• Abstract summary: We present Vector-based Random Matrix Adaptation (VeRA), which reduces the number of trainable parameters compared to LoRA, yet maintains the same performance. We demonstrate its effectiveness on the GLUE and E2E benchmarks, image classification tasks, and show its application in instruction-tuning of 7B and 13B language models.

• Abstract: Low-rank adapation (LoRA) is a popular method that reduces the number of trainable parameters when finetuning large language models, but still faces acute storage challenges when scaling to even larger models or deploying numerous per-user or per-task adapted models. In this work, we present Vector-based Random Matrix Adaptation (VeRA), which significantly reduces the number of trainable parameters compared to LoRA, yet maintains the same performance. It achieves this by using a single pair of low-rank matrices shared across all layers and learning small scaling vectors instead. We demonstrate its effectiveness on the GLUE and E2E benchmarks, image classification tasks, and show its application in instruction-tuning of 7B and 13B language models.

  We study how different fine-tuning methods change pre-trained models by analyzing the model's weight matrices through the lens of their spectral properties. We find that full fine-tuning and LoRA yield weight matrices whose singular value decompositions exhibit very different structure. We conclude by examining why intruder dimensions appear in LoRA fine-tuned models, why they are undesirable, and how their effects can be minimized.

  Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is a popular Efficient Fine Tuning (PEFT) method that effectively adapts large pre-trained models for downstream tasks. We propose a novel approach that employs a low rank tensor parametrization for model updates. Our method is both efficient and effective for fine-tuning large language models, achieving a substantial reduction in the number of parameters while maintaining comparable performance.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are difficult to fully fine-tune due to their sheer number of parameters. We propose SpIEL, a novel sparse finetuning method which maintains an array of parameter indices and the deltas of these parameters relative to their pretrained values. We show that SpIEL is superior to popular parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods like LoRA in terms of performance and comparable in terms of run time.

Compared with model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML), MAMF discards the bi-level optimization and uses only first-order gradients. We show that MAMF consistently outperforms the classical fine-tuning method for few-shot transfer learning on five benchmark datasets.
