Dependencies

• This code is test with Python 3.10 but may work with earlier versions.
• See requirements.txt to setup the environment and get all the python package dependencies.

Code

All the parameter efficient finetuning methods that we implemented and tested are in src/models.py. src/mem_optimized_slash implements a custom layer that performs forward and backward propogration by generating projection matrices on the fly. It is not fully tested.

Reproducing Results

See commands.md to run experiments and reproduce tables mentioned in the paper. This should be a good start to understand how to run the commands and which python to check to understand the code. The shell folder contain commands for different methods and tasks with most of the hyperparameters explicitly passed.

• All the efficient finetuning methods are in src/models.py and excute using run_*.py files in src/ folder.
• We use src/compute_noise.py to find the correct noise parameters for DP training.
