Dataset Thinning for faster fine-tuning of LLMs

What's this blog post about?

Dataset Thinning for faster fine-tuning of LLMs involves reducing redundancy in large datasets to improve model performance and speed up training. By using clustering algorithms like DBSCAN, one can identify redundant data points and noise in the dataset. Reducing redundancies by thinning out non-noise clusters can lead to better validation loss and improved fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs). This technique can be applied to various datasets and embeddings for further experimentation and optimization.
