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

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

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.

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.
