Overview
- Contextual Fine-Tuning (CFT) teaches language models to learn from context
- Improves model performance without domain-specific training
- Outperforms instruction tuning across multiple datasets
- Models become better at extracting information from provided context
- Leads to more consistent and reliable responses
- Works effectively across different model architectures
Plain English Explanation
Learning from context is a fundamental human skill. When you read a passage before answering questions about it, you're using context to form your response. Traditional language models aren't explicitly trained to use context effectively - they're just expected to do it natural...
