The paper investigates the application of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods to Deep State Space Models (SSMs), specifically Mamba models. It evaluates existing PEFT methods on SSM-based models and identifies LoRA as a consistently high-performing method. However, LoRA is ineffective for SSM modules, highlighting the need for a specialized tuning approach. The authors propose Sparse Dimension Tuning (SDT) for SSMs, which combines with LoRA for linear projection matrices to achieve state-of-the-art performance.

Deep State Space Models are powerful tools for language modeling that offer high performance and scalability. But what happens when you try to fine-tune these models? The paper looks at how different methods work on these models and finds that one method, LoRA, is especially good. However, it’s not perfect and actually doesn’t work well with certain parts of the model. To fix this, the authors come up with a new way to tune the model called SDT. When they use SDT together with LoRA, they get amazing results.
