• Abstract: Sequential fine-tuning and multi-task learning are methods aiming to incorporate knowledge from multiple tasks; however, they suffer from catastrophic forgetting and difficulties in dataset balancing. To address these shortcomings, we propose AdapterFusion, a new two stage learning algorithm that leverages knowledge from multiple tasks. First, in the knowledge extraction stage we learn task specific parameters called adapters, that encapsulate the task-specific information. We then combine the adapters in a separate knowledge composition step. We show that by separating the two stages, i.e., knowledge extraction and knowledge composition, the classifier can effectively exploit the representations learned from multiple tasks in a non-destructive manner. We empirically evaluate AdapterFusion on 16 diverse NLU tasks, and find that it effectively combines various types of knowledge at different layers of the model. We show that our approach outperforms traditional strategies such as full fine-tuning as well as multi-task learning. Our code and adapters are available at AdapterHub.ml.

  Our framework integrates two stages of "adapter on adapter" into the connector of the vision encoder and the LLM. In stage 1, we extract task-specific features and client-specific features from visual information. In stage 2, we build the cross-task Mixture-of-Adapters(CT-MoA) module to perform cross-task interaction.

  Continual learning allows the system to learn and adapt to new tasks while retaining the knowledge acquired from previous tasks. Deep learning models suffer from catastrophic forgetting of knowledge learned from earlier tasks while learning a new task. We propose a novel approach that allows knowledge transfer through a weighted attention mechanism to other task-specific adapters.

  Current fine-tuning methods build adapters widely of the context of downstream task to learn, or the context of important knowledge to maintain. We propose CorDA, a Context-oriented Decomposition Adaptation method that builds learnable task-aware adapters. Our method enables two options, the knowledge-preserved adaptation and the instruction-previewed adaptation.

  adapter-style efficient transfer learning (ETL) has shown excellent performance in the tuning of vision-language models (VLMs) We propose an effective adapter-style tuning strategy, dubbed GraphAdapter, which performs the textual adapter by explicitly modeling the dual-modality structure knowledge. In particular, the dual knowledge graph is established with two sub-graphs, i.e., a textual knowledge sub-graph, and a visual knowledge sub-graph, where the nodes and edges represent the semantics/classes and their correlations in two modalities, respectively.
