ChainDoRA: Tensor-Train Factorized Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation for Parameter-Efficient LLM Fine-Tuning

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.

LORA-CRAFT: Cross-layer Rank Adaptation via Frozen Tucker Decomposition of Pre-trained Attention Weights

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.

MoARa: Module-Aware Rank Allocation and Structure-Preserving Decomposition for Low-Rank LLM Pre-training

MoARa introduces a module-aware rank allocation strategy and a block-wise magnitude-direction decomposition to improve low-rank gradient projection for large language model pre‑training. By profiling Transformer modules and tailoring projection ranks, it reduces the number of steps and wall‑clock time needed to reach target perplexity. Experiments on Llama, Qwen, and DeepSeek models show up to 41.7% fewer steps and 37.1% less training time with minimal memory overhead.
