What is SciLitLLM1.5-14B?
SciLitLLM1.5-14B is a specialized large language model designed specifically for scientific literature understanding. Built upon the Qwen2.5-14B architecture, it implements a hybrid approach combining continual pre-training (CPT) and supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to enhance its capabilities in processing scientific content.
Implementation Details
The model employs a sophisticated pipeline that addresses two primary challenges in scientific text processing: high-quality CPT corpora construction and diverse SFT instruction generation. The implementation includes advanced PDF text extraction, content error correction, quality filtering, and synthetic instruction creation mechanisms.
- Hybrid training strategy combining CPT and SFT
