Domain Adaptation — NLP

Domain adaptation is a natural-language-processing technique that takes a general pretrained language model and fine-tunes it on target-domain data so that it performs better in specialised fields such as medicine, law, and finance. It builds on the transfer-learning ideas behind work like Blitzer et al. (2007) on cross-domain sentiment classification and Lee et al. (2020) on the biomedical BioBERT model.
