Introduction Large Language Models are often trained rather than built, requiring multiple steps to perform well. These steps, including Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT) and Preference Alignment, are crucial for learning new things and aligning with human responses. However, each step takes a significant amount of time and computing resources. One solution is the Odd Ratio […] The post Finetuning Llama 3 with Odds Ratio Preference Optimization appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

Conformal prediction (CP) for regression can be challenging, especially when the output distribution is heteroscedastic, multimodal, or skewed. Some of the issues can be addressed by estimating a distribution over the output, but in reality, such approaches can be sensitive to estimation error and yield unstable intervals. Here, we circumvent the challenges by converting regression to a classification problem and then use CP for classification to obtain CP sets for regression.
