Rho-1: Not All Tokens Are What You Need

[📜 Arxiv] • [💬 HF Paper] • [🤗 Models] • [🐱 GitHub]

Figure 1: Rho-1 is pre-trained with Selective Language Modeling (SLM). SLM improves average few-shot accuracy on GSM8k and MATH by over 16%, achieving the baseline performance 5-10x faster.

🔥 News

• [2024/04/12] 🔥🔥🔥 Rho-Math-v0.1 models released at 🤗 HuggingFace!
  • Rho-Math-1B and Rho-Math-7B achieve 15.6% and 31.0% few-shot accuracy on MATH dataset, respectively — matching DeepSeekMath with only 3% of the pretraining tokens.
  • Rho-Math-1B-Interpreter is the first 1B LLM that achieves over 40% accuracy on MATH.
  • Rho-Math-7B-Interpreter achieves 52% on MATH dataset, using only 69k samples for fine-tuning.
• [2024/04/11] Rho-1 paper and repo released.

💡 Introduction

Rho-1 base models employ Selective Language Modeling (SLM) for pretraining, which selectively trains on clean and useful tokens that aligned with the desired distribution.

Selective Lanugage Modeling (SLM)

Figure 2: Upper: Even an extensively filtered pretraining corpus contains token-level noise. Left: Previous Causal Language Modeling (CLM) trains on all tokens. Right: Our proposed Selective Language Modeling (SLM) selectively applies loss on those useful and clean tokens.

Figure 3: The pipeline of Selective Language Modeling. SLM optimizes language model performance by concentrating on valuable, clean tokens during pre-training. It involves three steps: (Step 1) Initially, train a reference model on high-quality data. (Step 2) Then, score each token's loss in a corpus using the reference model. (Step 3) Finally, train the language model selectively on tokens that show higher excess loss compared to the reference loss.
