Vision-language models exhibit remarkable zero-shot capabilities but suffer significant performance degradation under distribution shifts. While test-time adaptation (TTA) via Low-Rank Adaptation offers a parameter-efficient solution, we identify a fundamental bottleneck in current methods: the reliance on static rank configurations.
arXiv:2607. 11940v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As the scale of large pre-trained models continues to grow, fine-tuning them under limited memory budgets has become increasingly challenging.
Vision Transformers underperform convolutional networks when training data is scarce, and distilling convolutional inductive biases from a CNN teacher is an effective remedy that leaves the deployed model unchanged. General-purpose feature distillation, however, transfers little in this setting.
arXiv:2505. 12532v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Efficiently adapting large pretrained models is critical under tight compute and memory budgets.
arXiv:2509. 25136v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Activation-aware low-rank factorization techniques yield strong compression results but are generally confined to linear layers, while existing whitening-based theory typically makes an implicit full-rank assumption on activations.
arXiv:2606. 00746v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision foundation models are bottlenecked by the quadratic cost of self-attention, which limits usable resolution and increases the cost of large-scale pretraining.
