Abstract

This letter proposes Adaptive Split LoRA (AdaSplitLoRA), a framework that jointly optimizes adaptive low rank adaptor (LoRA) rank allocation and dynamic bandwidth allocation for communication-efficient split federated learning (SFL)-based large language model (LLM) fine-tuning. We formulate a joint per-round latency minimization problem over server-side LoRA ranks and uplink bandwidth, and decompose it into two independent subproblems. For server-side rank adaptation, we employ a gradient-based importance heuristic to address the inherent intractability of the discrete rank optimization. For uplink bandwidth allocation, we design a min–max straggler latency problem, prove its convexity, and obtain the global optimum efficiently using interior-point methods. Experimental results show that AdaSplitLoRA outperforms or remains competitive with fixed/adaptive-rank baselines while using fewer server-side adapter parameters and achieving favorable accuracy–latency tradeoffs in heterogeneous wireless SFL settings.

Efficient Federated Learning With Adaptive Model Pruning and Quantization Over Wireless Networks

Federated learning (FL) enables multiple devices to collaboratively train a global model without sharing local data. However, due to limited local computing capability and communication bandwidth, FL suffers from high learning latency, especially when the model size is large. To address these issues, we propose APQ-FL,...
