Fine Tuning
Fine-tuning adapts pre-trained large language models (LLMs) to specific tasks, improving performance and efficiency compared to training from scratch. Current research emphasizes efficient fine-tuning methods like low-rank adaptation (LoRA) and techniques addressing challenges such as catastrophic forgetting and calibration issues, often employing bilevel optimization or adaptive noise allocation for improved performance and privacy. This work is significant because it enables the deployment of powerful LLMs across diverse applications, from medical diagnosis to visual editing, while mitigating resource constraints and privacy concerns.
