PermDoRA -- Understanding Adapter Interference in Language Models: Limits of Parameter-Space Geometry
arXiv:2606.11262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Access control in large language models (LLMs) requires modular mechanisms to enable domain-specific behavior without retraining or cross-domain interference. A common hypothesis is that interference during adapter composition arises from overlap in linear parameter updates, suggesting that enforcing orthogonality or directional independence should improve multi-domain performance. We test this hypothesis using DoRA-RBAC, a hierarchical adapter composition framework based on weight-decomposed low-rank adaptation. We compare conventional Euclidean
The proliferation of various LLM adapters necessitates understanding their interference to optimize multi-domain applications, making research into their parameter geometry timely.
Improving adapter composition is critical for developing more robust, flexible, and efficient AI agents and specialized LLMs, directly impacting their scalability and performance.
Better understanding and mitigation of adapter interference could enable more complex and reliable modular AI systems, reducing the need for full model retraining for new tasks.
