Agentic Continual Pre-training (CPT) Technique

An Agentic Continual Pre-training (CPT) Technique is a pretraining technique that generates synthetic question-answer pairs from knowledge graphs to instill agent-based reasoning capabilities in language models.

• AKA: CPT Technique, Agentic CPT, Continual Agent Pretraining, Knowledge-Graph-Based Pretraining.
• Context:
  • It can typically generate CPT Synthetic Datasets from knowledge graphs using automated extraction.
  • It can typically create CPT Question-Answer Pairs through graph traversal algorithms and relation mapping.
  • It can typically enhance CPT Agent Capabilitys via reasoning pattern learning and action sequence training.
  • It can typically support CPT Incremental Learning without catastrophic forgetting of base model knowledge.
  • It can often improve Multi-Step Reasoning Performance on agent benchmarks.
  • It can often complement Supervised Fine-Tuning in training pipelines.
  • It can often scale to Large Knowledge Bases with efficient sampling.
  • It can range from being a Simple CPT Technique to being a Complex CPT Technique, depending on its graph complexity.
  • It can range from being a Single-Domain CPT Technique to being a Multi-Domain CPT Technique, depending on its knowledge coverage.
  • It can range from being a Static CPT Technique to being a Dynamic CPT Technique, depending on its update frequency.
  • It can range from being a Small-Scale CPT Technique to being a Large-Scale CPT Technique, depending on its dataset size.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • CPT Implementations, such as:
    • AgentFounder-30B CPT, generating agentic training data.
    • Knowledge Graph CPT, extracting factual qa pairs.
    • Reasoning Chain CPT, creating multi-hop questions.
  • CPT Data Generation Methods, such as:
    • First-Order Synthesis, producing direct relation querys.
    • High-Order Synthesis, generating complex reasoning chains.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Random Token Masking, which lacks structured knowledge.
  • Human-Annotated Pretraining, which requires manual labeling.
  • Unsupervised Pretraining, which lacks explicit reasoning.
