Multilink transformable rotorcraft demonstrate exceptional flexibility when navigating confined spaces, yet face critical challenges including time-varying center of gravity, body misalignment, and the absence of a unified control strategy during dynamic reconfiguration, which severely restrict moti…
Finetuning large language models (LLMs) is a resource-intensive task for researchers in academia, with memory constraints posing a key bottleneck. A classic optimization method, block coordinate descent (BCD), significantly reduces memory cost by segmenting the trainable parameters into multiple blo…
Training language models on long sequence data is a demanding requirement for enhancing the model's capability on complex tasks, e.g., long-chain reasoning. However, as the sequence length scales up, the memory cost for storing activation values becomes huge during the Backpropagation (BP) process,…
This work presents BAdam, an optimization method that leverages the block coordinate descent (BCD) framework with Adam's update rule. BAdam offers a memory efficient approach to the full parameter finetuning of large language models. We conduct a theoretical convergence analysis for BAdam in the…
