The paper introduces Dimension-Sharding Adaptation (DiSHA), a technique that expands the Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) framework to reduce computational burden and enable resource-constrained fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs). DiSHA includes Block Affine Efficient Computation (Bone) and Block Affine Transformation (Bat) to induce nonlinearity in matrix updates without adding parameters. The authors show that Bone outperforms LoRA variants in Natural Language Understanding and Generation tasks, with improved computational efficiency.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper makes large language models more efficient and adaptable for new tasks. It creates a new way of fine-tuning these models called Dimension-Sharding Adaptation (DiSHA). This approach reduces the amount of calculations needed to update the model’s weights. The authors also introduce two new techniques, Block Affine Efficient Computation (Bone) and Block Affine Transformation (Bat), which help the model learn more efficiently. These innovations lead to better performance on natural language tasks like understanding and generating text.
