Preprint.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
We introduce Heuristic-Guided Fourier Fine-Tuning (HeuFouFT), a task-guided framework for selecting trainable frequency coordinates in Fourier fine-tuning. Existing uniform and Gaussian band-pass schemes allocate a limited spectral budget through fixed, task-agnostic rules. HeuFouFT instead searches for coordinates using downstream performance. A coarse intensity map from lightweight block-level probes initializes three metaheuristic optimizers: Genetic Algorithm with Simulated Annealing (GA-SA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Cuckoo Search (CS). During search, a Random Forest filters each population so that only the top 30% of candidates proceed to proxy fine-tuning. On E2E with GPT-2-Medium, all three variants outperform random-uniform FourierFT, Gaussian band-pass FourierFT, and LoRA across five metrics. PSO further outperforms LoCA, the best-performing baseline, on four metrics while using 37.6% fewer trainable spectral coefficients. Once coordinates are selected, HeuFouFT requires only 15--18% FLOPs of Full FT. These results show that task-guided search allocates limited spectral capacity more effectively than fixed sampling. Our code is publicly available.
