New Hybrid Fine-Tuning Paradigm for LLMs: Algorithm Design and Convergence Analysis Framework

Shaocong Ma, Peiran Yu, Heng Huang

Fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) typically involves either full fine-tuning, which updates all model parameters, or Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT), which adjusts a…
