arXiv:2602. 17510v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce LoRA-CRAFT (\textbf{C}ross-layer \textbf{R}ank \textbf{A}daptation via \textbf{F}rozen \textbf{T}ucker), abbreviated CRAFT throughout, an extremely parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method that applies Tucker tensor decomposition to pre-trained attention weight matrices stacked across transformer layers and trains only small square adaptation matrices on the resulting frozen Tucker factors.

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning is usually framed as a question of how many parameters to update. Under a severe trainable-state budget, however, where those coefficients act is equally consequential....
ChainDoRA is a new parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning framework for large language models that replaces the dense low‑rank factorization of LoRA with a connected Tensor‑Train (TT) chain. By separating weight magnitude and direction and using a TT rank to control representation capacity, ChainDoRA achieves higher average accuracy on seven commonsense reasoning benchmarks while dramatically reducing trainable parameters—down to 5.35 M versus 56 M for LoRA and DoRA. Ablation studies show that the TT parameterization offers controllable trade‑offs between parameter cost and accuracy.

Abstract: Can a fixed continuous prefix replace a given low-rank adapter while the attention head stays frozen? In this research, we show that the answer depends...
