将权重分解为方向与幅度,让大模型微调更高效准确

MAP: Revisiting Weight Decomposition for Low-Rank Adaptation

  • 把权重看作高维向量,严格分离方向和幅度更新
  • 在多个数据集上比现有方法提升性能,最高增益达2.1个点
  • 适合想提升微调效果的研究者和工程师使用

大语言模型的快速发展革新了自然语言处理,但其微调仍计算开销巨大,限制了广泛应用。参数高效微调(PEFT)方法如LoRA应运而生。近期工作如DoRA尝试将权重适应分解为方向与幅度成分,但现有形式常在列级别启发式定义方向,缺乏严谨几何基础。本文提出MAP,一种新框架,将权重矩阵重构为高维向量,以严格方式解耦方向与幅度。MAP对预训练权重进行归一化,学习方向更新,并引入两个标量系数,独立调节基向量与更新向量的幅度。该设计实现更可解释、灵活的适应,且可无缝集成至现有PEFT方法中。大量实验表明,结合现有方法后,MAP显著提升性能,提供简单而强大的增强。鉴于其普适性与简洁性,我们希望它能成为未来PEFT方法设计的默认设置。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The rapid development of large language models has revolutionized natural language processing, but their fine-tuning remains computationally expensive, hindering broad deployment. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods, such as LoRA, have emerged as solutions. Recent work like DoRA attempts to further decompose weight adaptation into direction and magnitude components. However, existing formulations often define direction heuristically at the column level, lacking a principled geometric foundation. In this paper, we propose MAP, a novel framework that reformulates weight matrices as high-dimensional vectors and decouples their adaptation into direction and magnitude in a rigorous manner. MAP normalizes the pre-trained weights, learns a directional update, and introduces two scalar coefficients to independently scale the magnitude of the base and update vectors. This design enables more interpretable and flexible adaptation, and can be seamlessly integrated into existing PEFT methods. Extensive experiments show that MAP significantly improves performance when coupling with existing methods, offering a simple yet powerful enhancement to existing PEFT methods. Given the universality and simplicity of MAP, we hope it can serve as a default setting for designing future PEFT methods.
