Transitioning from Pre-training to Post-training

The workshop studies interactions between foundation-model pre-training and later adaptation. It invites theoretical and empirical work on how pre-training affects fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, self-improvement and distillation, and how these procedures alter the capabilities and representations of the original model. Session: 08:00–17:00 (Australia/Sydney). A paid NeurIPS virtual pass includes workshop livestreams; on-site access follows the host-location registration rules.
