Abstract

Fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) with the help of transformative approach of Federated learning (FL) while preserving user privacy in personalized generative applications. The objective of the research paper is to introduce a privacy-preserving FL-based framework that can enable decentralized fine-tuning of LLMs for distributed user-specific datasets without exposing individual data.
