Overview

  • Introduces a new approach for fine-tuning large language models called Selective Self-to-Supervised Fine-Tuning (S2SFT)
  • Combines self-supervised and supervised learning to improve model generalization
  • Achieves better performance while using less training data
  • Reduces catastrophic forgetting during fine-tuning
  • Shows significant improvements on multiple benchmark tasks

Plain English Explanation

Selective self-to-supervised fine-tuning works like giving a language model focused practice sessions. Instead of trying to learn everything at once, the model first practices on its ow...
