Improving LoRA with Variational Learning
Bai Cong, Nico Daheim, Yuesong Shen +3
Bayesian methods have recently been used to improve LoRA finetuning and, although they improve calibration, their effect on other metrics (such as accuracy) is marginal and can som…

Variational Learning Finds Flatter Solutions at the Edge of Stability
Avrajit Ghosh, Bai Cong, Rio Yokota +5
Variational Learning (VL) has recently gained popularity for training deep neural networks. Part of its empirical success can be explained by theories such as PAC-Bayes bounds, min…

Variational Low-Rank Adaptation Using IVON
Bai Cong, Nico Daheim, Yuesong Shen +4
We show that variational learning can significantly improve the accuracy and calibration of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) without a substantial increase in the cost. We replace AdamW…
