Tensor adapters offer finer PEFT budget control than LoRA

Researchers have explored the use of tensorized adapters, specifically canonical polyadic (CP) tensor adapters, as an alternative to traditional low-rank adapters (LoRA) in parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT). By using finer capacity increments, CP adapters store significantly fewer trainable scalars per component compared to LoRA ranks, allowing for more granular control over the parameter budget. While CP adapters train stably and fill the gaps between LoRA ranks, their effectiveness varies by task, with some tasks showing early plateaus and others benefiting from additional components before saturation.

    Finer Parameter Steps for Low-Rank PEFT: A Controlled Study with CP Tensor Adapters

    arXiv:2606.00428v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-rank adapters are usually compared by sweeping a small set of ranks, but the rank also fixes the resolution of the parameter budget. For a $2048{\times}2048$ OPT attention projection, increasing LoRA by one rank stores $4096$ …
