Fine-tuning and inference

- [Instructor] Now, let's explore the fine-tuning process. We start with our carefully prepared training data, including questions and document sets, which are structured into clear reasoning steps. Next, we use supervised learning to train the model. During training, the model learns to identify and prioritize relevant information from Oracle documents while ignoring the distractor documents, and it's trained to generate chain-of-thought style answers, learning to reason step by step, and cite relevant source documents. The model gradually adapts to understand domain-specific patterns. So throughout the process, the model learns to generate detailed and step-by-step answers. RAFT has four crucial training objectives. Like a skilled researcher, the model learns to spot the exact information needed to answer the question. This is crucial. The model learns not to be misled by any sort of irrelevant information, and by learning from distractor documents, it manages to hone that…
