PAD-Net: An Efficient Framework for Dynamic Networks (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Dynamic networks can significantly improve the model’s representation power with acceptable computational cost. |
| Approach: | They propose a partially dynamic network to transform redundant dynamic parameters into static ones and iterative mode partition to partition dynamic and static parameters efficiently. |
| Outcome: | The proposed network surpasses fully dynamic networks by +0.7% top-1 acc with only 30% dynamic parameters for DY-Conv and +1.9% average score in language understanding with only 50% dynamic parameters. |
SparseAdapter: An Easy Approach for Improving the Parameter-Efficiency of Adapters (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pretrain-finetuned models are increasingly complex and require more parameters to match the performance of full fine-tuning. |
| Approach: | They propose an efficient Adapter Tuning technique that freezes pretrained language models and fine-tunes a few extra modules. |
| Outcome: | The proposed setting outperforms the standard Adapter Tuning by 80% . the proposed setting is easy to use and has a high sparse ratio . |
Dynamic Data Mixing Maximizes Instruction Tuning for Mixture-of-Experts (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models are constrained by their fixed model capacities when the number of tasks grows in instruction tuning. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine all training tasks and apply fixed sampling weights without considering the importance of different tasks as the model training state changes. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be used on knowledge & reasoning tasks and open-ended queries with limited training budget. |
LLaMA-MoE: Building Mixture-of-Experts from LLaMA with Continual Pre-Training (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has gained increasing popularity as a framework for scaling up large language models. |
| Approach: | They investigate how to build Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models from existing large language models . they use expert construction, Continual pre-training and data sampling strategies . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models with similar parameters on a wide range of tasks. |
