Recent advancements have illuminated the efficacy of some tensorization-decomposition Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning methods like LoRA and FacT in the context of Vision Transformers (ViT). However, these methods grapple with the challenges of inadequately addressing inner- and cross-layer redundancy. To tackle this issue, we introduce EFfective Factor-Tuning (EFFT), a simple yet effective fine-tuning method. Within the VTAB-1K dataset, our EFFT surpasses all baselines, attaining state-of-the-art performance with a categorical average of 75.9% in top-1 accuracy with only 0.28% of the parameters for full fine-tuning. Considering the simplicity and efficacy of EFFT, it holds the potential to serve as a foundational benchmark. The code and model are now available at https://github.com/Dongping-Chen/EFFT-EFfective-Factor-Tuning.
