arXiv:2505.18315v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce CoLoRA (Convolutional Low-Rank Adaptation), a parameter-efficient fine-tuning method for convolutional neural networks (CNNs). CoLoRA extends LoRA to convolutional layers by decomposing kernel updates into lightweight depthwise and pointwise components. This design reduces the number of trainable convolutional-update parameters by over 80\% compared with full convolutional fine-tuning, while allowing the learned updates to be merged into the pretrained convolutional kernels, thereby preserving the original model size and in
