- 按任务兼容性自动分组并排序,构建独立优化路径。

- 适合需要高效适配多种任务的LLM应用者。
参数高效微调(PEFT)通常使用单一共享低秩适配器(LoRA)来调整大语言模型。当处理异构任务序列时,共享优化空间常因干扰导致迁移效果差和灾难性遗忘。现有方法主要通过增加参数容量或组合多个适配器来提升表达能力,但仍依赖共享优化路径。本文提出一种优化路径组织框架,实现自动化多策略PEFT架构。具体而言,在固定参数预算下,通过任务分组与排序自动组织优化兼容的适配路径。这些路径以独立量化低秩适配器(QLoRA)实现,使异构任务在解耦适配空间中优化,同时保留兼容任务间的正向迁移。在TRACE基准测试中,从传统单策略PEFT到多策略PEFT性能持续提升,所提自动多策略框架在相同可训练参数容量下达到最优性能44.78。结果表明,优化路径组织比单纯增加适配器容量更有效于异构参数高效微调。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) commonly adapts large language models using a single shared Low-Rank Adapter (LoRA). This shared optimization space often suffers from interference when adapting heterogeneous task sequences, leading to poor transfer and catastrophic forgetting. Existing approaches mainly improve adapter expressiveness by increasing parameter capacity or composing multiple adapters, yet they still rely on a shared optimization path. In this paper, we propose an optimization-path organization framework for parameter-efficient fine-tuning of large language models, implemented as an automatic multi-policy PEFT architecture. Specifically, optimization-compatible adaptation paths are automatically organized through task grouping and task sequencing under a fixed parameter budget. The organized optimization paths are implemented as independent Quantized Low-Rank Adapters (QLoRA), enabling heterogeneous tasks to be optimized in decoupled adaptation spaces while preserving positive transfer among compatible tasks. Experiments on the TRACE benchmark demonstrate that performance consistently improves from conventional single-policy PEFT to multi-policy PEFT, with the proposed automatic multi-policy framework achieving the best performance of 44.78 under the same trainable capacity. This suggests that optimization-path organization is more effective than simply increasing adapter capacity for heterogeneous parameter-efficient fine-tuning.
