    When you fine-tune something, you do not start again. You make very small, careful changes so a machine, a system, or a plan works as well as it can. Musicians fine-tune an instrument when it is almost right and they need the last little bit. People also fine-tune a skill: the big learning is done, and now they polish the last details. Though actually, you will hear this a lot around computers now: someone fine-tunes a ready-made model on a smaller set of examples so it becomes good at one job. That is the same idea — it already works, and you only adjust it. The word feels calm and a little technical; fine for class or work, not fancy.

    fine-tune 是動詞,意思是微調,不是重新做一遍,而是做很小、很仔細的修改,讓機器、系統或計畫運作得更好。像樂手在樂器差不多準的時候,再調最後那一點;技能也一樣,基本功已經有了,只打磨細節。近年電腦領域也常說 fine-tune 一個現成的模型,像「fine-tune a model on a smaller set of examples」,用少量例子讓它更會做某項工作,道理相同:它本來就能用,只是再調整。語氣平實、偏技術,適合課堂或工作場合。

組成fine (small and careful) + tune (adjust so it works or sounds right)

fine-tuneverb

  • 1

    To make small adjustments to (something) until it is optimal.

    • Jim fine-tuned the radio until the sound was perfect.
    • Tevez, however, may need to fine-tune his penalty-taking technique. In the 57th minute he had the chance to soothe any lingering nerves, when he ran clear from Kolarov's pass and again exposed the high line of Leicester's defence, only for Hobbs to hack him down. The centre-half was fortunate not to be shown a red card – a point Mancini made on the touchline – but Tevez aimed his penalty low and hard, straight down the middle, and Weale saved with his feet.
