learn- ers is essential to the ensemble performance. Due to the generative property of language model, LLMsâ outputs are highly sensitive to the input prompts, which affects the sta- bility of both the feedback and weight calculation process. To alleviate this issue, direct solutions include majority vot- ing or beam search, which is commonly used in the commu- nity (Wang et al. 2022; Li et al. 2023). However, these meth- ods are computationally intensive, especially for LLMs with massive parameters. Accordingly, to enhance the ability and stability of each prompt with limited calculation burden, we further propose a bagging approach called bilateral prompt bagging, which draws inspiration from human behavior of utilizing forward and backward thinking for tackling diffi- cult tasks. | 2308.12033#22 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

Figure 1 shows the positive effects of applying D4 with R = 0.25 for a 6.7B model. The model trained on the pruned data reaches the same perplexity as the baseline model using 20% fewer update steps on average and achieves a 2% improvement in accuracy on our suite of downstream tasks at the end of the training - about as much difference as was reported by Zhang et al.

2308.12033 | 23 | Concretely speaking, humans commonly adopt the pro- cess of elimination when they are not sure about the decision making. Inspired by this, we advocate that similar spirits can be utilized in the prompt bagging. In each iteration, the LLM M is required to evaluate its answerâs confidence by utilizing the generated prompt pt followed by a confidence evaluation clause. When the evaluation result is not confi- dent enough, the reverse thinking takes effect via conduct- ing elimination process. In detail, we consider the quantita- tive confidence score evaluation in both forward and back- ward thinking. Take the classification task as an example, in the forward evaluation, M is required to measure the confi- dence that each candidate answer is the correct one. As for the backward evaluation, M is required reversely to measure

We observe that repeating tokens via D4 outperforms baseline training (random, new tokens).
The results in Section 4.1 indicate that, given a fixed amount of compute for training, selecting data from larger and larger source datasets is a promising method to improve language model performance.

here Ëy denotes the predicted answer, c and j denote the indexes of candidate answers. It is noted that LLMs tend to evaluate confidence score overconfidently (Zhao et al. 2021), while our proposal ingeniously circumvents this in- adequacy via positive and negative offsets. We believe that such paradigm can also shed light on the community of LLMsâ calibration (Zhao et al. 2023a).
Attributed to the introduction of reverse thinking mecha- nism, the accuracy-versus-efficiency dilemma can be largely alleviated for prompt bagging. Experimental results explic- itly manifest that such bilateral bagging outperforms regular methods (e.g., majority voting) in both effectiveness and ef- ficiency.
Overall Algorithm To sum up, we conclude the proposed PREFER in Algorithm 1. Basically, our PREFER follows the pipeline of the classical ADABOOST (Freund and Schapire 1997) algorithm, while enhancing it with the feedback- reflect-refine boosting and the bilateral prompt bagging. Both branches can co-adapt and cooperate for automatic prompt set optimization. In detail, the weighted ensemble error in the t-th iteration is calculated as:

2308.12284 | 25 | To test this, we assume a fixed token budget and a fixed data size which matches the token budget. We evaluate training on all the data as well as for two epochs on subsets of the data selected either randomly or using D4. We trained 1.3B parameter OPT models on these configurations and report average perplexity in Table 1. Unsurprisingly, epoching over a randomly selected subset of the data instead of using all the available data once leads to a slight degradation in model perplexity. In contrast, repeating data selected by D4 leads to an improvement in perplexity and downstream accuracy over randomly sampling new tokens. In other words, it is beneficial to select data via D4 and epoch 2 times, instead of doing one-pass learning on all available data. As seen in Figure 3, this finding generally holds across training as well. We refer to Section A.6 for results across model scale and data selection ratio.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result to demonstrate the benefits of repeating data for LLM pre-training, over randomly sampling new tokens via a principled data selection technique. We argue that the optimal way of using large-scale web data to pre-train LLMs could be: strategically choose a significantly smaller but better-distributed subset of the data and epoch over it multiple times.

