| Challenge: | Recent research shows that large language models pretrained using unsupervised approaches can achieve significant performance improvement on many downstream tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose an unsupervised approach to fine-tuning large language models using unsupervised approaches to many downstream tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves on four e-commerce applications and can achieve an average improvement of 10% in few-shot settings and 3.7% in data-rich settings over the standard approach. |

| Challenge: | Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to solve multiple tasks by sharing a base representation among them. |
| Approach: | They propose an approach that allows for "asynchronous" convergence among the tasks where each task can converge on its own schedule. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing methods in two 5-task MTL setups. |
