• Abstract: A good initialization of deep learning models is essential since it can help them converge better and faster. However, pretraining large models is unaffordable for many researchers, which makes a desired prediction for initial parameters more necessary nowadays. Graph HyperNetworks (GHNs), one approach to predicting model parameters, have recently shown strong performance in initializing large vision models. Unfortunately, predicting parameters of very wide networks relies on copying small chunks of parameters multiple times and requires an extremely large number of parameters to support full prediction, which greatly hinders its adoption in practice. To address this limitation, we propose LoGAH (Low-rank GrAph Hypernetworks), a GHN with a low-rank parameter decoder that expands to significantly wider networks without requiring as excessive increase of parameters as in previous attempts. LoGAH allows us to predict the parameters of 774-million large neural networks in a memory-efficient manner. We show that vision and language models (i.e., ViT and GPT-2) initialized with LoGAH achieve better performance than those initialized randomly or using existing hypernetworks. Furthermore, we show promising transfer learning results w.r.t. training LoGAH on small datasets and using the predicted parameters to initialize for larger tasks. We provide the codes in https://github.com/Blackzxy/LoGAH .

  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.

Our approach applies to both Bottleneck and Attention layers, effectively halving the parameters while incurring only minor performance degradation.

A recently released Graph HyperNetwork (GHN) trained this way on one million smaller ImageNet architectures is able to predict parameters for large unseen networks such as ResNet-50. While networks with predicted parameters lose performance on the source task, the predicted parameters have been found useful for fine-tuning on other tasks.

As an implementation, we propose a novel methodology to add prior knowledge by modifying the gradients according to a set of model-specific hyper- parameters. For a simple model trained with a Repr, we focus on a VGG-style plain model and showcase that such a simple model trained with a Repr, which is referred to as Rep-VGG, performs on par with the recent well-designed models.
