Real vs. Synthetic Data: Pros and Cons for Model Training

Balancing real vs synthetic data is key for effective AI training. Real data brings authentic patterns, while synthetic data supports scalability and privacy.
Combining both helps teams manage cost, quality, and ethical considerations responsibly.

Ars Technica

Polygon and polyline annotations are key image labeling techniques in AI.

Polygons define closed boundaries for area-based objects and segmentation, while polylines map open paths like lanes or cables. The right choice impacts accuracy, cost, and model performance.

The Common Pile v0.1: An 8TB Dataset of Public Domain and Openly Licensed Text

Large language models (LLMs) are typically trained on enormous quantities of unlicensed text, a practice that has led to scrutiny due to possible intellectual property infringement and ethical concerns. Training LLMs on openly licensed text presents a first step towards addressing these issues, but prior data collection efforts have yielded datasets too small or low-quality to produce performant LLMs. To address this gap, we collect, curate, and release the Common Pile v0.1, an eight terabyte collection of openly licensed text designed for LLM pretraining. The Common Pile comprises content from 30 sources that span diverse domains including research papers, code, books, encyclopedias, educational materials, audio transcripts, and more. Crucially, we validate our efforts by training two 7 billion parameter LLMs on text from the Common Pile: Comma v0.1-1T and Comma v0.1-2T, trained on 1 and 2 trillion tokens respectively. Both models attain competitive performance to LLMs trained on unlicensed text with similar computational budgets, such as Llama 1 and 2 7B. In addition to releasing the Common Pile v0.1 itself, we also release the code used in its creation as well as the training mixture and checkpoints for the Comma v0.1 models.
