Parameter-Efficient Continual Fine-Tuning: A Survey

  • 用小规模参数修改替代全量微调,提升效率。
  • 解决大模型持续学习中的灾难性遗忘问题。
  • 适合关注模型轻量化与长期适应的研究者。

大规模预训练模型虽在人工智能领域取得突破,但其对独立同分布(i.i.d.)假设的依赖限制了在动态环境中的适应能力。本文综述了持续学习(Continual Learning, CL)与参数高效微调(Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning, PEFT)的结合路径,聚焦于参数高效持续微调(PECFT)。现有方法虽能以小规模参数调整实现接近全量微调的性能,但在多任务连续学习中仍面临灾难性遗忘问题。本文系统梳理了CL算法与PEFT方法,分析主流技术路线、评估指标,并探讨未来研究方向,旨在揭示二者协同潜力,为研究者提供指导,推动新型持续学习范式的发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The emergence of large pre-trained networks has revolutionized the AI field, unlocking new possibilities and achieving unprecedented performance. However, these models inherit a fundamental limitation from traditional Machine Learning approaches: their strong dependence on the \textit{i.i.d.} assumption hinders their adaptability to dynamic learning scenarios. We believe the next breakthrough in AI lies in enabling efficient adaptation to evolving environments -- such as the real world -- where new data and tasks arrive sequentially. This challenge defines the field of Continual Learning (CL), a Machine Learning paradigm focused on developing lifelong learning neural models. One alternative to efficiently adapt these large-scale models is known Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT). These methods tackle the issue of adapting the model to a particular data or scenario by performing small and efficient modifications, achieving similar performance to full fine-tuning. However, these techniques still lack the ability to adjust the model to multiple tasks continually, as they suffer from the issue of Catastrophic Forgetting. In this survey, we first provide an overview of CL algorithms and PEFT methods before reviewing the state-of-the-art on Parameter-Efficient Continual Fine-Tuning (PECFT). We examine various approaches, discuss evaluation metrics, and explore potential future research directions. Our goal is to highlight the synergy between CL and Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning, guide researchers in this field, and pave the way for novel future research directions.
