Fine-tuning

Adapting pre-trained models to specific tasks

What is Fine-tuning?

Fine-tuning is the process of taking a pre-trained model and continuing its training on a new, typically smaller dataset for a specific task. This allows the model to adapt its learned features to the nuances of the new task while retaining general knowledge.

Key Points

1

Continues training from pre-trained weights

2

Adapts to specific domains

3

Often uses lower learning rates

4

More efficient than training from scratch

Practical Examples

Fine-tuning GPT for specific domains
Adapting vision models to medical images
Customizing chatbots
Task-specific BERT variants
