• Zipper-LoRA addresses the stability-plasticity dilemma in multilingual ASR by dynamically synthesizing LoRA updates from shared and language-specific subspaces.method 90%
  Evidencepartial

  To address this, we propose Zipper-LoRA, a novel rank-level decoupling framework with three variants (Static, Hard, and Soft) that dynamically synthesizes LoRA updates from shared and language-specific subspaces.

• Zipper-LoRA uses a lightweight language-conditioned router to dynamically control the contribution of shared and language-specific subspaces at the LoRA rank level.technical 90%
  Evidencepartial

  By using a lightweight language-conditioned router, Zipper-LoRA dynamically controls the contribution of each subspace at the LoRA rank level, enabling fine-grained sharing where languages are compatible and strict decoupling when conflicts occur.
