DiffLoRA: Differential Low-Rank Adapters for Large Language Models

Alexandre Misrahi, Nadezhda Chirkova, Maxime Louis +1

Differential Transformer has recently been proposed to improve performance in Transformer models by canceling out noise through a denoiser attention mechanism. In this work, we int…

Adapting Large Language Models for Multi-Domain Retrieval-Augmented-Generation

Alexandre Misrahi, Nadezhda Chirkova, Maxime Louis +1

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances LLM factuality, but multi-domain applications face challenges like lack of diverse benchmarks and poor out-of-domain generalization. T…

Zero-shot cross-lingual transfer in instruction tuning of large language models

Nadezhda Chirkova, Vassilina Nikoulina

Instruction tuning (IT) is widely used to teach pretrained large language models (LLMs) to follow arbitrary instructions, but is under-studied in multilingual settings. In this wor…
