Why Parameter Efficient?

Pre-training, then fully fine-tuning is a long standing paradigm in deep learning. However, as pre-trained models are scaling up, e.g. GPT-3(175B params), fully fine-tuning them on various downstream tasks has a high risk of overfitting. Moreover, in practice, it would be costly to train and store a large model for each task. To overcome the above issues, researchers started to explore Parameter-Efficient Transfer Learning which aims at adapting large-scale pre-trained model to various downstream tasks by modifying as less parameter as possible. Inspired by the great advances in NLP domain and the continuous trend of scaling up models, scholars in computer vision and multimodal domains also join the research craze.
