4.2 Intrinsic language modeling evaluation

  1. What did Paloma show about sample efficiency across text sources?
    Models fit best the kinds of text they were trained on: OLMo-7B was best on C4 (close to its Common-Crawl-heavy data) but less efficient on Wikipedia and scientific papers, which are scarcer than web text; keeping fit to such curated sources will be hard as corpora scale.
