A new research paper proposes an initialization technique called initAA to improve the stability and performance of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) in large language models. LoRA is known for its sensitivity to learning rate choices, and while LoRA+ introduced asymmetric learning rates, it can lead to unstable training. The proposed initAA method addresses this by scaling the variance of the down-projection matrix A, which significantly widens the stable learning rate region and prevents performance collapse observed with standard initialization.
