Slide 1: Understanding LoRA Architecture
Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) revolutionizes LLM fine-tuning by introducing two matrices A ∈ ℝ^(r×d) and B ∈ ℝ^(d×r) where r << d, significantly reducing trainable parameters while maintaining model performance through low-rank decomposition of weight updates.
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
class LoRALayer(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, in_features, out_features, rank=4):
super().__init__()
self.lora_A = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(rank, in_features))
self.lora_B = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(out_features, rank))
self.scaling = 0.01
self.reset_parameters()
def reset_parameters(self):
nn.init.kaiming_uniform_(self.lora_A, a=math.sqrt(5))
nn.init.zeros_(self.lora_B)
def forward(self, x):
# Original weight matrix W remains frozen
# Only update LoRA matrices: W + BA
return x @ self.lora_A.T @ self.lora_B.T * self.scalingSlide 2: LoRA Implementation Example
Let's implement a practical example of LoRA by fine-tuning a pre-trained transformer layer, demonstrating how to integrate LoRA modules into existing neural network architectures.
class LoRATransformerLayer(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, hidden_size, num_heads, rank=8):
super().__init__()
self.attention = nn.MultiheadAttention(hidden_size, num_heads)
self.lora_q = LoRALayer(hidden_size, hidden_size, rank)
self.lora_k = LoRALayer(hidden_size, hidden_size, rank)
self.lora_v = LoRALayer(hidden_size, hidden_size, rank)
def forward(self, x):
# Apply LoRA to attention computations
q = self.attention.q_proj(x) + self.lora_q(x)
k = self.attention.k_proj(x) + self.lora_k(x)
v = self.attention.v_proj(x) + self.lora_v(x)
return self.attention._forward_impl(q, k, v)Slide 3: LoRA-FA Optimization
LoRA-FA optimizes memory usage by freezing matrix A and only updating matrix B during training, reducing activation memory requirements while maintaining adaptation capabilities for downstream tasks.
class LoRAFALayer(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, in_features, out_features, rank=4):
super().__init__()
# Initialize and freeze matrix A
self.lora_A = nn.Parameter(
torch.randn(rank, in_features) / np.sqrt(rank),
requires_grad=False
)
# Only matrix B is trainable
self.lora_B = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(out_features, rank))
self.scaling = 0.01
def forward(self, x):
return x @ self.lora_A.T @ self.lora_B.T * self.scalingSlide 4: VeRA Implementation
VeRA's innovative approach uses shared, frozen random matrices across layers while introducing trainable scaling vectors b and d, drastically reducing parameter count compared to traditional LoRA implementations.
class VeRALayer(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, in_features, out_features, rank=4):
super().__init__()
# Frozen random matrices
self.vera_A = nn.Parameter(
torch.randn(rank, in_features), requires_grad=False)
self.vera_B = nn.Parameter(
torch.randn(out_features, rank), requires_grad=False)
# Trainable scaling vectors
self.scale_b = nn.Parameter(torch.ones(rank))
self.scale_d = nn.Parameter(torch.ones(out_features))
def forward(self, x):
# Apply scaling vectors to frozen matrices
scaled_A = self.vera_A * self.scale_b.unsqueeze(1)
scaled_B = self.vera_B * self.scale_d.unsqueeze(1)
return x @ scaled_A.T @ scaled_B.TSlide 5: Delta-LoRA Architecture
Delta-LoRA enhances traditional LoRA by incorporating weight matrix updates based on the differences between consecutive training steps of low-rank matrix products, enabling more effective parameter adaptation.
class DeltaLoRALayer(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, in_features, out_features, rank=4):
super().__init__()
self.base_weight = nn.Parameter(
torch.randn(out_features, in_features))
self.lora_A = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(rank, in_features))
self.lora_B = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(out_features, rank))
self.prev_AB = None
self.scaling = 0.01
def forward(self, x):
current_AB = self.lora_B @ self.lora_A
if self.prev_AB is not None:
# Update weights using delta
delta = current_AB - self.prev_AB
self.base_weight.data += delta * self.scaling
self.prev_AB = current_AB.detach()
return x @ (self.base_weight + current_AB * self.scaling).TSlide 6: LoRA+ Implementation
LoRA+ enhances the original LoRA by implementing different learning rates for matrices A and B, with matrix B receiving a higher learning rate for optimal convergence during the training process.
class LoraPlusLayer(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, in_features, out_features, rank=4):
super().__init__()
self.lora_A = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(rank, in_features))
self.lora_B = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros(out_features, rank))
self.lr_A = 0.01 # Lower learning rate for A
self.lr_B = 0.1 # Higher learning rate for B
self.reset_parameters()
def reset_parameters(self):
nn.init.kaiming_uniform_(self.lora_A)
nn.init.zeros_(self.lora_B)
def forward(self, x):
# Apply different learning rates during optimization
with torch.no_grad():
self.lora_A.grad *= self.lr_A
self.lora_B.grad *= self.lr_B
