BEFT demonstrates that fine-tuning the added bias terms of value projections from pretrained transformers generally leads to a higher downstream performance in low-data regimes than fine-tuning the added bias terms of query/key projections.</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-1cwa87l">BEFT currently has the following tradeoffs:</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-nbbe2">Pros:</p> <ul data-svelte-h="svelte-tbuek5"><li>BEFT requires far fewer parameters than LoRA, while maintaining competitive or superior performance across tasks in low-data regimes.</li></ul> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-domxx">Cons:</p> <ul data-svelte-h="svelte-1yqqe77"><li>In high-data regimes, BEFT may show limited effectiveness compared to LoRA and full-parameters fine-tuning.</li></ul> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-11wyhay">If your use case belongs to the high-data regime, consider other PEFT methods such as LoRA.</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-1cwsb16">The abstract from the paper is:</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-skiy9o"><em>Fine-tuning the bias terms of large language models (LLMs) has the potential to achieve unprecedented parameter efficiency while maintaining competitive performance, particularly in low-data regimes. However, the link between fine-tuning different bias terms (i.e., <strong>b</strong><sub>q</sub>, <strong>b</strong><sub>k</sub>, and <strong>b</strong><sub>v</sub> in the query, key, or value projections) and downstream performance remains largely unclear to date. In this paper, we investigate the link between fine-tuning <strong>b</strong><sub>q</sub>, <strong>b</strong><sub>k</sub>, and <strong>b</strong><sub>v</sub> with the performance of the downstream task. Our key finding is that directly fine-tuning <strong>b</strong><sub>v</sub> generally leads to higher downstream performance in low-data regimes, in comparison to <strong>b</strong><sub>q</sub> and <strong>b</strong><sub>k</sub>. We extensively evaluate this unique property across a wide range of LLMs spanning encoder-only and decoder-only architectures up to 6.7B parameters (including bias-free LLMs). Our results provide strong evidence for the effectiveness of directly fine-tuning <strong>b</strong><sub>v</sub> across various downstream tasks</em>.</p>  <h2 class="relative group"><a
