What papers say

Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites PA-RAG as a baseline.

However, a limitation remains regarding the granularity of adaptation. By relying on dense optimization strategies such as full-parameter fine-tuning or layer-level parameter-efficient fine-tuning, existing approaches overlook the potential of neuron-level sparsity.
