4.5 Effect of Data Size and Quality

  1. How did the amount and quality of Self-Instruct data affect results?
    Human-rated quality improved with more data but nearly plateaued after about 16K instructions (on SuperNI already after hundreds). Regenerating the outputs with InstructGPT-003 improved the fine-tuned model by 10%, showing much room for better-quality data.
