Model Fine-Tuning

Model fine-tuning is a machine learning technique where a pre-trained model (often from a large dataset) is further trained on a smaller, domain-specific dataset to adapt it to a particular task. This leverages transfer learning, allowing the model to retain general knowledge while specializing for improved performance on the target application. It is widely used in natural language processing, computer vision, and other AI domains to reduce training time and data requirements.

🧊Why learn Model Fine-Tuning?

Developers should learn model fine-tuning when building AI applications that require high accuracy on specific tasks without the resources to train models from scratch, such as in chatbots, image classification, or sentiment analysis. It is essential for adapting state-of-the-art models like BERT or GPT to custom datasets, enabling efficient deployment in production environments with limited labeled data.
