arXiv:2605.30857v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instruction fine-tuning is employed to enhance the instruction-following ability of large language models (LLMs). As the amount of instruction fine-tuning data increases, selecting the optimal core set becomes particularly important. However, ensuring the diversity of the core set remains a significant challenge. Existing methods predominantly distinguish different training data based on the text features themselves, decoupled from LLMs' own understanding and representation of the data. To address this issue, we propose a Model-Aware Diverse Core
The proliferation of increasingly complex LLMs and the growing datasets for instruction fine-tuning make efficient and effective data selection critical for managing computational resources and model performance.
Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of instruction tuning directly impacts the development of more capable and resource-efficient AI models, specifically LLMs, which are foundational for many AI applications.
The proposed 'Model-Aware Diverse Core Set Selection' method suggests a more sophisticated approach to training data curation, moving beyond simple text features to incorporate LLM understanding, potentially leading to better model capabilities with less data.
