Automatic Rank Allocation for Low-Rank Adaptation in Large Language Models via lp Regularization

The paper introduces ρ_p-LoRA, a rank-allocation strategy for low-rank adaptation (LoRA) in large language models that uses ρ_p regularization (0 < p < 1) to induce sparsity in rank-one components. By regularizing the energy of each component, redundant parts are encouraged to vanish while important ones are retained, leading to an implicit thresholding criterion derived from a two-dimensional proximal subproblem. Experiments on natural language understanding and question-answering tasks show that ρ_p-LoRA achieves performance comparable to existing LoRA baselines.

Automatic Rank Allocation for Low-Rank Adaptation in Large Language Models via lp Regularization

The paper introduces αp-LoRA, a rank-allocation strategy for low-rank adaptation (LoRA) in large language models that uses π-regularization (0 < p < 1) to induce sparsity in rank-one components. By regularizing the energy of each component, redundant parts are encouraged to vanish while important ones are retained, and the authors derive a proximal subproblem that reduces the matrix optimization to a two‑dimensional thresholding criterion. Experiments on natural language understanding and question‑answering tasks show that αp-LoRA achieves performance competitive with existing LoRA baselines.

BaRA: Bayesian Adaptive Rank Allocation for Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2606. 29184v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) enables highly efficient fine-tuning by constraining task-specific updates to fixed low-rank subspaces, this rigid design limits representational flexibility and often results in overconfident predictions and miscalibrated uncertainty, especially in low-data regimes.

Sparsity-Aware Low-Rank Representation for Efficient Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models

arXiv:2601. 16991v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adapting large pre-trained language models to downstream tasks often entails fine-tuning millions of parameters or deploying costly dense weight updates, which hinders their use in resource-constrained environments.
