Fine-Tuning

The process of adapting a pre-trained model to a specific task by training it on task-specific data.

In more detail

Fine-tuning starts with a model pre-trained on large general data, then continues training on smaller task-specific datasets. This approach combines general knowledge with specialized expertise and requires less data and compute than training from scratch. Common in NLP for domain-specific applications.

Examples

  • Adapting GPT for legal documents
  • Custom sentiment analysis
  • Domain-specific code generation
  • Medical document classification
