Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT)

What is Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT)?

Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) is a set of techniques for adapting large pre-trained models to new tasks without fine-tuning all the model's parameters. Instead, a small number of new parameters are added to the model and trained, or a small subset of the existing parameters are trained.

Where did the term "Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT)" come from?

A collection of techniques for efficiently fine-tuning large models.

How is "Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT)" used today?

Essential for making the fine-tuning of large models accessible to a wider audience.
