JumpLoRA: Sparse Adapters for Continual Learning in Large Language Models

Alexandra Dragomir, Ioana Pintilie, Antonio Barbalau +6

Adapter-based methods have become a cost-effective approach to continual learning (CL) for Large Language Models (LLMs), by sequentially learning a low-rank update matrix for each…

Rethinking Sparse Autoencoders: Select-and-Project for Fairness and Control from Encoder Features Alone

Antonio Bărbălau, Cristian Daniel Păduraru, Teodor Poncu +2

Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) are widely employed for mechanistic interpretability and model steering. Within this context, steering is by design performed by means of decoding altere…

Curriculum-enhanced GroupDRO: Challenging the Norm of Avoiding Curriculum Learning in Subpopulation Shift Setups

Antonio Barbalau

In subpopulation shift scenarios, a Curriculum Learning (CL) approach would only serve to imprint the model weights, early on, with the easily learnable spurious correlations featu…

A Generic and Model-Agnostic Exemplar Synthetization Framework for Explainable AI

Antonio Barbalau, Adrian Cosma, Radu Tudor Ionescu +1

With the growing complexity of deep learning methods adopted in practical applications, there is an increasing and stringent need to explain and interpret the decisions of such met…
