摘要
Representation Fine-tuning (ReFT), a recently proposed parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PeFT) method, significantly improves parameter efficiency by modifying the representation space alone. However, directly applying ReFT, which alters a fixed number of representations at the beginning and end positions of each layer, results in suboptimal performance for two reasons. (i) The impact of these fixed-position representations on the output is uncertain; (ii) As the sequence length increases, fine-tuning a fixed number of representations may have diminishing effects on the final results. Based on our observations that punctuation plays a crucial role in integrating representations from preceding layers and modulating those of subsequent layers, we introduce Punctuation-steered Representation Fine-tuning (PuReFT), a straightforward yet powerful approach that additionally fine-tunes punctuation representations to achieve performance improvements. Extensive evaluations on common-sense, arithmetic, and code datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and versatility of PuReFT. Furthermore, our analysis of its training speed and memory overhead confirms its greater ease of use and efficiency.
