Overview

Introduces Predictive Data Selection (PDS) for language model training
Shows data that predicts future tokens well is better for training
Achieves 6.6x data efficiency compared to standard pretraining
Works across different settings: zero-shot, few-shot, and instruction tuning
Proposes a theoretical connection between compression and intelligence
Demonstrates significant improvements on code and math reasoning tasks

Plain English Explanation

Imagine you're teaching someone a new language. Some teaching materials are much more effective than others. The paper "Predictive Data Selection" reveals a simple but powerful idea: the best d...
