  • 区分核心与非核心参数,仅更新特定任务相关部分。
  • 在科学、医疗、物理任务上减少灾难性遗忘,提升适应性。
  • 适合需要保留通用能力的领域微调场景。

大语言模型在通用语言理解与生成任务中表现优异,但在特定领域微调时,预训练阶段积累的通用知识常因参数更新而部分丢失,严重削弱模型的泛化与迁移能力。传统微调策略对全部参数进行训练,忽视了参数间的异质性——部分参数对通用任务至关重要,另一些则更敏感于特定任务。为此,本文提出一种参数元素重要性评估方法,通过区分参数在通用语言任务与特定领域任务中的重要性,将参数划分为“核心参数”与“非核心参数”。微调时固定核心参数,仅优化非核心参数。在GPT-J和LLaMA-3上针对科学、医疗、物理任务的大量实验表明,该方法能有效缓解灾难性遗忘,同时增强模型适应能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated excellent performance in general language understanding, generation and other tasks. However, when fine-tuning for specific domain tasks, the general knowledge accumulated in the pre-training phase is often partially overwritten or forgotten due to parameter updates, which severely limits the generalization ability and transferability of LLMs. Traditional fine-tuning strategies mostly train on the entire parameter space, ignoring the heterogeneity of model parameters, that is, some parameters are extremely important for general tasks, while other parameters are more sensitive to specific tasks. To alleviate the above problems, this paper innovatively proposes a parameter element importance evaluation method, which divides parameters into "core parameters" and "non-core parameters" by distinguishing the importance of parameters for general language ability tasks and specific domain tasks, and fixes the core parameters during fine-tuning, and only fine-tunes the non-core parameters. Extensive experiments on scientific, medical and physical tasks using GPT-J and LLaMA-3 show that our method can mitigate catastrophic forgetting while enhancing the adaptability of the model.
