- Abstract: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) has emerged as a preferred method for efficiently adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) with remarkable simplicity and efficacy. This note extends the original LoRA paper by offering new perspectives that were not initially discussed and presents a series of insights for deploying LoRA at scale. Without introducing new experiments, we aim to improve the understanding and application of LoRA.

This paper investigates the application of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to small models for cross-domain few-shot object detection in aerial images.
LoRA helps mitigate overfitting, making it a promising approach for resource-constrained settings.
Our results show that LoRA applied after an initial fine-tuning slightly improves performance in low-shot settings.
