Navigating the Landscape of Large Language Models: A Comprehensive Review and Analysis of Paradigms and Fine-Tuning Strategies
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
With the surge of ChatGPT,the use of large models has significantly increased,rapidly rising to prominence across the industry and sweeping across the internet. This article is a comprehensive review of fine-tuning methods for large models. This paper investigates the latest technological advancements and the application of advanced methods in aspects such as task-adaptive fine-tuning,domain-adaptive fine-tuning,few-shot learning,knowledge distillation,multi-task learning,parameter-efficient fine-tuning,and dynamic fine-tuning.
