1. MetaMath: Bootstrap Your Own Mathematical Questions for Large Language Models (2023 · 565 citations)
   Open-source LLMs such as LLaMA-2 lag well behind closed models on multi-step maths word problems. Fine-tuning helps, but it depends on having enough varied training questions. MetaMath addresses this by growing the GSM8K and MATH training sets from the question side as well as the answer side, producing a dataset…
2. Sculpting the Vector Space: Towards Efficient Multi-Vector Visual Document Retrieval via Prune-then-Merge Framework (2026 · 2 citations)
   Multi-vector models for Visual Document Retrieval (VDR), such as those in the ColPali family, represent each page as hundreds or thousands of patch embeddings.
