为LoRA设计自适应秩分配,压缩参数量75%-90%且不损失性能
Post-Optimization Adaptive Rank Allocation for LoRA

- 通过奇异值分解全局阈值剪枝,按层谱重要性非均匀分配秩
- 在多视觉与语言任务上压缩75%-90%参数,性能几乎不变
- 无需训练修改,可无缝集成到现有微调流程中
现代基础模型规模的指数级增长推动了低秩适配(LoRA)作为高效微调技术的广泛应用。然而,标准LoRA忽略各层固有维度差异,强制统一秩,导致参数冗余。我们提出后优化自适应秩分配(PARA),一种无需数据的LoRA压缩方法,可无缝集成至现有微调流程。PARA利用奇异值分解,基于跨所有层的全局奇异值阈值对LoRA秩进行剪枝,实现基于层间谱重要性的非均匀秩分配。作为后处理方法,PARA避免了动态架构带来的训练修改与稳定性问题。实验表明,PARA在多个视觉与语言基准上将参数量减少75%-90%,同时保持原始未压缩LoRA的预测性能。代码将在接受后发布。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Exponential growth in the scale of modern foundation models has led to the widespread adoption of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) as a parameter-efficient fine-tuning technique. However, standard LoRA implementations disregard the varying intrinsic dimensionality of model layers and enforce a uniform rank, leading to parameter redundancy. We propose Post-Optimization Adaptive Rank Allocation (PARA), a data-free compression method for LoRA that integrates seamlessly into existing fine-tuning pipelines. PARA leverages Singular Value Decomposition to prune LoRA ranks using a global threshold over singular values across all layers. This results in non-uniform rank allocation based on layer-wise spectral importance. As a post-hoc method, PARA circumvents the training modifications and resulting instabilities that dynamic architectures typically incur. We empirically demonstrate that PARA reduces parameter count by 75-90\% while preserving the predictive performance of the original, uncompressed LoRA across multiple vision and language benchmarks. Code will be published upon acceptance.
