instruction-fine-tuning

This paper introduces grounded glossary generation for Classical Sanskrit, a task involving recovering Sanskrit phrases and producing translation-grounded meanings from sloka-translation pairs. It constructs a benchmark from Hindu texts and evaluates various AI models, finding that instruction fine-tuning improves performance, with morphological modeling identified as a key challenge.

LiFT is a longitudinal instruction fine-tuning framework that unifies diverse temporal NLP tasks under a shared instruction schema with curriculum-based training. Evaluated across OLMo, LLaMA, and Qwen models, LiFT consistently outperforms base-model in-context learning, especially on out-of-distribution data and rare change events.
