Earlier watermark evaluations, however, mostly assumed the detector receives unmodified model output. This paper tests whether the green-list watermark of Kirchenbauer et al. (2023) survives realistic handling… 2. **[Nemotron-CC: Transforming Common Crawl into a Refined Long-Horizon Pretraining Dataset](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/su-2025-nemotron-cc-transforming-common-crawl/)** *(2025 · 65 citations)* Leading English web corpora built from Common Crawl, such as FineWeb-Edu and DCLM, raise benchmark scores by discarding roughly nine tenths of the crawl with model-based filters. 3. **[Maximize Your Data's Potential: Enhancing LLM Accuracy with Two-Phase Pretraining](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/feng-2024-maximize-data-s-potential-enhancing/)** *(2024 · 12 citations)* Organizations that build large language models rarely disclose how they mix and order pretraining data, so there is little public guidance on how a data blend should be designed and whether it holds up at larger scale. ## Co-authors here 12 of 15 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Bryan Catanzaro](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bryan-catanzaro/) ×2 - [Dan Su](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dan-su/) ×2 - [Mohammad Shoeybi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mohammad-shoeybi/) ×2 - [Mostofa Patwary](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mostofa-patwary/) ×2 - [Aniruddha Saha](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aniruddha-saha/) - [Brandon Norick](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/brandon-norick/) - [John Kirchenbauer](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/john-kirchenbauer/) - [Jonas Geiping](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jonas-geiping/) - [Joseph Jennings](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/joseph-jennings/) - [Micah Goldblum](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/micah-goldblum/) - [Shrimai Prabhumoye](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shrimai-prabhumoye/) - [Steven Y.