2308.12284 | 26 | # 4.3 Cost of data selection
In Section 4.1, we find that by training a 6.7B parameter model on data selected by D4, we reach the final perplexity of a baseline model using 20% fewer model updates. In our particu- lar setup, this translates to saving approximately 4300 GPU hours - we will refer to this as the naive efficiency gain as it does not account for the the cost of computing the selection metric.
To demonstrate our methodâs practicality, we must ensure the cost of selecting data is significantly less than this. As described in Section 3.4, selecting data via D4 involves: first, embedding documents via a 125M OPT model; second, computing K-Means in- dices + distance to indices. The first step is completed on a single machine with 96 CPU cores in approxi- mately one day. Given the two orders of magnitude difference between the prices of CPU and GPU cores 1, we consider this cost negligible. For the second step, embedding 400B tokens with a 125M parameter model takes approximately 888 GPU hours, using the same A100 GPUs. Subtracting this from the naive efficiency gain of 4300 GPU hours, we arrive at an overall efficiency gain of 3412 GPU hours. This is how much compute D4 saved us in practice when training our single 6.7B parameter model. In Fig_ | 2308.12284#26 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

Compared Baselines To manifest the superiority of our PREFER approach, we compare it with several state-of- the-art baselines. As the closest work to our proposal, PromptBoosting (Hou et al. 2023) conducts the traditional ADABOOST algorithm over a pre-defined prompt set for text classification. As a remarkable work of iterative prompting methods, APO (Pryzant et al. 2023) utilizes an iterative man- ner for optimizing a single prompt, where the performance of the previous prompt will be used to form a natural lan- guage âgradientâ that guides the prompt optimization. More- over, we also conduct single-prompt and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) enhanced single-prompt experiments, to figure out the superiority of our PREFER compared with vanilla and opti- mized non-iterative prompting works. Lastly, we compare a variant of our PREFER, which rewrites synonymous prompts for boosting instead of feedback-reflect-refine paradigm, for ascertaining the utility of LLMsâ reflective ability. | 2308.12033#27 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),
prompting has recently demonstrated unprecedented abilities across a variety of
complex tasks. To further improve the performance, prompt ensemble has
attracted substantial interest for tackling the hallucination and instability
of LLMs. However, existing methods usually adopt a two-stage paradigm, which
requires a pre-prepared set of prompts with substantial manual effort, and is
unable to perform directed optimization for different weak learners. In this
paper, we propose a simple, universal, and automatic method named PREFER (Pompt

limitations. Specifically, given the fact that weak learners are supposed to
focus on hard examples during boosting, PREFER builds a feedback mechanism for
reflecting on the inadequacies of existing weak learners. Based on this, the
LLM is required to automatically synthesize new prompts for iterative
refinement. Moreover, to enhance stability of the prompt effect evaluation, we
propose a novel prompt bagging method involving forward and backward thinking,
which is superior to majority voting and is beneficial for both feedback and

significant margin. We have made our code publicly available. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.12033 | Chenrui Zhang, Lin Liu, Jinpeng Wang, Chuyuan Wang, Xiao Sun, Hongyu Wang, Mingchen Cai | cs.CL, cs.AI | 8 pages, 4 figures | null | cs.CL | 20230823 | 20230823 | [

# c4 | 2308.12284#27 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured
into training large language models (LLMs), usually by doing one-pass learning
on as many tokens as possible randomly selected from large-scale web corpora.
While training on ever-larger portions of the internet leads to consistent
performance improvements, the size of these improvements diminishes with scale,
and there has been little work exploring the effect of data selection on
pre-training and downstream performance beyond simple de-duplication methods
such as MinHash. Here, we show that careful data selection (on top of

intelligently consistently outperforms baseline training (while repeating
random data performs worse than baseline training). Our results indicate that
clever data selection can significantly improve LLM pre-training, calls into
question the common practice of training for a single epoch on as much data as

