Researchers have introduced LiFT, a novel framework for fine-tuning transformer models that utilizes linear programming to control overfitting. This method formulates fine-tuning as a bilevel optimization problem, jointly updating model parameters and regularization hyperparameters. By solving a linear program, LiFT identifies a validation-aware descent direction for focused updates, reducing the need for extensive retraining. Experiments with GPT-2 Small on WikiText-2 showed LiFT effectively tunes transformer blocks and regularization parameters, improving test perplexity, especially in scenarios prone to overfitting. AI
