New SSM adapters outperform LoRA for long-context fine-tuning

Researchers have developed a new parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method called Hankel Reduced order Model (HRM) adapters, which utilize state space models (SSMs) for long-context fine-tuning. Unlike traditional PEFT methods that focus on attention mechanisms, HRM adapters are designed to be injected into MLP blocks and leverage the time-invariance of SSMs for efficient computation. In evaluations using Mistral-7B on long-context tasks like LongBench, HRM adapters demonstrated superior performance compared to LoRA variants, achieving significant accuracy and ROUGE-1 score improvements.

    SSM Adapters via Hankel Reduced-order Modeling: Injection Site Determines Task Suitability in Long-Context Fine-Tuning

    arXiv:2606.26290v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) typically targets attention projectors, its efficacy for tasks requiring sequential state accumulation remains under-explored. We examine if PEFT for such tasks can benefit from state s…
