🧬 Advanced Fine-Tuning Methods

Overview

This folder demonstrates Multi-LoRA and LoRA Composition techniques - allowing AI models to maintain multiple expertises simultaneously without forgetting previous knowledge.

What is Multi-LoRA?

Key Concept: Multiple specialized "brain compartments" that can work separately or together, eliminating catastrophic forgetting.

Traditional vs Multi-LoRA Approach

Traditional Single LoRA (Forgetting Problem):
┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐

                       └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘

Multi-LoRA (No Forgetting):

  • Dynamic adapter switching and combination
  • Intelligent task detection and routing
  • Adapter merging strategies

Expected Results:

  • Training time: 45-60 minutes for all adapters
  • Memory usage: 8-12GB VRAM
  • Multi-domain accuracy: 85-92%
  • Zero catastrophic forgetting

Difficulty: Advanced

Core Multi-LoRA Techniques

1. Multiple Adapter Training

Training Process (Base Model Always Frozen):

┌─────────────┐   ┌──────────────────┐   ┌─────────────┐
│ Base Model  │ + │ Math Data        │ = │ Math LoRA   │
│ (Frozen)    │   │ Code Data        │   │ Code LoRA   │
│             │   │ QA Data          │   │ QA LoRA     │
└─────────────┘   └──────────────────┘   └─────────────┘

Result: Multiple specialized adapters, no forgetting

2. Intelligent Adapter Switching

Automatic Task Detection:

Input: "Solve x² + 5x + 6 = 0"

│ QA: 5%          │    │                 │
└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘

3. Multi-Domain Combination

Complex Query: "Write Python code to solve quadratic equations"

Skill Analysis:       Weighted Combination:

│ Math: 40%       │──▶│ Math LoRA (40%) │
│ QA: 10%         │   │ QA LoRA (10%)   │
└─────────────────┘   └─────────────────┘
