A framework for adapting large language models to specialized domains using only synthetically generated data is introduced, achieving performance comparable to or exceeding methods reliant on human-annotated data across various tasks.

Key insights

  • High-quality synthetic data, when generated and curated appropriately, can match or surpass the performance of human-annotated data for LLM domain adaptation.
  • A difficulty-adaptive curriculum learning approach effectively optimizes the training data distribution based on the base model's current performance, enhancing learning efficiency.
  • The reinforcement learning component provides performance advantages over simple supervised fine-tuning on the same synthetic data.
