根据参数几何变化动态选择训练组,提升微调效率与泛化能力
Fisher-Guided Progressive Parameter Selection for Adaptive Fine-Tuning

- 基于费雪信息的几何漂移追踪,逐步筛选需更新的参数组
- 在分割任务上实现更高准确率与零样本迁移性能
- 适合追求高效微调的模型优化研究者使用
参数高效微调(PEFT)旨在用少量可训练参数适配预训练模型,但现有方法多依赖固定架构启发式选择参数子集。本文提出FisherAdapTune框架,通过追踪参数组费雪几何的时序漂移,实现渐进式参数组选择。从泛化误差的PAC-Bayesian视角出发,将误差界分解为费雪加权更新代价,证明当某参数组曲率贡献趋于稳定时可冻结,从而降低误差界而不干扰剩余适应过程。该准则采用连续费雪分布间的尺度不变詹森-香农距离构建,形成自适应活跃参数集。在下游分割任务上的实验表明,FisherAdapTune在多种设置下均提升了分布内性能与零样本迁移能力,验证了费雪结构漂移作为高效、任务感知适配信号的有效性。代码已公开于GitHub。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) aims to adapt pretrained models with a small trainable parameter subset, however, most existing methods choose this subset from fixed architectural heuristics rather than using dynamic, task-aware criteria. We introduce \textbf{FisherAdapTune}, a Fisher-guided Adaptive Fine-Tuning framework that progressively selects parameter groups by tracking the temporal drift of their Fisher geometry. Starting from a PAC-Bayesian view of fine-tuning, we decompose the generalization error bound into Fisher-weighted update costs and show that parameter groups whose curvature contribution has stabilized can be frozen to reduce the error bound without interrupting the remaining adaptation dynamics. FisherAdapTune formulates this criterion with a scale-invariant Jensen-Shannon distance between consecutive Fisher distributions, yielding an adaptive active parameter set. We evaluate our approach on a downstream segmentation task, and results show FisherAdapTune improves the in-distribution performance and zero-shot transfer in multiple settings, validating that Fisher structural drift is a useful signal for efficient, task-aware adaptation. We release our \href{https://github.com/AtlasAnalyticsLab/FisherAdapTune}{code} publicly to enable further application of our proposed approach.
