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.
The paper introduces ISO-LoRA, an optimizer that improves rank utilization in Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) by coupling factor updates through spectral descent on the induced tangent perturbation in weight space. Experiments on GPT‑2 adaptation show that standard optimizers like AdamW concentrate updates in a few singular directions, whereas ISO-LoRA distributes energy more evenly, leading to higher effective rank and better downstream performance across 0.1B‑7B models. The authors provide theoretical guarantees under a stylized spiked‑gradient model and demonstrate that ISO-LoRA consistently outperforms factor‑wise optimizers, especially at moderate‑to‑large LoRA ranks.
GPart introduces a new parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning technique that directly maps a low‑dimensional trainable vector into the full weight space using a sparse, isometric partition matrix. Unlike LoRA, GPart eliminates the bilinear reconstruction step, preserving exact end‑to‑end isometry and reducing the checkpoint to just the vector and a random seed. Experiments across NLP, vision, and reasoning tasks show that GPart matches or surpasses existing PEFT methods while using far fewer parameters and offering a simpler, more tractable parameterization.
