Definition
Finetuning refers to the technique of taking a model that has already been trained on a large, general dataset and continuing its training on a smaller, domain-specific dataset. This allows the model to leverage previously learned features while adjusting its parameters to excel at a new, specialized task. It is a standard practice in transfer learning, significantly reducing the computational cost and data requirements needed to achieve high performance on niche applications.
Summary
The process of further training a pre-trained model on a specific dataset to adapt it to a particular task.
