ZoAQ: Adaptive Zeroth-Order Querying via Query-Reuse Coupling
Yangyang Feng, Yao Shu
Zeroth-order optimization (ZOO) estimates updates from function evaluations, making perturbation queries a primary cost. Fixed budgets spend the same number of queries at every ste…
AR1-ZO: Topology-Aware Rank-1 Zeroth-Order Queries for High-Rank LoRA Fine-Tuning
Ziye Chen, Hongbin Lin, Chenyu Zhang +3
Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization enables large-language-model fine-tuning without storing backpropagation activations, while LoRA supplies compact trainable adapters. Combining them…
Controllable Concept Bottleneck Models
Hongbin Lin, Chenyang Ren, Juangui Xu +7
Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have garnered much attention for their ability to elucidate the prediction process through a human-understandable concept layer. However, most prev…
Zeroth-Order Optimization is Secretly Single-Step Policy Optimization
Junbin Qiu, Zhengpeng Xie, Xiangda Yan +2
Zeroth-Order Optimization (ZOO) provides powerful tools for optimizing functions where explicit gradients are unavailable or expensive to compute. However, the underlying mechanism…
