PLUME is a lightweight framework for personalizing large language models by learning a shared task-specific subspace from aggregated user data and then training only a small square matrix for each user within that subspace. The approach introduces cross-layer shared parameters and rank‑1 residual terms to reduce redundancy while preserving expressiveness. Experiments on personalized text generation benchmarks show that PLUME matches or outperforms strong baselines while cutting per‑user parameters by over 95%.
arXiv:2508. 02929v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling laws have been established for recommender systems, yet efficiently deploying foundation model (FM) across multiple recommendation surfaces remains a major unsolved challenge.
The paper introduces FedRoRA, a federated learning framework that combines Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) with rank‑heterogeneous personalization. It separates model adaptation into shared global directions and client‑specific rank‑wise magnitudes, using SVD on the server to extract a global subspace and a personalized projection with top‑k selection for each client. Experiments on natural language understanding and generation tasks show that FedRoRA outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.
arXiv:2607. 24845v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been applied to sequential recommendation by formulating it as a natural language task.
The paper investigates federated learning where each client’s data consists of unknown mixtures of distinct tasks, a scenario termed compound heterogeneity. It shows that when tasks share a common feature geometry, the optimal model for a mixed client is a convex combination of task‑specific models, motivating input‑dependent routing to specialized experts. The authors propose FedSEE, a method that recovers task experts via a convex program and achieves better performance than baselines, reducing negative transfer by 2.9 points overall and 3.7 points for the worst‑served quartile.
