Research demonstrates that mixing high-resource auxiliary language data outperforms aggressive hyperparameter tuning for low-resource language pre-training. Across model scales from 150M to 1.43B parameters using Arabic and English, data mixing yields larger gains in validation loss and downstream accuracy, with the advantage growing as model size increases.

    • In low-resource scenarios with high data repetition, distribution expansion via data mixing outperforms regularization techniques like weight decay.
    • The performance advantage of data mixing over hyperparameter tuning widens significantly as model scale increases from 150M to 1.43B parameters.
    • Practical recommendations include prioritizing mixing ratio adjustments and transferring hyperparameters from small proxy models via μP.
