Brief description:
AdaMSS is an adaptive multi-subspace approach for parameter-efficient fine-tuning. It models incremental updates with multiple subspaces, improving the expressiveness-efficiency trade-off when adapting large pretrained models while keeping the base weights frozen.
Highlights:
- Multi-subspace-based incremental update for parameter-efficient adaptation.
- Designed to capture richer update structures than single low-rank adaptation under a compact parameter budget.
- Accepted at NeurIPS 2025 and integrated into the Hugging Face PEFT package.
