Outline

This paper presents contextual fine-tuning, a novel method for fine-tuning large-scale language models (LLMs). Extending existing prompting techniques, we guide the learning process of LLMs using directive prompts that mimic human cognitive strategies. This approach aims to help the model better understand and interpret domain-specific knowledge, enhancing its ability to rapidly fine-tune on novel datasets, such as those in healthcare and finance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method improves the fine-tuning speed and performance of LLMs.

Takeaways, Limitations

•
Takeaways:
◦
We demonstrate that the fine-tuning efficiency of LLM can be improved by prompting that mimics human cognitive strategies.
◦
The potential for rapid adaptation and performance enhancement of LLMs in diverse fields such as healthcare and finance.
◦
Contextual fine-tuning is a novel approach that generalizes existing instruction tuning, offering new possibilities for LLM learning and application.
•
Limitations:
◦
The effectiveness of the proposed method may be limited to specific areas (healthcare, finance).
◦
Further research is needed on generalization performance to other types of LLM or datasets.
◦
Lack of objective assessment and analysis of how accurately it mimics human cognitive strategies.
◦
Lack of detailed explanation of the design and selection of prompts used.
