Federated parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) enables communication-efficient adaptation of large pretrained models on decentralized edge data, but it remains fragile under non-IID client heterogeneity. In low-rank adaptation (LoRA), different clients may learn locally useful but spectrally misaligned update subspaces, causing high-variance aggregation and poor global transfer.

arXiv:2608. 15381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) enables efficient federated fine-tuning of large language models, but its factorized parameterization creates a tension between accurate aggregation of local updates and continuity of locally optimized factors.

arXiv:2607. 19391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation is widely used for parameter-efficient fine-tuning, yet existing methods typically assign the same adapter rank to every transformer layer despite their heterogeneous adaptation requirements.

arXiv:2607. 14367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated fine-tuning of large pre-trained models increasingly relies on Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to reduce communication and computation, but heterogeneous clients can make adapter aggregation unstable.

Federated fine-tuning of large pre-trained models increasingly relies on Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to reduce communication and computation, but heterogeneous clients can make adapter aggregation unstable. We identify the data-parameter interference as a geometric source of this instability.

arXiv:2607. 22251v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is a widely used parameter-efficient fine-tuning method for large language models, but its performance depends strongly on how a fixed rank budget is distributed across Transformer modules.
