5 Why is Less More? Ablations on Data Diversity, Quality, and Quantity

  1. What did the ablations on diversity, quality and quantity show?
    With LLaMA 7B and 2,000 examples: diverse Stack Exchange prompts beat homogeneous wikiHow “how to” prompts; quality-filtered answers beat unfiltered ones by about 0.5 on a 6-point scale; but increasing the amount of data up to 16× gave no gain.
