LoRA
LoRA employs low-rank matrix adaptations, reducing trainable parameters and optimizing task adaptation in large language models. This approach minimizes storage needs and avoids inference delays. The Python package integrates with PyTorch and the Hugging Face PEFT library, ensuring competitive performance alongside full fine-tuning in benchmarks like GLUE. LoRA adapts specific Transformer elements, like query and value projections, offering flexibility across models such as RoBERTa, DeBERTa, and GPT-2. The 'loralib' can be installed to apply these techniques efficiently.
