Problem

Scenario

You are adapting a pretrained language model to perform well on text from a specialized domain rather than general internet text. The data uses domain vocabulary, formatting, and label definitions that differ from what the base model saw during pretraining.

Question

How would you fine-tune a language model for a domain-specific task?

What this tests

  • Choosing a pretrained transformer for a domain task
  • Designing a realistic preprocessing pipeline for domain text
  • Fine-tuning strategy for supervised classification
  • Evaluating with F1 under class imbalance
