Quantizing With Randomized Hadamard Transforms: Efficient Heuristic Now Proven

Ran Ben-Basat, William Kuszmaul, Michael Mitzenmacher +2

Uniform random rotations (URRs) are a common preprocessing step in modern quantization approaches used for gradient compression, inference acceleration, KV-cache compression, model…

A Note on TurboQuant and the Earlier DRIVE/EDEN Line of Work

Ran Ben-Basat, Yaniv Ben-Itzhak, Gal Mendelson +3

This note clarifies the relationship between the recent TurboQuant work and the earlier DRIVE (NeurIPS 2021) and EDEN (ICML 2022) schemes. DRIVE is a 1-bit quantizer that EDEN exte…
