AdaDARE-gamma: Balancing Stability and Plasticity in Multi-modal LLMs through Efficient Adaptation
Adapting Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to target tasks often suffers from catastrophic forgetting, where acquiring new task-specific knowledge compromises performance on pre-trained tasks. In this paper, we introduce AdaDARE-\gamma, an efficient approach that alleviates catastrophic forgetting by controllably injecting new task-specific knowledge through adaptive parameter selection from fine-tuned models without requiring retraining procedures. This approach consists two key innovations: (1) an adaptive parameter selection mechanism that identifies and retains the most task-relevant parameters from fine-tuned models, and (2) a controlled task-specific information injection strategy that precisely balances the preservation of pre-trained knowledge with the acquisition of new capabilities. Theoretical analysis proves the optimality of our parameter selection strategy and establishes bounds for the task-specific information injection factor. Extensive experiments on InstructBLIP and LLaVA-1.5 across image captioning and visual question answering tasks demonstrate that AdaDARE-\gamma establishes new state-of-the-art results in balancing model performance. Specifically, it maintains 98.2% of pre-training effectiveness on original tasks while achieving 98.7% of standard fine-tuning performance on target tasks.
