Researchers have developed a new method called FINCH to address catastrophic forgetting during the fine-tuning of large language models. FINCH employs a loss-adaptive learning rate schedule that decreases the learning rate for high-loss batches and increases it as the model converges. This approach effectively reduces forgetting by an average of 93% across various benchmarks while maintaining task performance. FINCH also shows improvements in preserving model calibration and confidence. AI
