INTRODUCTION

1.1 Defining Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) represent a significant breakthrough in natural language
processing (NLP) technology, capable of understanding, generating, and manipulating
human language at an unprecedented scale. These models, often based on deep learning
architectures like transformers, are trained on vast amounts of text data, enabling them to
exhibit human-like language understanding and generation capabilities. As the name
suggests, LLMs are characterized by their size, with millions or even billions of parameters,
allowing them to capture intricate patterns and nuances of language.

The development of Large Language Models marks a milestone in the evolution of NLP,
building upon decades of research and innovation in the field. Early NLP systems relied on
rule-based approaches and shallow linguistic models, which had limited effectiveness in
capturing the complexity of human language. However, with the advent of deep learning and
the availability of massive datasets, LLMs have emerged as the state-of-the-art approach to
various NLP tasks, including language translation, text summarization, sentiment analysis,
and more. This evolution has been driven by advances in machine learning algorithms,
computational power, and the availability of large-scale annotated datasets.

The rise of Large Language Models has led to a proliferation of applications across diverse
domains, revolutionizing how we interact with technology and process vast amounts of
textual data. From virtual assistants and chatbots to content generation and language
understanding tasks, LLMs have demonstrated remarkable versatility and utility. However,
their widespread adoption also raises important ethical, societal, and technical considerations,
including issues related to bias, privacy, and the environmental impact of training such large
models. Understanding the capabilities, limitations, and implications of LLMs is crucial for
harnessing their potential while mitigating associated risks.

Language is essentially a complex, intricate system of human expressions governed by

grammatical rules. It poses a significant challenge to develop capable AI algorithms for
comprehending and grasping a language. As a major approach, language modeling has been
widely studied for language understanding and generation in the past two decades, evolving
from statistical language models to neural language models. Recently, pre-trained language
models (PLMs) have been proposed by pre-training Transformer models over large-scale
corpora, showing strong capabilities in solving various NLP tasks.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have drawn a lot of attention due to their strong performance
on a wide range of natural language tasks, since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022.
LLMs' ability of general-purpose language understanding and generation is acquired by training
billions of model's parameters on massive amounts of text data, as predicted by scaling laws
\cite {kaplan2020scaling, hoffmann2022training}. The research area of LLMs, while very
recent, is evolving rapidly in many different ways.

This paper embarks on an exploration into the Large Language Model (LLM) datasets, which
play a crucial role in the remarkable advancements of LLMs. The datasets serve as the
foundational infrastructure analogous to a root system that sustains and nurtures the
development of LLMs. Consequently, examination of these datasets emerges as a critical
topic in research. In order to address the current lack of a comprehensive overview and
thorough analysis of LLM datasets, and to gain insights into their current status and future
trends, this survey consolidates and categorizes the fundamental aspects of LLM datasets
from five perspectives.

Large language models (LLMs) are not amenable to frequent re-training, due to high training
costs arising from their massive scale. However, updates are necessary to endow LLMs with
new skills and keep them up-to-date with rapidly evolving human knowledge. This paper
surveys recent works on continual learning for LLMs. Due to the unique nature of LLMs, we
catalog continue learning techniques in a novel multi-staged categorization scheme,
involving continual pretraining, instruction tuning, and alignment. We contrast continual
learning for LLMs with simpler adaptation methods used in smaller models, as well as with
other enhancement strategies like retrieval-augmented generation and model editing.
Moreover, informed by a discussion of benchmarks and evaluation, we identify several
challenges and future work directions for this crucial task.
