Question 3

+2 marksOne correct option

A research team wants their pre-trained language model to generate more helpful and harmless responses without extensive task-specific dataset collection. They have a collection of prompts and human-preferred responses. Which of the following techniques directly aligns with this goal and data?

  1. A

    Pre-training the model on a larger, more diverse text corpus.

  2. B

    Full fine-tuning on multiple downstream classification tasks.

  3. C

    Instruction Tuning using prompt-completion pairs or reformatting existing datasets into an instructional format.

  4. D

    Implementing Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) techniques like LoRa.
