• Abstract: With the rapid scaling of large language models (LLMs), serving numerous low-rank adaptations (LoRAs) concurrently has become increasingly impractical, leading to unaffordable costs and necessitating more parameter-efficient finetuning methods. In this work, we introduce Partially Rotation-enhanced Low-Rank Adaptation (PRoLoRA), an intra-layer sharing mechanism comprising four essential components: broadcast reduction, rotation enhancement, partially-sharing refinement, and rectified initialization strategy. As a superset of LoRA, PRoLoRA retains its advantages, and effectively circumvent the drawbacks of peer parameter-sharing methods with superior model capacity, practical feasibility, and broad applicability. Empirical experiments demonstrate the remarkably higher parameter efficiency of PRoLoRA in both specific parameter budget and performance target scenarios, and its scalability to larger LLMs. Notably, with one time less trainable parameters, PRoLoRA still outperforms LoRA on multiple instruction tuning datasets. Subsequently, an ablation study is conducted to validate the necessity of individual components and highlight the superiority of PRoLoRA over three potential variants. Hopefully, the conspicuously higher parameter efficiency can establish PRoLoRA as a resource-friendly alternative to LoRA.

  Continual Learning with foundation models has emerged as a promising approach to harnessing the power of pre-trained models for sequential tasks. We propose a Scalable Low-Rank Adaptation (S-LoRA) method for CL (in particular class incremental learning), which incrementally decouples the learning of the direction and magnitude of LoRA parameters. Our theoretical and empirical analysis demonstrates that S-LoRA tends to follow a low-loss trajectory that converges to an overlapped low-loss region, resulting in an excellent stability-plasticity trade-off in CL.
