先高秩训练再压缩,让LoRA模型更小更强。

LoRA-Squeeze: Simple and Effective Post-Tuning and In-Tuning Compression of LoRA Modules

  • 先用高秩训练,再用随机奇异值分解压缩到低秩
  • 13个文本和10个视觉语言任务中压缩后效果优于直接低秩训练
  • 适合追求模型轻量化且不想调超参的研究者

尽管存在众多变体,标准低秩适应(LoRA)仍是参数高效微调(PEFT)的主流方法。然而,其仍面临最优秩预选、秩相关超参设置以及异构秩模块部署复杂等挑战。本文提出LoRA-Squeeze,一种简单高效的后处理与训练中压缩方法:先以较高源秩进行微调,重构权重更新矩阵,并通过随机奇异值分解(RSVD)生成目标低秩的压缩版LoRA模块。在13个文本与10个视觉语言任务上的实验证明,后处理压缩常能获得比直接训练目标秩更好的性能,尤其在允许少量目标秩微调步骤时。此外,渐进式训练中秩退火版本持续实现最佳大小-性能权衡。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Despite its huge number of variants, standard Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is still a dominant technique for parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT). Nonetheless, it faces persistent challenges, including the pre-selection of an optimal rank and rank-specific hyper-parameters, as well as the deployment complexity of heterogeneous-rank modules and more sophisticated LoRA derivatives. In this work, we introduce LoRA-Squeeze, a simple and efficient methodology that aims to improve standard LoRA learning by changing LoRA module ranks either post-hoc or dynamically during training}. Our approach posits that it is better to first learn an expressive, higher-rank solution and then compress it, rather than learning a constrained, low-rank solution directly. The method involves fine-tuning with a deliberately high(er) source rank, reconstructing or efficiently approximating the reconstruction of the full weight update matrix, and then using Randomized Singular Value Decomposition (RSVD) to create a new, compressed LoRA module at a lower target rank. Extensive experiments across 13 text and 10 vision-language tasks show that post-hoc compression often produces lower-rank adapters that outperform those trained directly at the target rank, especially if a small number of fine-tuning steps at the target rank is allowed. Moreover, a gradual, in-tuning rank annealing variant of LoRA-Squeeze consistently achieves the best LoRA size-performance trade-off.
