Two-Stage Regularization-Based Structured Pruning for LLMs (2026.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Structural pruning is a promising solution for large language models . prior structured pruning methods remove unimportant parameters based on certain metrics .
Approach: They propose a structural pruning method that iteratively learns the weights of transformer layers by adding their l1-norm to the loss function.
Outcome: The proposed pruning method outperforms strong layer-wise pruning methods without requiring retraining.
FARSS: Fisher-Optimized Adaptive Low-Rank and Singular-Vector Selection for Knowledge-Preserving Fine-Tuning (2026.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Low-rank adaptation methods for large language models have limitations in preserving world knowledge and limiting updates to preserve world knowledge.
Approach: They propose a Fisher-optimized adaptive low Rank and Singular-VectorSelection framework for knowledge-preserving fine-tuning that allows efficient and task-sensitive updates.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms existing methods for knowledge-preserving fine-tuning.
