Question: Does LoRA rank affect convergence speed on small datasets?

Type: Benchmark optimization, hyperparameter study

Skills Used:

  • arxiv — Literature search
  • mlops — Model training
  • tensorboard — Experiment tracking

Key Takeaway: Higher rank improves convergence speed up to a point (r=16), then diminishing returns.


Creating Your Own Research

  1. Start with /autoresearch "your question"
  2. Follow the two-loop architecture
  3. Commit protocols before running
  4. Generate progress reports with /research-report

Tips from Examples

  • Start small: First experiment should complete in <30 minutes
  • Define metrics upfront: Know what you're measuring before you start
  • Document surprises: Negative results are progress too
  • Show your work: Progress reports help humans follow along