# Experimental Results
In view of the key proposals in our PREFER approach, we are naturally motivated to ask the following interesting research questions.
⢠RQ1. Is the prompt ensemble learning really useful for improving LLMsâ performance?
⢠RQ2. Are the feedback-driven boosting and bilateral bagging mechanism both useful for prompt synthesis in ensemble learning?
⢠RQ3. Is the reason why our proposal is superior to the iterative approaches due to the expansion of the sample space?
To explore the second research question, we compare our PREFER with both the two-stage ensemble approach PromptBoosting (Line 4) and the synonym rewriting ensem- ble approach (Line 3). For PromptBoosting, we use the pub- licly available code of (Hou et al. 2023) and conduct ex- periments following its hyperparameter setting. For the syn- onym rewriting ensemble, we conduct prompt rewriting op- eration with same semantics, followed by regular ensemble learning similar to our PREFER. As demonstrated in Table 1, our approach consistently outperforms the two ensemble ap- proaches by a significant margin, reaching around 5% to 35% relative improvement in most datasets. We attribute the superiority of PREFER to its feedback-reflect-refine mecha- nism as well as the design of the joint optimization paradigm that naturally captures relations among weak learners. | 2308.12033#30 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

2308.12284 | 30 | While we observe consistent average perplexity improvements, Section A.3 demonstrates that this perplexity improvement varies greatly across validation sets. More importantly, data selection always impairs performance on web snapshot validation sets such as CC-dedup, CommonCrawl, and C4. To investigate why this occurs, we embed each validation set into the same embedding space as the training set and search for the nearest neighbors to validation points in the training set for our 1.3B baseline model. In the left plot of Figure 5, we show that validation sets drawn from the same distribution as web-snapshots are closer to training set compared to other validation sets, while the right plot of Figure 5 shows that data selection disproportionately affects these web-snapshot validation sets: on the top-right plot, we see that web validation sets reside in regions of the embedding space which are sparsified as a result of data selection (e.g. regions of space close to cluster centroids in the training set), and in the bottom-right plot we see that these points are also the most affected by data selection, since their perplexity after data selection significantly increases. Moreover, the middle- right plot shows that these validation points have the lowest perplexity before pruning indicating that these points are "easy" points, perhaps due to their proximity to the training set. | 2308.12284#30 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

2308.12033 | 31 | To figure out the answers to these questions, we conduct sufficient experiments and the experimental results can be found in Table 1. For the first question, we compare the ensemble-based approaches (including PromptBoosting and our PREFER) with the single-prompt-based approaches. As shown in the experimental results, when compared to the vanilla (Line 1) and CoT-enhanced single prompt approach (Line 2), both PromptBoosting and our PREFER outperform them by a significant margin. For example, our PREFER out- performs the second best approach by up to 6.3% for the QNLI dataset, and 13.1% for the Liar dataset. The general trend that becomes apparent from the results in Table 1 is that the more difficult the task is, the better ensemble learn- ing performs. We conjecture that it is due to the feedback- reflect-refine paradigm can achieve greater improvement for the harder tasks, while the marginal gain of this mechanism would be diminishing for easier tasks. It is noted that the experimental results change marginally by adding Chain-of- Thought (CoT) for single-prompt approach. | 2308.12033#31 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

2308.12284 | 31 | Given that some of our validation sets are extremely close to the training set, we question whether they are still strong indicators of generalization. In fact, in Figure 6, we find evidence of a slight inverse relationship between perplexity on web snapshots and more robust indicators of LM ability, such as perplexity on instruction-tuned datasets and downstream accuracy. In contrast, we observe that perplexity on Instruct+Answers is positively correlated with downstream accuracy, suggesting that validation perplexity on instruction tuned data is a better measure of model quality. For this reason, we group most of our results in Section 4 into Web Snapshots and Non-web Snapshots (which consists of Web-Derived + Web-Independent from Figure 5, see Section A.1.4 for a full-list of validation set names).

2308.12033 | 32 | As for the third question, APO (Pryzant et al. 2023) is introduced as the remarkable approach of iterative prompt- ing for comparison. It is noted that we reproduce the APO approach (APO* at Line 6) for a strictly fair comparison, which eliminates the interference from data sampling. Sim- ilar performance trends are observed in this comparison, that is, our PREFER outperforms APO with the power of feedback-reflect-refine boosting and bilateral prompt bag- ging. It manifests that through expanding the sample space in a nonlinear way, prompting performance can be enhanced significantly than single-prompt methods with similar iter- ation rounds. In fact, attributed to our bagging design, our PREFER is superior to APO not only in effectiveness, but also in stability and efficiency.

