提出混合方法,让大模型微调更快更省资源。

Hybrid and Unitary PEFT for Resource-Efficient Large Language Models

  • 动态融合多种微调方法,按梯度大小自适应更新。
  • 训练速度提升2.1倍,显存降低近50%,接近全量微调效果。
  • 适合算力有限但需高效微调的场景,尤其多语言低资源任务。

大规模语言模型(LLM)微调因规模和内存需求仍面临计算瓶颈。本文全面评估了参数高效微调(PEFT)技术,包括LoRA、BOFT、LoRA-GA和uRNN,提出一种新型混合策略,动态结合BOFT的正交稳定性与LoRA-GA的梯度对齐快速收敛能力。通过按层计算受梯度范数引导的自适应更新,该方法在多样任务中实现更优收敛效率与泛化性能。首次将酉循环神经网络(uRNN)原理引入基于Transformer的LLM,通过结构化酉约束增强梯度稳定性。在GLUE、GSM8K、MT-Bench和HumanEval等基准上,使用7B至405B参数模型,混合方法在三个独立运行中持续取得提升,接近全量微调精度,训练时间减少约2.1倍,峰值显存降低近50%。在XNLI和FLORES的多语言低资源实验中(每语言仅32样本),同样预算下表现稳定且持续增益。结果表明,该方法为资源受限环境下的可扩展、实用型大模型微调提供了可行路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) remains a computational bottleneck due to their scale and memory demands. This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) techniques, including LoRA, BOFT, LoRA-GA, and uRNN, and introduces a novel hybrid strategy that dynamically integrates BOFT's orthogonal stability with LoRA-GA's gradient-aligned rapid convergence. By computing per-layer adaptive updates guided by gradient norms, the hybrid method achieves superior convergence efficiency and generalization across diverse tasks. We also explore, for the first time, the adaptation of unitary RNN (uRNN) principles to Transformer-based LLMs, enhancing gradient stability through structured unitary constraints. Across GLUE, GSM8K, MT-Bench, and HumanEval, using models ranging from 7B to 405B parameters, the hybrid approach yields consistent gains across three independent runs per task and model, approaching the quality of full fine-tuning while reducing training time by approximately 2.1 times and peak memory usage by nearly 50 percent, indicating practical significance under resource constraints. A compact multilingual and low-resource study on XNLI and FLORES, using 32 examples per language, further demonstrates consistent gains under the same budget with a small and stable footprint. These results indicate a practical and scalable path toward accessible LLM fine-tuning under resource constraints.
