PaLM 2 Technical Report Review

Problem
can handle more disparate non-English datasets without causing a drop in English language understanding performance

Solution

• Training a Transformer-based model using a mixture of objectives similar to UL2.
• The data mixture is a critical component of the final model.
• applying deduplication to reduce memorization.

Performance :
