SPDF: Sparse Pre-training and Dense Fine-tuning for Large Language Models
Vithursan Thangarasa, Abhay Gupta, William Marshall +5
The pre-training and fine-tuning paradigm has contributed to a number of breakthroughs in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Instead of directly training on a downstream task, lang…
