+## Some features/functionalities of fine-tuning stack:
+    1) Gradient accumulation: By default, gradient accumulation happens for 4 steps. To update this value, command line argument gradient_accumulation_steps has to be passed. (Example: '--gradient_accumulation_steps 8')
+    2) Gradient Checkpointing: By default, gradient checkpointing is disabled. To enable it, command line argument gradient_accumulation_steps has to be passed.
+
+## Fine-Tuning on custom dataset
+
+To run fine tuning for any user specific dataset, prepare the dataset using the following steps:
+
+    1) Create a directory named 'dataset' inside efficient-transformers.
+    2) Inside this directory, create a file named 'custom_dataset.py'.
+    3) Inside the newly created efficient-transformers/dataset/custom_dataset.py, define a function named 'get_custom_dataset'. 
+    4) get_custom_dataset() should have following 4 parameters:  dataset_config, tokenizer, split, context_length.  
+    5) Inside get_custom_dataset(), user needs to apply prompt and tokenize the dataset accordingly. Please refer the below template on how to define get_custom_dataset().
+    6) For examples, please refer python files present in [dataset](https://github.com/quic/efficient-transformers/tree/main/QEfficient/finetune/dataset). In case of Samsum dataset, get_preprocessed_samsum() of efficient-transformers/QEfficient/finetune/dataset/samsum_dataset.py is called. 
+    7) In [dataset_config.py](https://github.com/quic/efficient-transformers/blob/main/QEfficient/finetune/configs/dataset_config.py), for custom_dataset class, pass the appropriate value for train_split and test_split. As an alternative, these values can be passed as command line arguments as well with the finetune command. For example "--train_split train".
+    8) While running fine tuning, pass argument "-–dataset custom_dataset" to finetune on custom dataset.   
+
+Template for get_custom_dataset() to be defined inside efficient-transformers/dataset/custom_dataset.py is as follows:
+
+```python
+def get_custom_dataset(dataset_config, tokenizer, split, context_length=None):
+
+    # load dataset
+    # based on split, retrieve only the specific portion of the dataset (train or eval) either here or at the last
+    
+    def apply_prompt_template():
+        # transform the passed datapoint by applying the prompt on it 
+    
+    def tokenize():
+        # tokenize the passed datapoint
+    
+    # define the prompt
+    # call apply_prompt_template() for each data point:
+    # dataset = dataset.map(apply_prompt_template ,<other args>)
+    # call tokenize() for each data point:
+    # dataset = dataset.map(tokenize, <other args>)
+    
+    return dataset
+```
