Improving LLM Generalization by Diversifying Tasks and Instructions
A key strategy for improving the generalization capabilities of Large Language Models is to increase the diversity of the fine-tuning data. This can be achieved by defining a wide variety of tasks using varied instructions. By training on a broad range of tasks and instruction styles, the model learns to better generalize to new inputs and unseen tasks.

Classification of Instruction Fine-Tuning as an Alignment Problem
A development team starts with a large, pre-trained language model that has a broad understanding of language but no specific ability to act as a specialized assistant. To create a helpful summarization tool, they prepare a dataset of several thousand examples, where each example consists of a long article (the instruction) and a concise, accurate summary (the desired response). They then continue training the model on this new dataset for a short period. Which statement best analyzes the primary purpose and effect of this training process?

A development team has fine-tuned a large language model to be a helpful assistant. They observe that the model excels at summarizing technical documents and answering direct factual questions, which were the primary tasks in its fine-tuning dataset. However, when users ask it to perform more creative tasks like writing a short poem or brainstorming marketing slogans, the model's performance is poor and generic. Which of the following strategies would be the most effective next step to improve the model's ability to handle this wider range of user requests?