As mentioned in Section 3.4, we hypothesize that sparsifying dense regions of space containing excessive semantic duplicates improves the clustering quality and is, therefore, critical to the perfor- mance of D4. To isolate the effect of re-clustering on D4, we run experiments with a version of D4 where we remove the re-clustering step (e.g. we keep the original clustering). As shown in Figure 7, omitting the re-clustering step significantly worsens performance, and we observe in the rightmost plot of Figure 7 that SemDeDup indeed removes extremely dense clusters surrounding centroids (e.g. duplicate-driven clusters). We analyze this in more depth in Section A.9. | 2308.12284#33 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured

First, we remove the feedback mech- anism in prompt boosting (ââFeedbackâ), in which the ini- tial seed prompt is just modified by the LLM without di- rected optimization, then the similar boosting and bagging strategy is performed to align the settings of our PREFER. As shown in Table 2, it is observed that the prompt ensemble without feedback-reflect-refine path is sub-optimal, signify- ing that such feedback mechanism plays an important role for directed prompt boosting. Second, to figure out the ef- fectiveness of our bilateral bagging component, we also turn off the whole component (ââBaggingâ) or replace it with majority voting (âVotingâ), as shown in the column 3 and 4 in Table 2, respectively. The experimental results convey that our bilateral bagging is beneficial for PREFER, and dis- tinctly outperform the regular bagging approach of majority voting. Notably, the performance of majority voting is basi- cally satisfactory, manifesting that the prompt bagging can benefit the boosting prompt process consistently.

An inter- esting phenomenon is that removing the feedback-reflect- refine module leads to more serious performance decline than removing the bagging module. This is expected, since the bagging mainly benefits the stability for each prompt, while the boosting is more important for prompt ensemble. | 2308.12033#35 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

2308.12284 | 35 | # 5 Summary and Limitations
We introduced D4, a method for data curation on LLMs that improves training efficiency by 20% across multiple model scales, with larger gains at increased model scale. We also demonstrated that, in contrast to common practice, repeating data via epoching can be beneficial for LLM training, but only if the data subset is intelligently selected. While we have shown encouraging efficiency gains and performance improvements via D4, our work has several limitations and many future directions.
Mixing different training distributions: While we chose one data distribution to both select data and train on, modern LLM setups usually mix different data sources. Our method is likely complimentary to such pipelines: practitioners may use D4 to diversify and de-duplicate individual data sources and then mix data sources to provide additional diversity in their training dataset. We leave exploring the efficacy of D4 on a mix of training distributions as future work, but expect that this will yield further gains by reducing redundancy across datasets as well as within datasets.
Model scale: Due to compute limitations, the largest models we evaluated were 6.7B parameters trained on 100B tokens. While, to our knowledge, this is the largest to date application of embedding based data curation approaches, further investigation at model scales exceeding 100B would be very interesting, particularly in light of our observation that the efficiency gain grows with model scale.

2308.12033 | 36 | # Training Efficiency
To further demonstrate the superiority of our method, we conduct detailed experiments on the Ethos dataset for train- including training time and convergence ing efficiency, speed. As shown in Figure 3, both APO and our PREFER reach the peak at optimization step 2 to 3, which indi- cates that neither approaches require extensive iterations to achieve impressive results. Clearly, our PREFER has a more stable performance retention compared to APO during sub- sequent iterations. On the other hand, considering the lim- itations on the speed and frequency of LLM API accesses, we compare the number of API accesses during training and the time consumption for the first two prompt optimization steps, which is displayed in Table 3. It can be observed that the access number of APO increases rapidly during beam search and bandit selection, which brings serious efficiency problems. On the contrary, our PREFER does not enforce op- timal optimization at each time step, but rather maintains a stable and efficient improvement via ensemble learning.

# Case Study
To visualize our feedback-reflect-refine paradigm, we pro- vided a case study as an illustration. As shown in Figure 4, taking the nature language inference task on the QNLI dataset as an example, we provide the intermediate output of the LLM in the feedback-reflect-refine process, to show its effectiveness and interpretability. Compared to the prompt generated by synonymous rewriting (gray box), the one gen- erated by our method is more informative and logically com- pensates for the deficiencies of the previous prompt, thus achieving directed prompt optimization.

