Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has become a standard approach for parameter-efficient fine-tuning, yet a fundamental practical question remains unresolved: how should the adapter rank be chosen? An overly small rank may lead to a poorly conditioned optimization landscape, whereas an unnecessarily large rank sacrifices the...

NormPre is developed with NormPre-G and NormPre-L adopting global and localized spectral preconditioning, grounded in spectral-norm steepest descent and a regularized formulation followed by leading mode selection, respectively, to enable large-scale training.

An angular effective learning rate is derived that accounts for the parameter-update angle, parameter norm, and update norm, and shows that the conventional norm-based measure is a special case under parameter-update orthogonality.
