Parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods introduce a small number of training parameters, enabling pre-trained models to adapt rapidly to new data distributions. While these methods have shown promising results, they exhibit notable limitations. First, most existing methods operate in the signal space domain, which results in substantial information redundancy. Second, most existing methods utilize fixed prompts or adaptation layers, failing to fully account for the multi-scale characteristics of signals. To address these challenges, we propose the Multi-Scale Frequency Adapter (FreqAdapter), which integrates textual information and performs multi-scale fine-tuning of visual signal in the frequency domain. Additionally, we introduce a multi-scale adaptation strategy to optimize receptive fields across different frequency ranges, further enhancing the model’s representational capacity. Extensive experiments on multimodal models, including CLIP and LLaVA, demonstrate that FreqAdapter significantly improves both performance and efficiency. FreqAdapter improves performance with minimal cost and fast convergence within one epoch.

Sign language translation (SLT) is essential for bridging communication between the deaf and hearing communities, but real-world deployment suffers from domain shift such as signer variability, lighting, and background changes. Supervised fine-tuning is impractical due to limited labeled data, and existing unsupervised adaptation methods require batch statistics or long adaptation. We introduce Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) for SLT, enabling rapid adaptation to domain shift without the need for labeled data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore TTA in SLT. Existing TTA methods predominantly focus on image classification tasks and lack a comprehensive strategy for handling domain shift in SLT. In response, we introduce SAME, a plug-and-play, signer-aware Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) TTA architecture for SLT. SAME inserts lightweight MoE modules after multiple encoder layers. Gates are conditioned on signer features and stabilized with unsupervised regularizers, effectively decoupling domain shift across encoder depths while enabling personalized adaptation. Experiments show that SAME outperforms existing TTA methods and can enhance the capabilities of multiple SLT models.
