From Small to Mighty: Advancing Math Reasoning in SLMs

Overview

This project explores techniques to enhance mathematical reasoning in Small Language Models (SLMs) like T5-small. We investigate and implement methods such as:

• Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA)
• LoRA with Stacked Layers
• QLoRA

Artifacts:

• Poster: Poster_Advancing_Math_Reasoning_SLMs.pdf
• Report: Report_Advancing_Math_Reasoning_SLMs.pdf
