Fine-Tuning
Continuing training on domain-specific data to adapt a pre-trained model to a specific task.
LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
A parameter-efficient fine-tuning method that adds low-rank adapter matrices.
Post-training
Training steps applied after pretraining, such as instruction tuning, preference optimization, and safety tuning.
Instruction Tuning
Fine-tuning a model on instruction-response pairs to improve task following.
Learning Rate
A training hyperparameter controlling how much parameters change each update step.
