Highlights §
- LoRA proposes to freeze pre-trained model weights and inject trainable layers (rank-decomposition matrices) in each transformer block. This greatly reduces the number of trainable parameters and GPU memory requirements since gradients don’t need to be computed for most model weights. (View Highlight)
- The researchers found that by focusing on the Transformer attention blocks of large-language models, fine-tuning quality with LoRA was on par with full model fine-tuning while being much faster and requiring less compute. (View Highlight)
- In the case of Stable Diffusion fine-tuning, LoRA can be applied to the cross-attention layers that relate the image representations with the prompts that describe them. (View Highlight)
