State-of-the-art Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods

Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods enable efficient adaptation of pre-trained language models (PLMs) to various downstream applications without fine-tuning all the model's parameters. Fine-tuning large-scale PLMs is often prohibitively costly. In this regard, PEFT methods only fine-tune a small number of (extra) model parameters, thereby greatly decreasing the computational and storage costs. Recent State-of-the-Art PEFT techniques achieve performance comparable to that of full fine-tuning.

Seamlessly integrated with 🤗 Accelerate for large scale models leveraging DeepSpeed and Big Model Inference.

Supported methods:

1. LoRA: LORA: LOW-RANK ADAPTATION OF LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS
2. Prefix Tuning: Prefix-Tuning: Optimizing Continuous Prompts for Generation, P-Tuning v2: Prompt Tuning Can Be Comparable to Fine-tuning Universally Across Scales and Tasks
3. P-Tuning: GPT Understands, Too
4. Prompt Tuning: The Power of Scale for Parameter-Efficient Prompt Tuning
5. AdaLoRA: Adaptive Budget Allocation for Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning

Getting started

from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
from peft import get_peft_config, get_peft_model, LoraConfig, TaskType
model_name_or_path = "bigscience/mt0-large"
tokenizer_name_or_path = "bigscience/mt0-large"

peft_config = LoraConfig(
    task_type=TaskType.SEQ_2_SEQ_LM, inference_mode=False, r=8, lora_alpha=32, lora_dropout=0.1
)

model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = get_peft_model(model, peft_config)
model.print_trainable_parameters()
# output: trainable params: 2359296 || all params: 1231940608 || trainable%: 0.19151053100118282

Use Cases

Get comparable performance to full finetuning by adapting LLMs to downstream tasks using consumer hardware

GPU memory required for adapting LLMs on the few-shot dataset ought/raft/twitter_complaints. Here, settings considered are full finetuning, PEFT-LoRA using plain PyTorch and PEFT-LoRA using DeepSpeed with CPU Offloading.

Hardware: Single A100 80GB GPU with CPU RAM above 64GB

Model	Full Finetuning	PEFT-LoRA PyTorch	PEFT-LoRA DeepSpeed with CPU Offloading
bigscience/T0_3B (3B params)	47.14GB GPU / 2.96GB CPU	14.4GB GPU / 2.96GB CPU	9.8GB GPU / 17.8GB CPU
bigscience/mt0-xxl (12B params)	OOM GPU	56GB GPU / 3GB CPU	22GB GPU / 52GB CPU
bigscience/bloomz-7b1 (7B params)	OOM GPU	32GB GPU / 3.8GB CPU	18.1GB GPU / 35GB CPU

Performance of PEFT-LoRA tuned bigscience/T0_3B on ought/raft/twitter_complaints leaderboard. A point to note is that we didn't try to squeeze performance by playing around with input instruction templates, LoRA hyperparams and other training related hyperparams. Also, we didn't use the larger 13B mt0-xxl model. So, we are already seeing comparable performance to SoTA with parameter efficient tuning. Also, the final checkpoint size is just 19MB in comparison to 11GB size of the backbone bigscience/T0_3B model.

Submission Name	Accuracy
Human baseline (crowdsourced)	0.897
Flan-T5	0.892
lora-t0-3b	0.863

Therefore, we can see that performance comparable to SoTA is achievable by PEFT methods with consumer hardware such as 16GB and 24GB GPUs.

Save compute and storage even for medium and small models

Save storage by avoiding full finetuning of models on each of the downstream tasks/datasets, With PEFT methods, users only need to store tiny checkpoints in the order of MBs all the while retaining performance comparable to full finetuning.

An example of using LoRA for the task of adapting LayoutLMForTokenClassification on FUNSD dataset is given in ~examples/token_classification/PEFT_LoRA_LayoutLMForTokenClassification_on_FUNSD.py. We can observe that with only 0.62 % of parameters being trainable, we achieve performance (F1 0.777) comparable to full finetuning (F1 0.786) (without any hyerparam tuning runs for extracting more performance), and the checkpoint of this is only 2.8MB. Now, if there are N such datasets, just have these PEFT models one for each dataset and save a lot of storage without having to worry about the problem of catastrophic forgetting or overfitting of backbone/base model.

Another example is fine-tuning roberta-large on MRPC GLUE dataset using different PEFT methods. The notebooks are given in ~examples/sequence_classification.

Caveats:

1. Below is an example of using PyTorch FSDP for training. However, it doesn't lead to any GPU memory savings. Please refer issue [FSDP] FSDP with CPU offload consumes 1.65X more GPU memory when training models with most of the params frozen.

from peft.utils.other import fsdp_auto_wrap_policy

...

if os.environ.get("ACCELERATE_USE_FSDP", None) is not None:
    accelerator.state.fsdp_plugin.auto_wrap_policy = fsdp_auto_wrap_policy(model)

model = accelerator.prepare(model)

Example of parameter efficient tuning with mt0-xxl base model using 🤗 Accelerate is provided in ~examples/conditional_generation/peft_lora_seq2seq_accelerate_fsdp.py. a.

b. run the below command to launch the example script

accelerate launch --config_file fsdp_config.yaml examples/peft_lora_seq2seq_accelerate_fsdp.py

2. When using P_TUNING or PROMPT_TUNING with SEQ_2_SEQ task, remember to remove the num_virtual_token virtual prompt predictions from the left side of the model outputs during evaluations.

3. For encoder-decoder models, P_TUNING or PROMPT_TUNING doesn't support generate functionality of transformers because generate strictly requires decoder_input_ids but P_TUNING/PROMPT_TUNING appends soft prompt embeddings to input_embeds to create new input_embeds to be given to the model. Therefore, generate doesn't support this yet.

4. When using ZeRO3 with zero3_init_flag=True, if you find the gpu memory increase with training steps. we might need to set zero3_init_flag=false in accelerate config.yaml. The related issue is [BUG] memory leak under zero.Init

Backlog:

• Add tests
• Multi Adapter training and inference support
• Add more use cases and examples
• Explore and possibly integrate Bottleneck Adapters, (IA)^3, AdaptionPrompt ...
