通过筛选重要方向和协调层间更新,提升低秩微调效果。

Not All Directions Matter: Towards Structured and Task-Aware Low-Rank Model Adaptation

  • 用信息瓶颈过滤无关更新方向,避免语义漂移。
  • 引入轻量图协调器,统一各层更新,解决结构不一致。
  • 训练时生效,推理零开销,适合资源受限场景。

低秩微调(LoRA)已成为参数高效微调(PEFT)的核心方法,但其效果受限于两大根本问题:语义漂移(对所有更新方向一视同仁)和结构不一致(各层独立适配导致更新混乱)。为此,我们提出 StructLoRA 框架,采用双组件设计:(1) 基于信息瓶颈的滤波器,剪枝任务无关方向以缓解语义漂移;(2) 轻量级、仅训练用的图协调器,强制层间一致性以解决结构不一致。在大语言模型、视觉-语言模型及视觉模型(包括 LLaMA、LLaVA、ViT)上的大量实验表明,StructLoRA 持续达到新基准,优于原始 LoRA 及先进动态秩分配与稀疏化方法。尤其在低秩和低数据条件下优势显著。关键在于,所提模块仅在训练阶段启用,推理时无额外开销,推动 PEFT 从单纯参数压缩转向更全面的信息质量与结构完整性优化。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has become a cornerstone of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT). Yet, its efficacy is hampered by two fundamental limitations: semantic drift, by treating all update directions with equal importance, and structural incoherence, from adapting layers independently, resulting in suboptimal, uncoordinated updates. To remedy these, we propose StructLoRA, a framework that addresses both limitations through a principled, dual-component design: (1) an Information Bottleneck-guided filter that prunes task-irrelevant directions to mitigate semantic drift, and (2) a lightweight, training-only graph-based coordinator that enforces inter-layer consistency to resolve structural incoherence. Extensive experiments across large language model , vision language model, and vision model (including LLaMA, LLaVA, and ViT) demonstrate that StructLoRA consistently establishes a new state-of-the-art, outperforming not only vanilla LoRA but also advanced dynamic rank allocation and sparsity-based methods. Notably, the benefits are particularly pronounced in challenging low-rank and low-data regimes. Crucially, since our proposed modules operate only during training, StructLoRA enhances performance with zero additional inference cost, advancing the focus of PEFT -- from mere parameter compression to a more holistic optimization of information quality and structural integrity.
