• Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has achieved remarkable training results by freezing the original weights and training only low-rank matrices, establishing itself as the predominant fine-tuning method for LLMs. In pursuit of performance closer to full-parameter training, a series of LoRA variants have emerged, such as LoRA+, PISSA, Olora, and LoRA-GA. This paper introduces a novel PEFT technique distinct from LoRA, called Block-Affine Adaptation (Bone). By dividing the original weights into multiple subspaces that share a single matrix for weight updates, Bone simplifies the process by requiring the trainable matrix to be initialized to zero, eliminating the need for complex initialization as in some LoRA variants. Compared to LoRA, Bone significantly reduces memory usage and achieves faster computation. Evaluation of both NLU and NLG tasks demonstrates that Bone substantially outperforms LoRA and its variants. Inspired by Pissa, we further proposed the ``Weight Guide'' theory to better utilize the information from the original weights. By integrating ``Weight Guide'' with Bone, we developed a new structure called Block-Affine Transformation (Bat), and ablation experiments confirmed the effectiveness of ``Weight Guide''.

  This paper proposes DSMoE, a novel approach that achieves sparsification by partitioning pre-trained FFN layers into computational blocks. We implement adaptive expert routing using sigmoid activation and straight-through estimators, enabling tokens to flexibly access different aspects of model knowledge. Experiments on LLaMA models demonstrate that under equivalent computational constraints, DSMoE achieves superior performance compared to existing pruning and MoE approaches.

  Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and its variants have shown impressive results in reducing the number of trainable parameters and memory requirements of large transformer networks. However, the low-rank nature of the weight update inherently limits the representation power of fine-tuned models. This paper introduces RandLoRA, a method that performs full-rank updates using a learned linear combinations of low-rank, non-trainable random matrices.

• IntLoRA: Integral Low-rank Adaptation of Quantized Diffusion Models [68.55148272295916]
  We propose IntLoRA, to push the efficiency limits by using integer type (INT) low-rank parameters to adapt the quantized diffusion models. IntLoRA offers three key advantages: (i) for fine-tuning, the pre-trained weights are quantized, reducing memory usage; (ii) for storage, both pre-trained and low-rank weights are in INT which consumes less disk space; (iii) for inference, IntLoRA weights can be naturally merged into quantized pre-trained weights through efficient integer multiplication or bit-shifting.

  Fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) has become a crucial technique for adapting pre-trained models to downstream tasks.

We propose eXtreme Gradient Boosting LoRA, a novel framework that bridges this gap by leveraging the power of ensemble learning.

  Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is an efficient way to fine-tune models by optimizing only a low-rank matrix.
