Neural Architecture Search for Parameter-Efficient Fine-tuning of Large Pre-trained Language Models

26 May 2023  ·  Neal Lawton, Anoop Kumar, Govind Thattai, Aram Galstyan, Greg Ver Steeg ·

Parameter-efficient tuning (PET) methods fit pre-trained language models (PLMs) to downstream tasks by either computing a small compressed update for a subset of model parameters, or appending and fine-tuning a small number of new model parameters to the pre-trained network. Hand-designed PET architectures from the literature perform well in practice, but have the potential to be improved via automated neural architecture search (NAS). We propose an efficient NAS method for learning PET architectures via structured and unstructured pruning. We present experiments on GLUE demonstrating the effectiveness of our algorithm and discuss how PET architectural design choices affect performance in practice.
