A Gentle Introduction to Language Model Fine-tuning

After pretraining, a language model learns about human languages. You can enhance the model’s domain-specific understanding by training it on additional data. You can also train the model to perform specific tasks when you provide a specific instruction. These additional training after pretraining is called fine-tuning. In this article, you will learn how to fine-tune a language model. Specifically, you will learn:

  • Different examples of fine-tuning and what their goals are
  • How to convert a pretraining script to perform fine-tuning

Let’s get started!

This article is divided into four parts; they are: 

     • The Reason for Fine-tuning a Model

     • Dataset for Fine-tuning

     • Fine-tuning Procedure

     • Other Fine-Tuning Techniques
