Localized LoRA-MoE: Block-wise Low-Rank Experts With Adaptive Routing
On the map: Mixture-of-experts → Mixture of LoRA experts
Abstract (arXiv)
Large Language Models (LLMs) and high-dimensional perception networks increasingly rely on parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) to adapt to diverse operational contexts. However, standard methods like LoRA are structurally limited by a monolithic bottleneck, making them highly susceptible to gradient warfare. Interleaved multi-task streams may trigger destructive optimization feedback, collapsing adapter weights into unspecialized averages. While recent spatial partitioning methods have introduced block-wise isolation, they remain trapped in static topologies, unable to adapt to dynamic task-switching or environmental sensor failure. In this work, we introduce Localized LoRA-MoE, a unified framework that fuses localized spatial blocking with dynamic, context-conditioned routing. We propose and evaluate two novel architectural paradigms: Block-Wise LoRA-MoE (Centralized Macro-Routing), which modulates the entire structural grid via a monolithic context signal, and Cell-Wise LoRA-MoE (Decentralized Micro-Routing), which empowers every coordinate cell in the matrix grid with autonomous, localized expert gating. Through a comprehensive suite of benchmarks, ranging from high-dimensional SVD matrix simulations and real-world tabular transformations to spatial vision perception under sensor degradation, we demonstrate that both architectures resolve optimization deadlocks inherent in static baselines. Our empirical results establish that decentralized cell-level gating achieves complete statistical parity with an omniscient global coordinator, providing a robust "gradient firewall" that protects surviving pathways from fault-propagated corruption. Our proposals consistently outperform static baselines, offering a scalable and parameter-efficient solution for dynamic model adaptation across granular coordinate fields and shifting operational regimes.
