Kullback–Leibler divergence, often shortened to KL divergence, is a key concept in the evaluation and fine-tuning of large language models and generative AI. It quantifies the difference between two probability distributions, providing a measure of how one distribution diverges from a second, expected distribution. This metric is crucial for understanding how well a fine-tuned model's output distribution matches the desired distribution, without requiring complex mathematical formulas for a conceptual grasp. AI
