DeepSpeed Data Efficiency: Improving Deep Learning Model Quality and Training Efficiency via Efficient Data Sampling and Routing
Conglong Li, Zhewei Yao, Xiaoxia Wu +4
Recent advances on deep learning models come at the price of formidable training cost. The increasing model size is one of the root causes, but another less-emphasized fact is that…
Random-LTD: Random and Layerwise Token Dropping Brings Efficient Training for Large-scale Transformers
Zhewei Yao, Xiaoxia Wu, Conglong Li +4
Large-scale transformer models have become the de-facto architectures for various machine learning applications, e.g., CV and NLP. However, those large models also introduce prohib…
BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model
BigScience Workshop, :, Teven Le Scao +391
Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to wi…
ZeroQuant: Efficient and Affordable Post-Training Quantization for Large-Scale Transformers
Zhewei Yao, Reza Yazdani Aminabadi, Minjia Zhang +3
How to efficiently serve ever-larger trained natural language models in practice has become exceptionally challenging even for powerful cloud servers due to their prohibitive memor…
Extreme Compression for Pre-trained Transformers Made Simple and Efficient
Xiaoxia Wu, Zhewei Yao, Minjia Zhang +2
Extreme compression, particularly ultra-low bit precision (binary/ternary) quantization, has been proposed to fit large NLP models on resource-constraint devices. However, to prese…
Maximizing Communication Efficiency for Large-scale Training via 0/1 Adam
Yucheng Lu, Conglong Li, Minjia Zhang +2
1-bit gradient compression and local steps are two representative techniques that enable drastic communication reduction in distributed SGD. Their benefits, however, remain an open…
DeepSpeed-MoE: Advancing Mixture-of-Experts Inference and Training to Power Next-Generation AI Scale
Samyam Rajbhandari, Conglong Li, Zhewei Yao +5
As the training of giant dense models hits the boundary on the availability and capability of the hardware resources today, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models become one of the most p…
