An experiment demonstrated that additional training on specific conversational tasks did not improve a Qwen model's performance on a separate set of general questions. While the model achieved a 96% score on dialogue classification, its accuracy on a fixed set of public questions remained unchanged, indicating a potential overfitting issue. Further attempts with more practice on date-related questions also showed no improvement on a broader set of similar problems, suggesting that specialized training may not generalize to other tasks.
