arXiv:2606. 12921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) significantly reduces compute and memory costs for finetuning Deep Learning models but is often harder to tune than dense training: when using factor-wise optimizers such as AdamW, it is sensitive to initialization choices, its optimal learning rates transfer poorly across ranks, and it often fails to beat dense baselines.

arXiv:2606. 04405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern Transformer architectures frequently employ normalization mechanisms such as RMSNorm and Query-Key Normalization, making parts of the model approximately scale-invariant with respect to weight magnitudes.

arXiv:2607. 08754v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-rank factorization is widely used to compress neural networks, but modern models are often not naturally amenable to aggressive factorization without significant accuracy loss.

Abstract: Soft spectral clipping (SSC) reduces gradient singular values, but its effect depends on the gradient scale and clipping threshold. We introduce CAST (...
