Large Scale Pre Training

Large-scale pre-training leverages massive datasets to train powerful foundation models that can be fine-tuned for diverse downstream tasks, improving efficiency and performance compared to training from scratch. Current research focuses on developing effective pre-training strategies for various modalities (images, text, medical data, etc.), employing architectures like Transformers and incorporating techniques such as masked autoencoding and knowledge distillation. This approach is significantly impacting fields like medical image analysis, natural language processing, and computer vision by enabling the development of more accurate and robust models with reduced data requirements and training time.
