Fine-Tuning Behavior Dictated by Pretrained Inductive Biases
ClementineDomi6 · x · 2026-07-08
This is the core conclusion of the aforementioned ICML paper, "A Theory of How Pretraining Shapes Inductive Bias in Fine-Tuning": fine-tuning behavior is largely dictated by the inductive biases inherited from pretraining. This post is part of the same release event as the paper's launch thread.
