Outline
This paper proposes a novel method called LookAhead Tuning to address the stability degradation that occurs during fine-tuning of large-scale language models (LLMs) for domain-specific adaptation. LookAhead Tuning modifies the training data using two simple strategies: one that reveals partial answer prefixes in advance, and the other that minimizes changes to the model's initial token distribution while preserving the original stability mechanism. Experimental results demonstrate that LookAhead Tuning effectively maintains model stability without compromising performance on downstream tasks. Therefore, it can be established as a reliable and efficient solution for safely and effectively adapting LLMs.
Takeaways, Limitations
