MoDE: Effective Multi-task Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning with a Mixture of Dyadic Experts

NAACL 2025findings

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning techniques like Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) have revolutionized the adaptation of large language models (LLMs) to diverse tasks. Recent efforts have explored mixtures of LoRA modules for multi-task settings. However, our analysis reveals redundancy in the down-projecti…

RLPF: Reinforcement Learning from Prediction Feedback for User Summarization with LLMs

AAAI 2025technical

LLM-powered personalization agent systems employ Large Language Models (LLMs) to predict users’ behavior from their past activities. However, their effectiveness often hinges on the ability to effectively leverage extensive, long user historical data due to its inherent noise and length of such data…

What Do We Mean by Generalization in Federated Learning?

ICLR 2022poster

Federated learning data is drawn from a distribution of distributions: clients are drawn from a meta-distribution, and their data are drawn from local data distributions. Generalization studies in federated learning should separate performance gaps from unseen client data (out-of-sample gap) from pe…

Simple Augmentation Goes a Long Way: ADRL for DNN Quantization

ICLR 2021poster

Mixed precision quantization improves DNN performance by assigning different layers with different bit-width values. Searching for the optimal bit-width for each layer, however, remains a challenge. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) shows some recent promise. It however suffers instability due to fu…
