Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

DECT NR+: A technical dive into non-cellular 5G
This seems to be an order of magnitude better than LoRa (https://lora-alliance.org/ not https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685). LoRa doesn't have all the features this one does like OFDM, TDM, FDM, and HARQ. I didn't know there's spectrum dedicated for DECT use.

Training LLMs Taking Too Much Time? Technique you need to know to train it faster
So to solve this, we tried researching into some optimization techniques and we found LoRA, Which stands for Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models.

OpenAI employee: GPT-4.5 rumor was a hallucination
> Anyone have any ideas / knowledge on how they deploy little incremental fixes to exploited jailbreaks, etc?
LoRa[1] would be my guess.
For detailed explanation I recommend the paper. But the short explanation is that it is a trick which lets you train a smaller, lower dimensional model which when you add to the original model it gets you the result you want.

Can a LoRa be used on models other than Stable Diffusion?
LoRA was initially developed for large language models, https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685 (2021). It was later that people discovered that it worked REALLY well for diffusion models.

From https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685:
> LoRA: Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models
> An important paradigm of natural language processing consists of large-scale pre-training on general domain data and adaptation to particular tasks or domains. As we pre-train larger models, full fine-tuning, which retrains all model parameters, becomes less feasible. Using GPT-3 175B as an example -- deploying independent instances of fine-tuned models, each with 175B parameters, is prohibitively expensive. We propose Low-Rank Adaptation, or LoRA, which freezes the pre-trained model weights and injects trainable rank decomposition matrices into each layer of the Transformer architecture, greatly reducing the number of trainable parameters for downstream tasks. Compared to GPT-3 175B fine-tuned with Adam, LoRA can reduce the number of trainable parameters by 10,000 times and the GPU memory requirement by 3 times. LoRA performs on-par or better than fine-tuning in model quality on RoBERTa, DeBERTa, GPT-2, and GPT-3, despite having fewer trainable parameters, a higher training throughput, and, unlike adapters, no additional inference latency.

Is supervised learning dead for computer vision?
Yes, your understanding is correct. However, instead of adding a head on top of the network, most fine-tuning is currently done with LoRA (https://github.com/microsoft/LoRA). This introduces low-rank matrices between different layers of your models, those are then trained using your training data while the rest of the models' weights are frozen.
-
Run LLMs at home, BitTorrent‑style
Somewhat yes. See "LoRA": https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685
They're not composable in the sense that you can take these adaptation layers and arbitrarily combine them, but training different models while sharing a common base of weights is a solved problem.

Open-source Fine-Tuning on Codebase with Refact
It's possible to fine-tune all parameters (called "full fine-tune"), but recently PEFT methods became popular. PEFT stands for Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning. There are several methods available, the most popular so far is LoRA (2106.09685) that can train less than 1% of the original weights. LoRA has one important parameter -- tensor size, called lora_r. It defines how much information LoRA can add to the network. If your codebase is small, the fine-tuning process will see the same data over and over again, many times in a loop. We found that for a smaller codebase small LoRA tensors work best because it won't overfit as much -- the tensors just don't have the capacity to fit the limited training set exactly. As the codebase gets bigger, tensors should become bigger as well. We also unfreeze token embeddings at a certain codebase size. To pick all the parameters automatically, we have developed a heuristic that calculates a score based on the source files it sees. This score is then used to determine the appropriate LoRA size, number of finetuning steps, and other parameters. We have tested this heuristic on several beta test clients, small codebases of several files, and large codebases like the Linux kernel (consisting of about 50,000 useful source files). If the heuristic doesn't work for you for whatever reason, you can set all the parameters yourself.

How to Finetune Llama 2: A Beginner's Guide
In this blog post, I want to make it as simple as possible to fine-tune the LLaMA 2 - 7B model, using as little code as possible. We will be using the Alpaca Lora Training script, which automates the process of fine-tuning the model and for GPU we will be using Beam.

A simple repo for fine-tuning LLMs with both GPTQ and bitsandbytes quantization. Also supports ExLlama for inference for the best speed.
Follow up the popular work of u/tloen alpaca-lora, I wrapped the setup of alpaca_lora_4bit to add support for GPTQ training in form of installable pip packages. You can perform training and inference with multiple quantizations method to compare the results.

Converting to GGML?
If instead you want to apply a LoRa to a pytorch model, a lot of people use this script to apply to LoRa to the 16 bit model and then quantize it with a GPTQ program afterwards https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/blob/main/export_hf_checkpoint.py

Simple LLM Watermarking - Open Lllama 3b LORA
There are a few papers on watermarking LLM output, but from what I have seen they all use complex methods of detection to allow the watermark to go unseen by the end user, only to be detected by algorithm. I believe that a more overt system of watermarking might also be beneficial. One simple method that I have tried is character substitution. For this model, I LORA finetuned openlm-research/open_llama_3b on the alpaca_data_cleaned_archive.json dataset from https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/ modified by replacing all instances of the "." character in the outputs with a "ι" The results are pretty good, with the correct the correct substitutions being generated by the model in most cases. It doesn't always work, but this was only a LORA training and for two epochs of 400 steps each, and 100% substitution isn't really required.

text-generation-webui's "Train Only After" option
I am kind of new to finetuning LLM's and am not able to understand what this option exactly refers to. I guess it has the same meaning as the "train_on_inputs" parameter of alpacalora though.
