The proposed CoRA method optimizes Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) training by leveraging shared knowledge from large language models (LLMs). By freezing the substitute matrix B and halving parameters, CoRA achieves the same efficacy as original LoRA fine-tuning while being more efficient. Additionally, using the substitute matrix B as an enhanced initial state for the original matrix B leads to improved results with the same parameters.

CoRA is a new way to make large language models work better without needing as much computer power. It does this by sharing knowledge between different parts of the model. The CoRA method has two steps: first, it freezes some parts of the model so that they don’t change during training, which saves time and energy. Then, it uses the frozen parts to help train the rest of the model, making it work even better.