2308.12033 | 38 | # Conclusion
In this paper, we propose a simple, automatic, and uni- versal prompt ensemble approach called PREFER (PRompt Ensemble learning via Feedback-REflect-Refine), empiri- cally showing consistent and significant improvement over previous baselines. PREFER contains two main components, including feedback-reflect-refine prompt boosting and bilat- eral prompt bagging. Prompt boosting branch directly and collectively optimizes prompt in an automatic fashion based on the evolving self-reflection. Prompt bagging proposes a bagging paradigm containing forward and backward coop- eration inspired by human behavior, which adequately un- earths the real quality of each generated prompt and thus en- sures the stability of both the feedback-reflect-refine process and weight calculation in boosting. In a parallel note, our PREFER brings the prompt ensemble approach with more interpretability by harnessing the LLMsâ language ability. For future work, two interesting questions worth studying, namely 1) how to further reduce the calculation of prompt ensemble to approach single-prompt colleagues, and 2) how to make more classical algorithm more intelligent based on the power of LLMs. | 2308.12033#38 | PREFER: Prompt Ensemble Learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine | As an effective tool for eliciting the power of Large Language Models (LLMs),

unable to perform directed optimization for different weak learners. In this
paper, we propose a simple, universal, and automatic method named PREFER (Pompt
Ensemble learning via Feedback-Reflect-Refine) to address the stated
limitations. Specifically, given the fact that weak learners are supposed to
focus on hard examples during boosting, PREFER builds a feedback mechanism for
reflecting on the inadequacies of existing weak learners. Based on this, the
LLM is required to automatically synthesize new prompts for iterative
refinement. Moreover, to enhance stability of the prompt effect evaluation, we
propose a novel prompt bagging method involving forward and backward thinking,
which is superior to majority voting and is beneficial for both feedback and
weight calculation in boosting. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our
PREFER achieves state-of-the-art performance in multiple types of tasks by a
significant margin. We have made our code publicly available. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.12033 | Chenrui Zhang, Lin Liu, Jinpeng Wang, Chuyuan Wang, Xiao Sun, Hongyu Wang, Mingchen Cai | cs.CL, cs.AI | 8 pages, 4 figures | null | cs.CL | 20230823 | 20230823 | [

IEEE, 1997. | 2308.12284#38 | D4: Improving LLM Pretraining via Document De-Duplication and Diversification | Over recent years, an increasing amount of compute and data has been poured
into training large language models (LLMs), usually by doing one-pass learning
on as many tokens as possible randomly selected from large-scale web corpora.
While training on ever-larger portions of the internet leads to consistent
performance improvements, the size of these improvements diminishes with scale,
and there has been little work exploring the effect of data selection on
pre-training and downstream performance beyond simple de-duplication methods
such as MinHash. Here, we show that careful data selection (on top of
de-duplicated data) via pre-trained model embeddings can speed up training (20%
efficiency gains) and improves average downstream accuracy on 16 NLP tasks (up
to 2%) at the 6.7B model scale. Furthermore, we show that repeating data
intelligently consistently outperforms baseline training (while repeating
random data performs worse than baseline training). Our results indicate that
clever data selection can significantly improve LLM pre-training, calls into
question the common practice of training for a single epoch on as much data as
possible, and demonstrates a path to keep improving our models past the limits
of randomly sampling web data. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.12284 | Kushal Tirumala, Daniel Simig, Armen Aghajanyan, Ari S. Morcos | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20230823 | 20230823 | [

efficiency gains) and improves average downstream accuracy on 16 NLP tasks (up
to 2%) at the 6.7B model scale. Furthermore, we show that repeating data
intelligently consistently outperforms baseline training (while repeating
random data performs worse than baseline training). Our results indicate that
clever data selection can significantly improve LLM pre-training, calls into
question the common practice of training for a single epoch on as much data as
possible, and demonstrates a path to keep improving our models past the limits
of randomly sampling web data. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.12284 | Kushal Tirumala, Daniel Simig, Armen Aghajanyan, Ari S. Morcos | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20230823 | 20230823 | [
