XGBoost is a highly effective and scalable machine learning algorithm widely employed for regression, classification, and ranking tasks. Building on the principles of gradient boosting, it combines the predictions of multiple weak learners, typically decision trees, to produce a robust overall model. XGBoost excels with large datasets and complex data structures, thanks to its efficient…

Introducing DoRA, a High-Performing Alternative to LoRA for Fine-Tuning

Full fine-tuning (FT) is commonly employed to tailor general pretrained models for specific downstream tasks. To reduce the training cost, parameter-efficient…

Full fine-tuning (FT) is commonly employed to tailor general pretrained models for specific downstream tasks. To reduce the training cost, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods have been introduced to fine-tune pretrained models with a minimal number of parameters. Among these, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and its variants have gained considerable popularity because they avoid additional…
