不更新参数,通过筛选通道提升视觉模型下游性能

Parameter-Free Fine-tuning via Redundancy Elimination for Vision Foundation Models

  • 基于输出差异选择冗余通道,替换为更有效的特征
  • 在分割、深度估计等任务上超越传统微调方法
  • 无需训练,可无缝衔接现有微调策略,节省显存

视觉基础模型(VFMs)在学习通用视觉表征方面表现出色。然而,传统微调需更新参数,即使高效微调方法也需修改数千至数百万权重。本文研究了段落任意模型(SAM)中的冗余性,提出一种新型无参数微调方法。该方法不调整参数,而是通过选择、重用和增强预训练特征来提升模型表现。具体地,我们设计了一种基于模型输出差异的通道选择算法,识别冗余与有效通道;通过替换冗余通道为更有效的特征,过滤低效特征并重用原本任务无关的特征以增强任务特定表示。在跨域和同域数据集上的实验表明,该方法在图像分割、深度估计和图像分类等多种视觉任务中均具高效性和有效性。值得注意的是,该方法可无缝集成现有微调策略(如LoRA、Adapter),进一步提升已微调模型性能。由于通道选择仅依赖模型推理,显著降低GPU内存开销。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Vision foundation models (VFMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in learning universal visual representations. However, adapting these models to downstream tasks conventionally requires parameter updates, with even parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods necessitating the modification of thousands to millions of weights. In this paper, we investigate the redundancies in the segment anything model (SAM) and then propose a novel parameter-free fine-tuning method. Unlike traditional fine-tuning methods that adjust parameters, our method emphasizes selecting, reusing, and enhancing pre-trained features, offering a new perspective on fine-tuning foundation models. Specifically, we introduce a channel selection algorithm based on the model's output difference to identify redundant and effective channels. By selectively replacing the redundant channels with more effective ones, we filter out less useful features and reuse more task-irrelevant features to downstream tasks, thereby enhancing the task-specific feature representation. Experiments on both out-of-domain and in-domain datasets demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our method in different vision tasks (e.g., image segmentation, depth estimation and image classification). Notably, our approach can seamlessly integrate with existing fine-tuning strategies (e.g., LoRA, Adapter), further boosting the performance of already fine-tuned models. Moreover, since our channel selection involves only model inference, our method significantly reduces GPU memory overhead.
