Reddit user seeks EMA on LoRA adapter applications

A user on the r/MachineLearning subreddit is seeking information about the successful application of Exponential Moving Average (EMA) techniques specifically with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapters. They are interested in scenarios where the EMA adapter functions as a self-teacher, generating soft labels for the trainable adapter. The user references a paper on on-policy self-distillation that uses EMA for the teacher but involves full fine-tuning, and is looking for empirical results demonstrating this concept working with LoRA or similar parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods.
