Sommario:
- Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is a widely adopted technique for parameter-efficient fine-tuning, but its slow convergence has spurred the development of numerous variants. Nevertheless, existing methods often fail to improve performance, memory footprint, and computational efficiency simultaneously. To address this challenge, we revisit the causes of LoRA's slow convergence. Building on these insights, we propose Matrix Shard Sharing (MiSS), which updates shards of the original weight matrix using a single shared trainable matrix $\boldsymbol{D}$, initialized to zeros. To simultaneously ensure computational efficiency, low memory footprint, and scalable serving, we introduce MiSS$^e$. Both theoretical analysis and empirical results demonstrate that our method reduces optimization complexity without compromising performance, thereby achieving a more favorable trade-off among performance, memory, and efficiency. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of various PEFT methods, evaluating their memory usage, initialization overhead, and computational efficiency. By mapping the Pareto frontier across these dimensions, we show that MiSS occupies a favorable position, effectively capturing the advantages of prior approaches.
