DoRA decomposes the pre-trained weight into two components, magnitude and direction, for fine-tuning, specifically employing LoRA for directional updates to efficiently minimize the number of trainable parameters. By employing DoRA, we enhance both the learning capacity and training stability of LoRA while avoiding any additional inference overhead. DoRA consistently outperforms LoRA on fine-tuning LLaMA, LLaVA, and VL-BART on various downstream tasks, such as commonsense reasoning, visual instruction tuning, and image/video-text understanding.
DoRA is now supported by the Huggingface PEFT package. You can install the PEFT package using
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/peft.git -q
After PEFT is installed, you can simply set the use_dora
argument of LoraConfig()
to True
for applying DoRA.
An example could be as follows:
from peft import LoraConfig
# Initialize DoRA configuration
config = (
use_dora=True, ...
)
Please refer to the official documentation for more details.
Note
๐ก While fine-tuning with DoRA, by utilizing the configuration of LoRA can already achieve better results most of the time, achieving optimal performance compared to LoRA still requires adjustments to the hyperparameters.
We suggest starting with a slightly lower learning rate than that of LoRA, and users may also experiment with varying lora dropout ratios.
User may also start with half of the rank of the LoRA configuration which oftentime can already results in comparable or even superior accuracy compared to that of LoRA.
