Instruction Dataset

Instruction datasets are collections of (instruction, output) pairs used to fine-tune large language models (LLMs), improving their ability to follow diverse instructions and generalize to new tasks. Current research focuses on efficiently creating high-quality datasets, including methods for programmatic generation, data selection based on diversity and quality metrics (e.g., using k-means clustering and gradient analysis), and translation from existing English datasets to other languages. These advancements are significant because they reduce the reliance on expensive human annotation, enabling the development of more capable and adaptable LLMs across various domains and languages, ultimately impacting the broader field of natural language processing and its applications.
