Transfer Learning in NLP

Adapting pre-trained language models to specific NLP tasks by fine-tuning.

In more detail

Pre-trained models (BERT, GPT, T5) learned general language knowledge. Fine-tuning on task data adapts them efficiently. Enables good performance with limited data. Fundamental approach in modern NLP.

Examples

  • BERT for text classification
  • GPT-2 fine-tuning for domain text
  • T5 for summarization
  • Domain-specific language model adaptation
