In the realm of deep learning, finetuning of pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) on private datasets is an excellent customization option to increase a model’s relevancy for a specific task. This practice is not only common, but also essential for developing specialized models, particularly for tasks like text classification and summarization.
In such scenarios, tools like MLflow are invaluable. Tracking tools like MLflow help to ensure that every aspect of the training process - metrics, parameters, and artifacts - are reproducibly tracked and logged, allowing for the analysis, comparison, and sharing of tuning iterations.
