Case Study

Risk Assessment of Full Fine-Tuning

A research lab starts with a large language model pre-trained on a diverse corpus of web text. Their goal is to adapt this model for a highly specialized task: identifying specific genetic mutations mentioned in biomedical research papers. For this new task, they only have a small, carefully labeled dataset of 500 examples. If the lab applies the full fine-tuning method, where all of the model's parameters are updated, what is a significant risk they face regarding the model's performance, and why does this risk arise in this specific scenario?
