Yet models now reach hundreds of billions of parameters, so even rank-1 LoRA can be too heavy for mobile hardware or labs with little compute. The authors ask how a very small, fixed budget of trainable parameters should be… 2. **[On the Representation Geometry of LoRA Model Merging](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2026-representation-geometry-lora-model-merging/)** *(2026)* Combining several task-specific LoRA adapters into one model without further training is hard because their low-rank updates tend to occupy misaligned subspaces. ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jinman Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinman-zhao/) ×2 - [Chenyang Lu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenyang-lu/) - [Erxue Min](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/erxue-min/) - [Gerald Penn](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gerald-penn/) - [Xueyan Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xueyan-zhang/) - [Yining Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yining-wang/) - [Yuchen Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuchen-li/) - [Yulan Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yulan-hu/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 7 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaru-li/cited-by/).
