Description

Hi.
I want to implement a feature to train a generic translation model on a large dataset, where we have many translator users, each of whom has a personal memory bank they maintain. I would like to use Pretrain Transformer + Adapter Layers to support users to upload some data to finetune customized models. Is it possible for CTranslate2 to support such dynamic loading and releasing of Adapter parameters?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by tracing how pretrained Transformer models and adapter layers are represented, then establish whether per-user adapter parameters can be dynamically loaded and released.
