WaRA: Wavelet Low Rank Adaptation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2506.24092v2 Announce Type: replace Adapting large pretrained vision models to medical image classification is often limited by memory, computation, and task-specific specializations. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods like LoRA reduce this cost by learning low-rank updates, but operating directly in feature space can struggle to capture the localized, multi-scale features common in medical imaging. We propose WaRA, a wavelet-structured adaptation module that performs low-rank adaptation in a wavelet domain.
