The authors built two training corpora of 70B words each, with matched domain mixtures (80% web-crawled… 2. **[KletterMix: Climbing Toward High-Quality German Pretraining Data - The Full Report](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kraus-2026-klettermix-climbing-toward-high-quality/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Open German pretraining data still trails English. Native German collections are usually smaller, noisier, less documented, and seldom tested by actually training models on them. The authors take a different route: instead of crawling more German web text, they machine-translate a strong English mixture, ClimbMix… ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Mehdi Ali](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mehdi-ali/) ×2 - [Abbas Goher Khan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abbas-goher-khan/) - [Jan Ebert](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jan-ebert/) - [Johannes Leveling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/johannes-leveling/) - [Klaudia Thellmann](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/klaudia-thellmann/) - [Kristian Kersting](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kristian-kersting/) - [Maurice Kraus](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/maurice-kraus/) - [Nicolas Flores-Herr](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nicolas-flores-herr/) - [Richard Rutmann](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/richard-rutmann/) - [Ruben Harle](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruben-harle/) - [Sebastian Sztwiertnia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sebastian-sztwiertnia/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2024/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 76 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [28 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-fromm/cited-by/).
