Active Inheritance: Enhancing Large Language Models with Synthetic Data Generation

This engaging news story discusses the growing importance of synthetic data generation in machine learning and the challenges and opportunities it presents. Researchers from Cohere for AI and Cohere have introduced a novel concept called “active inheritance” to steer synthetic data generation towards specific objectives, resulting in significant improvements in model performance. The study highlights the impact of synthetic data on large language models and the potential for actively shaping model behavior through targeted sampling. The research underscores the importance of carefully curating synthetic data to avoid unintended biases and attributes in models. Overall, active inheritance offers a promising approach to optimizing machine learning models and enhancing their effectiveness and safety.
