With the continuous development of deep learning technology, large models have achieved remarkable success in various tasks. However, the training and fine-tuning costs of large models are high, so how to fine-tune large models efficiently has become an important research issue. In recent years, researchers have proposed a series of efficient fine-tuning technologies, including Adapter Tuning, AdaMix, PET, Prefix-Tuning, Prompt Tuning, P-tuning and P-tuning, etc. This article will review these technologies and discuss their principles, applications, advantages and disadvantages.
Adapter Tuning Adapter Tuning is a lightweight fine-tuning method that adjusts the parameters of the model by adding small learnable modules (i.e. adapters) to the pre-trained model. This approach allows fine-tuning only on task-specific data without retraining the entire model. The advantage of Adapter Tuning is that it is highly computationally efficient and can quickly adapt to new tasks. However, due to the small size of the adapter, it may not be able to capture the complex features of the entire model.
AdaMix AdaMix is an adaptive learning rate fine-tuning technology that dynamically adjusts the learning rate based on the difficulty of the task. In AdaMix, each task has an independent learning rate, and the best fine-tuning effect is obtained by mixing the learning rates of different tasks. The advantage of AdaMix is that it can adaptively adjust the learning rate according to the characteristics of the task, thereby improving fine-tuning efficiency. However, the computational cost is relatively high due to the need to set independent learning rates for each task.
PET PET (Prefix-exchange Training) is a technology for fine-tuning based on pre-trained models. It adapts to new tasks by replacing certain prefix parameters in the pre-trained model. The advantage of PET is that it can utilize the existing knowledge of the pre-trained model while avoiding retraining the entire model. However, since parameters in the model need to be replaced, there may be some impact on the performance of the model.
Prefix-Tuning Prefix-Tuning is a fine-tuning method for natural language processing tasks. It adapts to new tasks by dividing the parameters of the pre-trained model into multiple prefix parts and fine-tuning each prefix part separately. The advantage of Prefix-Tuning is that it can utilize the existing knowledge of the pre-trained model while only fine-tuning specific parts, which improves computational efficiency. However, this approach may require more manual intervention to select appropriate split points and adjust strategies.
Prompt Tuning Prompt Tuning is a fine-tuning method for text classification tasks. It adapts to new tasks by adding some hint information to the input of the pre-trained model. The advantage of Prompt Tuning is that it can make use of the existing knowledge of the pre-trained model while only fine-tuning the input part, which improves computational efficiency. However, this approach may require manual design and adjustment of prompt information.
P-tuning and P-tuning P-tuning and P-tuning are two fine-tuning methods based on knowledge distillation. They adapt to new tasks by transferring knowledge from pre-trained models to smaller models. The advantage of P-tuning and P-tuning is that they can utilize the existing knowledge of the pre-trained model while avoiding the need to retrain small models. However, this approach may require more computing resources and time for the knowledge distillation process.
In summary, these efficient fine-tuning techniques are of great significance in the application of large models. They can reduce training and fine-tuning costs and improve model performance and adaptability. However, each technology has its advantages, disadvantages and applicable scenarios, so it needs to be selected and adjusted according to specific tasks and data sets in practical applications.
