ReviewInstruct: A Review-Driven Multi-Turn Conversations Generation Method for Large Language Models

Jiangxu Wu, Cong Wang, TianHuang Su +10

The effectiveness of large language models (LLMs) in conversational AI is hindered by their reliance on single-turn supervised fine-tuning (SFT) data, which limits contextual coher…
