Prompt Tuning based Adapter for Vision-Language Model Adaption
Jingchen Sun, Jiayu Qin, Zihao Lin, Changyou Chen
Large pre-trained vision-language (VL) models have shown significant promise in adapting to various downstream tasks. However, fine-tuning the entire network is challenging due to the massive number of model parameters. To address this issue, efficient adaptation methods such as prompt tuning have been proposed. We explore the idea of prompt tuning with multi-task pre-trained initialization and find it can significantly improve model performance. Based on our findings, we introduce a new model, termed Prompt-Adapter, that combines pre-trained prompt tunning with an efficient adaptation network. Our approach beat the state-of-the-art methods in few-shot image classification on the public 11 datasets, especially in settings with limited data instances such as 1 shot, 2 shots, 4 shots, and 8 shots images. Our proposed method demonstrates the promise of combining prompt tuning and parameter-efficient networks for efficient vision-language model adaptation. The code is publicly available at: https://github.com/Jingchensun/prompt_adapter.
