TY - JOUR TI - LoRA: Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models AU - Hu, E. J. AU - Shen, Y. AU - Wallis, P. AU - Allen-Zhu, Z. AU - Li, Y. AU - Wang, S. AU - Wang, L. AU - Chen, W. PY - 2022 DA - 2022/// JO - ICLR 2022 AB - Hu et al. (2021, published ICLR 2022) propose Low-Rank Adaptation, a parameter-efficient fine-tuning method that inserts trainable low-rank matrix pairs into the weight updates of a frozen pretrained model, dramatically reducing the compute and storage cost of task-specific adaptation. Although the original paper targets large language models, LoRA was rapidly adopted for diffusion models and is now the dominant mechanism for character and style fine-tuning in open-source image-generation pipelines. Character LoRAs and style LoRAs are in active use across animation pre-production, making this a foundational text for understanding how generative tools are customised in practice.
