Improving Influence-based Instruction Tuning Data Selection for Balanced Learning of Diverse Capabilities (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Influence-based methods show promise in achieving (1), but often struggle with (2) . data selection is often biased towards high-influence tasks, harming performance on them . |
| Approach: | They propose a Balanced and Influential Data Selection algorithm that normalizes influence scores of training data and iteratively chooses the training example with the highest influence on the most underrepresented task. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms both state-of-the-art influence-based methods and non-influence-based frameworks on seven benchmarks spanning five diverse capabilities. |
