Technique
Fully Supervised Finetuning
We mainly focus on techniques that are applicable to improving or eliciting "reasoning" in large language models like GPT-3 (175B)
Papers in this paradigm vary a lot and are usually based on small models trained on specific datasets. We list several papers here for reference (that is, the list is not complete). Please refer to our survey for some discussion.
