AutoAdapt is a modular framework that automatically discovers latent domains and trains per-domain Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapters independently in parallel, without modifying other adapters. It uses parameter‑free routing to integrate new domains, achieving performance comparable to a LoRA adapter trained on all domains while avoiding full‑model retraining. The approach prevents domain interference by construction, enabling taxonomy‑free domain specialization across 14 benchmarks and GPT‑4o evaluations.
arXiv:2608. 05161v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Instruction-tuned LLMs are deployed into environments where domains evolve, yet extending a fine-tuned model's capabilities without full retraining remains an unsolved practical challenge.
The paper introduces Domain‑Specialized Upcycling (DS‑Upcycling), a method that expands a dense Transformer with domain‑specific experts and a router to improve multi‑domain adaptation. Unlike prior LoRA‑based adapters that either weight all domains equally or activate all experts, DS‑Upcycling trains a domain‑aware router to select the appropriate expert while freezing other parameters. Experiments demonstrate superior average performance across domains and high routing accuracy (90‑98%) with only 256 examples per domain.

arXiv:2608. 16384v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Universal visual representations require adaptation mechanisms that adapt across heterogeneous domains without fragmenting knowledge into domain-specific modules.
HyperRepair is a framework that restores the general capabilities of fine‑tuned language models while keeping their domain specialization, using only inference time. It learns a hypernetwork from repairs on source models, which generates a Repairing Side Net (RSN) that selectively corrects the model based on activation fingerprints. Evaluated on two model families, 12 LoRA adaptation datasets, and 15 general benchmarks, HyperRepair retains 99.5% of fine‑tuned domain performance and 93.4% of the base model’s general performance.
