Challenge: Large language models excel in general tasks but struggle with domain-specific ones, requiring fine-tuning with specific data.
Approach: They propose a Data and Model Compression Framework that categorizes data filtering methodologies into three distinct paradigms: (1) distribution-aware methods, (2) quality-a aware methods, and (3) hybrid approaches considering both dimensions.
Outcome: The proposed framework can select the optimal LLM while saving approximately 20-fold in training time.
