    A BEGINNER’S

    GUIDE TO
    FINE-TUNING
    LLMS

    WHAT IS FINE-TUNING

    Fine-tuning a large language model (LLM) means taking a pre-trained


    model and adjusting it using specific, smaller datasets to improve its
    performance for a particular task. This helps the model become more
    specialized while retaining its original knowledge.

    Computationally Demanding Computationally Inexpensive

    DIFFERENT TYPES OF
    FINE-TUNING TECHNIQUES

    Task-Specific Fine-Tuning: Adapting the model to perform a particular task,


    such as summarization using a dataset tailored for that task.
    Domain-Specific Fine-Tuning: Training the model on data from a specific
    domain like to improve its performance in those areas.
    Few-Shot Fine-Tuning: Fine-tuning with a small amount of task-specific data
    to help the model perform well even when data availability is limited.
    Supervised Fine-Tuning: Using labeled datasets to guide the model in
    generating more accurate outputs for specific tasks, making it more reliable
    and consistent.
    Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA): Adding smaller, trainable parameters while
    keeping the main model frozen, making fine-tuning more efficient.

    A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO
    FINE-TUNING A LLM
    Choose a pre-trained model and a dataset

    Credits: DataCamp

    Step 1: Install necessary packages

    Bhavishya Pandit
    Step 2: Load the data to use

    Step 3: Tokenizer

    Bhavishya Pandit
    To improve our processing requirements, we can create a smaller subset of
    the full dataset to fine-tune our model. The training set will be used to fine-
    tune our model, while the testing set will be used to evaluate it.

    Step 4: Initialize our base model

    Step 5: Evaluate method

    Bhavishya Pandit
    Step 6: Fine-tune using the Trainer Method

    After training, evaluate the model's performance on a validation or test set.


    Again, the trainer class already contains an evaluate method that takes care
    of this.

    BENEFITS OF FINE-TUNING

    Improved Performance: Fine-tuned models typically outperform their


    base counterparts on specific tasks, leading to higher accuracy and
    better user satisfaction.
    Reduced Training Time: Fine-tuning a pre-trained model is generally
    faster than training a model from scratch, as the model starts with a
    strong foundation of language understanding.
    Resource Efficiency: Fine-tuning requires less computational power
    and data compared to training a new model, making it a more
    accessible option for many organizations.
