Evolution without Large Models: Training Language Model with Task Principles
A common training approach for language models involves using a large-scale language model to expand a human-provided dataset, which is subsequently used for model training.This method significantly reduces training costs by eliminating the need for extensive human data annotation. However, it still faces challenges such as high carbon emissions during data augmentation and the risk of data leakage when we use closed-source LLMs. To address these issues, we propose a self-evolution method for language models. First, we introduce the Multi-level Principle Generation, which enables a large-scale model to summarize task-completion principles based on a small amount of task data. Then, we propose the Principle-based Instance Generation, in which a smaller-scale language model uses these task principles to generate a large amount of data. This data is then used for model training. Experimental results show that our proposed method significantly improves model performance compared to directly using a smaller-scale language model to generate data. Additionally, since we only use the large-scale language model to generate the task-completion principles, the carbon emissions associated with training the model are greatly reduced.

Darwin Family: MRI-Trust-Weighted Evolutionary Merging for Training-Free Scaling of Language-Model Reasoning
We present Darwin Family, a framework for training-free evolutionary merging of large language models via gradient-free weight-space recombination. We ask whether frontier-level reasoning performance can be improved with…
EvoMerge: Neuroevolution for Large Language Models
Extensive fine-tuning on Large Language Models does not always yield better results. Oftentimes, models tend to get better at imitating one form of data without gaining greater reasoning ability and may even end up losin…
