5 Fine Tuning Terms

Adapter Layer
A small trainable module inserted into a larger pre-trained model for parameter-efficient adaptation. It influences how models are trained, evaluated, or...
LoRA
Low-Rank Adaptation — a parameter-efficient fine-tuning technique that freezes the pre-trained model weights and injects small trainable matrices (adapters)...
Low-Rank Adaptation
A parameter-efficient fine-tuning method, commonly known as LoRA, that updates low-rank matrices instead of all model weights. Low-rank adaptation makes it...
Merging Models
Combining the weights or learned deltas of multiple models into a new model, usually to blend capabilities without full retraining.
Parameter Efficient
Describing methods that achieve adaptation or performance gains while changing only a small subset of parameters instead of retraining or updating an entire...
