New research defines 'behavioral rate' for fine-tuning language models

A new research paper introduces the concept of a "behavioral rate" to quantify the information needed for fine-tuning language models. This rate measures the smallest compressed size of an adapter that retains a specific fraction of the model's fine-tuning gains. The study found that this rate is dependent on both the dataset and the base model, and that compression can surprisingly filter out noise and improve generalization, even for adapters trained on corrupted data.
