Pretraining Objectives is a formal specification of the learning goal or task used to guide the initial training phase of a language model on large-scale unlabeled text data, distinguishing it from downstream fine-tuning objectives by focusing on general representation learning through self-supervised signals such as next-word prediction or masked token reconstruction.
