Introducing 📐𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡: the best public math pre-training dataset with 50B+ tokens!
HuggingFaceTB/finemath

Math remains challenging for LLMs and by training on FineMath we see considerable gains over other math datasets, especially on GSM8K and MATH.

We build the dataset by:
🛠️ carefully extracting math data from Common Crawl;
🔎 iteratively filtering and recalling high quality math pages using a classifier trained on synthetic annotations to identify math reasoning and deduction.

We conducted a series of ablations comparing the performance of Llama-3.2-3B-Base after continued pre-training on FineMath and observe notable gains compared to the baseline model and other public math datasets.

We hope this helps advance the performance of LLMs on math and reasoning! 🚀
We’re also releasing all the ablation models as well as the evaluation code.

People are flexing their end of year stats, so I made this app to show hub stats in a tidy design!

Thanks @Ameeeee and @jfcalvo for the feature from Argilla!

Introducing the Synthetic Data Generator, a user-friendly application that takes a no-code approach to creating custom datasets with Large Language Models (LLMs). The best part: A simple step-by-step process, making dataset creation a non-technical breeze, allowing anyone to create datasets and models in minutes and without any code.

How do your annotations for FineWeb2 compare to your teammates'?

I started contributing some annotations to the FineWeb2 collaborative annotation sprint and I wanted to know if my labelling trends were similar to those of my teammates.

I did some analysis and I wasn't surprised to see that I'm being a bit harsher on my evaluations than my mates 😂

Open Preference Dataset for Text-to-Image Generation by the 🤗 Community

Open Image Preferences is an Apache 2.0 licensed dataset for text-to-image generation. This dataset contains 10K text-to-image preference pairs across common image generation categories, while using different model families and varying prompt complexities.

🌐 Announcing Global-MMLU: an improved MMLU Open dataset with evaluation coverage across 42 languages, built with Argilla and the Hugging Face community.

Global-MMLU is the result of months of work with the goal of advancing Multilingual LLM evaluation. It's been an amazing open science effort with collaborators from Cohere For AI, Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, EPFL, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, AI Singapore, National University of Singapore, KAIST, Instituto Superior Técnico, Carnegie Mellon University, CONICET, and University of Buenos Aires.

🏷️ +200 contributors used Argilla MMLU questions where regional, dialect, or cultural knowledge was required to answer correctly. 85% of the questions required Western-centric knowledge!

Thanks to this annotation process, the open dataset contains two subsets:

1. 🗽 Culturally Agnostic: no specific regional, cultural knowledge is required.
2. ⚖️ Culturally Sensitive: requires dialect, cultural knowledge or geographic knowledge to answer correctly.

Moreover, we provide high quality translations of 25 out of 42 languages, thanks again to the community and professional annotators leveraging Argilla on the Hub.

I hope this will ensure a better understanding of the limitations and challenges for making open AI useful for many languages.

Dataset: CohereForAI/Global-MMLU

This is amazing for cheap models fine-tunes without the hassle of actual deployment! TIL: LoRA fine-tunes for models on the Hub can directly be used for inference!

The Data Is Better Together community is set to release the first Apache 2 licensed image preference dataset!

Great work and let's give this a final push :)

@aashish1904 congrats on your month of HF pro. There is more to win during this sprint!

For anyone looking to boost their LLM fine-tuning and alignment skills this decemeber. We're running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not big like Li Yin and @mlabonne , it’s just smol.

👷 It focuses on practical use cases, so if you’re working on something, bring it along.

👯‍♀️ It’s peer reviewed and open so you can discuss and get feedback.

🤘 If you’re already a smol pro, feel free to drop a star or issue.

[SATURDAY ROUNDUP] ☕️🧑‍🎓

In case you missed everything this week. It’s all about vision language models and image preference datasets. Here are the models and datasets you can use in your projects.

QWQ-32B-Preview is the first open weights model to reason like o1 with comparable performance. It’s large but is acing some of the hardest tasks.

SmolVLM is a vision implementation of the recently released SmolLM2. It uses the Idefics3 approach to add a vision encoder. The main difference being the smaller language model (8b > 1.7b) and more compression of images. This results in a model that is very accurate for its memory footprint.

https://huggingface.co/blog/smolvlm

ColSmolVLM is a vision embedding model based on SmolVLM using the Colbert approach from ColPali. This is shown to be great at document retrieval and everyone should test it out in their RAG setups.
