The paper introduces FrameFT, a parameter-efficient fine-tuning method for transformer models that represents weight updates using sparse coefficients in a Fusion Frame basis. This approach reduces memory usage by storing only the sparse coefficients, leading to significant compute advantages and formal convergence guarantees. Experiments on language and vision tasks show that FrameFT matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art PEFT techniques while requiring far fewer trainable parameters.
