Revisit Visual Prompt Tuning: The Expressiveness of Prompt Experts

ICLR 2026poster

Visual Prompt Tuning (VPT) has proven effective for parameter-efficient adaptation of pre-trained vision models to downstream tasks by inserting task-specific learnable prompt tokens. Despite its empirical success, a comprehensive theoretical understanding of VPT remains an active area of research.…

RepLoRA: Reparameterizing Low-rank Adaptation via the Perspective of Mixture of Experts

ICML 2025poster

Low-rank Adaptation (LoRA) has emerged as a powerful and efficient method for fine-tuning large-scale foundation models. Despite its popularity, the theoretical understanding of LoRA has remained underexplored. In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of LoRA by examining its connection to t…

Revisiting Prefix-tuning: Statistical Benefits of Reparameterization among Prompts

ICLR 2025poster

Prompt-based techniques, such as prompt-tuning and prefix-tuning, have gained prominence for their efficiency in fine-tuning large pre-trained models. Despite their widespread adoption, the theoretical foundations of these methods remain limited. For instance, in prefix-tuning, we observe that a key…

SConE: Simplified Cone Embeddings with Symbolic Operators for Complex Logical Queries

ACL 2023findings

Geometric representation of query embeddings (using points, particles, rectangles and cones) can effectively achieve the task of answering complex logical queries expressed in first-order logic (FOL) form over knowledge graphs, allowing intuitive encodings. However, current geometric-based methods d…
