Fine-Tuning Retrieval-Augmented Generation with an Auto-Regressive Language Model for Sentiment Analysis in Financial Reviews by Miehleketo Mathebula, Abiodun Modupe, Vukosi Marivate

“…Additionally, the pre-training of a larger language model (PTLM) struggles to capture bidirectional contextual knowledge learnt through word dependency because the sentence-level representation fails to take broad features into account. We develop a novel structure called language feature extraction and adaptation for reviews (LFEAR), an advanced natural language model that amalgamates retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with a conversation format for an auto-regressive fine-tuning model (ARFT). …”
