Researchers have developed a new self-supervised learning method called DecSelfMask to improve the performance of decoder-only models on classification tasks, particularly in domains with limited annotated data like healthcare. This approach uses relevance attribution to identify key text portions, masks them, and trains the model to reconstruct them, thereby transferring knowledge from unlabeled data. Experiments on clinical notes demonstrated significant gains over standard supervised fine-tuning and other self-learning techniques. AI
