Power-law LLM scaling laws are largely the aggregate of stepwise token learning events whose heavy-tailed learning-time spectrum reconstructs loss derivatives along step, data, and model axes.
Under a shared-head/disjoint-tail assumption, multi-domain loss decomposes into a capacity-competition term c_i x_i^*(h)^{-b_i} plus a per-domain noise term A_i(Dh_i)^{-a_i}, and the fitted law extrapolates optimal mixtures to unseen scales.
Repetition rate mismatch between small-scale proxies and target budgets is the main reason data mixture experiments do not scale; a subsampling procedure that equalizes repetition rates recovers optimal mixtures from 1/16-scale experiments.
DRATS derives a minimax objective from a feasibility formulation of MTRL to adaptively sample tasks with the largest return gaps, leading to better worst-task performance on MetaWorld benchmarks.
MixAtlas uses CLIP-based decomposition and Gaussian process optimization on small proxies to discover data mixtures that improve multimodal benchmark performance by up to 17.6% and transfer to larger models with faster convergence.
DRIFT applies on-policy influence functions with signed weighting and debiasing to attribute and refine SFT data, raising performance on 7B instruction and reasoning models over prior curation methods.
DUET is a global-to-local method that optimizes LLM training data mixtures via Bayesian optimization guided by influence-based selection and feedback from unseen evaluation tasks, with a regret bound showing convergence to the optimal mixture.
DCLM-Baseline dataset lets a 7B model reach 64% 5-shot MMLU accuracy after 2.6T tokens, beating prior open-data models by 6.6 points on MMLU with 40% less compute.
HDS uses Soft Actor-Critic RL with a multi-objective reward (data quality, inter-domain loss influence, weight norms) for online data mixing in LLM pre-training, reaching target perplexity with 44% fewer iterations and 7.2% MMLU gain on The Pile.
A survey that taxonomizes data mixing strategies for LLM pretraining into static rule-based, learning-based, and dynamic adaptive families while highlighting transferability challenges and evaluation gaps.
