arXiv:2601. 21003v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models usually put more emphasis on accuracy and therefore, will guess even when not certain about the prediction, which is especially severe when fine-tuned on small datasets due to the inherent tendency toward miscalibration.
arXiv:2607. 02182v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable reasoning capabilities, but their task-specific fine-tuning is notoriously plagued by overconfidence, severely hindering trustworthy deployment.
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 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.
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.
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.
Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is the standard way to fine-tune large models, yet when its two factors are trained independently, the update ignores the geometry of the low-rank weight change it induces. We introduce LoRA-TSD, an optimizer that treats every LoRA step as a tangent vector of the fixed-rank matrix manifold and takes the spectral-norm steepest-descent step of Muon inside that tangent space, mapping the result back to the factors through a retraction native to the LoRA parametrization.
LoRA-TSD introduces a new optimizer for low‑rank adaptation (LoRA) that treats each update as a tangent vector on the fixed‑rank matrix manifold and applies a Muon‑style spectral‑norm steepest‑descent step within that tangent space. The method avoids costly full‑matrix operations and offers a retraction that is up to 2.8× cheaper than previous manifold approaches. The authors prove that their surrogate recovers LoRA‑Pro, identify the Riemannian gradient as the natural stationarity measure, and provide the first global convergence guarantees for both LoRA‑Pro and LoRA‑TSD, achieving superior performance across multiple benchmarks with Llama and Qwen models.
