Fine-Tuning

Adapting a pre-trained model to a new task by training on task-specific data.

In-depth explanation

Fine-tuning takes a model pre-trained on a large dataset and continues training on a smaller, task-specific dataset. This can involve updating all weights or only certain layers. Learning rate is usually lower than initial training to avoid destroying pre-trained knowledge. Fine-tuning is a key technique in modern NLP and computer vision.

Examples

Fine-tuning GPT for chatbots
Fine-tuning BERT for classification
