Research quantifies LoRA adapter data storage and privacy leakage

A new research paper investigates the data storage capacity of LoRA adapters, a parameter-efficient fine-tuning method. The study quantifies in bits how much information these adapters store, finding it to be significantly less than full fine-tuning and dependent on the adapter's placement within the model architecture. When applied to Qwen2.5, the research revealed that privacy leakage correlates with the bits stored rather than the number of parameters, distinguishing between supervised fine-tuning's verbatim copying and reinforcement learning's reward-based recording.
