    πŸ€” Q: How do you find low-quality data? πŸ’‘ A: Corrupt the good ones and watch where they go! Sharing this simple yet generalizable data pruning idea I worked on this summer at the ENLSP workshop #NeurIPS2023 as an *Oral* presentation! arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2312.02418 (🧡1/)

    We released *DuoGuard*, a 0.5B multilingual guardrail model! Its two-player RL framework adversarially co-evolves a generator and classifier to generate safety data. DuoGuard offers fine-grained probabilities across 12 subcategories with customizable thresholds. Check it out! πŸ₯³

    Our finding shows longer code files are often lower quality, and pruning these files can significantly enhance performance. Excited to have contributed to this project led by @Aaditya6284, extending my internship work @AIatMeta! 🌟 Check out our paper πŸ‘‰ arxiv.org/abs/2407.00434

    Long (code) files may not be as high quality as you think… Excited for our new work, "Brevity is the soul of wit: Pruning long files for code generation". We find that long code files are often low quality and show benefits from pruning such files for code gen. Read on πŸ”Žβ¬
