Fine-tuning is the process of taking a pre-trained language model and adapting it to perform a specific task or improve its performance on a particular dataset. This involves training the model on a smaller, task-specific dataset while adjusting the model's weights slightly. Fine-tuning leverages the knowledge the model has already acquired during its initial training on a large, diverse dataset, allowing it to specialize without starting from scratch. This approach is often more efficient and effective than training a new model from scratch, especially for specialized tasks.
