Data-Efficient Language Modeling: From Frontier Advancement to Principle-Guided Model Improvement

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.10702v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning from limited text requires models to use context, generalize to new inputs, and retain useful capabilities. Qiushi Engine conducted a long-horizon, end-to-end autonomous research program on BabyLM 2026 Strict-Small, within 10 million corpus words and 100 million cumulative word presentations. Three stages connected frontier advancement, principle discovery, and principle-guided model improvement. Stage I combined compact restatements, budget reinvestment, and residual incremental learning to build a frontier model. Stage II found that exact repetition and aligned restatement produce different patterns of context use, depending on target relations and prediction windows. In controlled tasks, recovering familiar performance did not e
