What is Fine-Tuning?
Fine-tuning is the process of adapting a pre-trained language model to perform specific tasks or understand domain-specific knowledge. It's like teaching a brilliant student to specialize in a particular field while retaining their general knowledge.

Understanding Fine-Tuning
Fine-tuning in machine learning is the process of adapting a pre-trained model to perform specific tasks or understand domain-specific knowledge. Unlike training a model from scratch, fine-tuning leverages the existing knowledge of a foundation model and refines it for particular use cases.
Key Concept
Think of fine-tuning like teaching a university graduate to specialize in a specific profession. They already have foundational knowledge, but you're helping them excel in a particular domain.
Fine-Tuning vs. Training from Scratch
- Faster training time
- Less data required
- Cost-effective
- Retains general knowledge
- Longer training time
- Massive datasets needed
- Expensive compute costs
- Full control over architecture
