Dataset Engineering for LLMs

The end-to-end discipline of building training data for LLMs: understanding what makes data high-quality, how to acquire and annotate it, how to augment it when real examples are scarce, and how to process raw data into clean, deduped, formatted training sets.

🎓 Learning objectives

  • Evaluate a dataset across the four quality axes: accuracy, consistency, completeness, and timeliness
  • Design a data acquisition strategy that balances cost, quality, and coverage
  • Apply data augmentation and synthetic generation techniques to expand small datasets
  • Run a deduplication pipeline to remove exact and near-duplicate examples from a training corpus
  • Format a raw dataset into instruction-tuning pairs suitable for supervised fine-tuning
