This is one of the easiest to follow explanations of LoRA that I’ve seen. Thanks a lot.

[@DeepFindr]

Glad you found it useful!

[@InturnetHaetMachine]

Another great video. I appreciate that you don't skip on giving context and lay a good foundation. Makes understanding a lot easier. Thanks!

[@teleprint-me]

I've been scouring for a video like this. You're the best explanation so far!

[@chrisschrumm6467]

Nice job with summarizing transfer learning and LoRA!

[@k_1_1_2_3_5]

What an excellent video!! Congrats!!

[@mohamedezzat5048]

Thanks a lot Amazing explanation, very clear and straightforward

[@omgwenxx]

Amazing video, feel like I finally understood every aspect of LoRA, thank you!

[@DeepFindr]

Glad it was helpful :)

[@aurkom]

Awesome! Waiting for a video on implementing LoRA from scratch in pytorch.

[@marjanshahi979]

Amazing explanation! Thanks a lot!

[@user-in2dd6by9q]

great video to explain lora！ thanks

[@aron2922]

Another great video, keep it up!

[@beyond_infinity16]

Explained quite well !

[@henrywang4010]

Great video! Liked and subscribed

[@binfos7434]

Really Helpful!

[@flecart]

good job!

[@dennislinnert5476]

Amazing!

[@unclecode]

Yes, indeed was hrlpful! Do you have a video on quantization?

[@sougatabhattacharya6703]

Good explanation

[@nomad_3d]

Good summary! Next time it would be great if you add headings to the tables that you show on the video. Sometimes it is hard to follow. For example, what is computational efficiency? is it inference time or inference time increase over the increase in performance (e.g. accuracy, recall, etc.)? Thanks.

[@moonly3781]

I'm interested in fine-tuning a Large Language Model to specialize in specific knowledge, for example about fish species, such as which fish can be found in certain seas or which are prohibited from fishing. Could you guide me on how to prepare a dataset for this purpose? Should I structure it as simple input-output pairs (e.g., 'What fish are in the Mediterranean Sea?' -> 'XX fish can be found in the Mediterranean Sea'), or is it better to create a more complex dataset with multiple columns containing various details about each fish species? Any advice on dataset preparation for fine-tuning an LLM in this context would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!"

[@msfasha]

Brilliant

[@ahmadalis1517]

XAI techniques on LLMs is really interesting topic! When you would consider it?

[@Canbay12]

Thank you very much for this amazing vide. However, although this was probably only for demo purposes of a forward pass after LoRA finetuning; the modified forward pass method you`ve shown might be mislieading; since the forward pass of the function is assumed to be entirely linear. So, does the addition of the LoRA finetuned weights to the base model weights happen directly within model weights file (like .safetensors) or can it be done on a higher level on pytorch or tensorflow?

[@ibongamtrang7247]

Thanks

[@ad_academy]

Good video

[@ArunkumarMTamil]

how is Lora fine-tuning track changes from creating two decomposition matrix? How the ΔW is determined?

[@darshandv10]

What softwares do you use to make videos?

[@xugefu]

Thanks!

[@DeepFindr]

Thank you!

[@prashantlawhatre7007]

please make video on QLoRA

[@Menor55672]

How do you make the illustrations ?

[@alkodjdjd]

As clear as mud

[@truck.-kun.]

Sounds like AI

[@anudeepk7390]

Is it a compliment or no? Cause mud is not clear.

[@iloos7457]

​@@anudeepk7390😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kutilkol]

Ideot read paper. Lol
