Good Practices for Institutional Organization of Research Institutes: Excellence in Research and Positive Impact on Society
Zlatan Ajanović, Hamza Merzić, Suad Krilasević +10
In this paper, we analyze examples of research institutes that stand out in scientific excellence and social impact. We define key practices for evaluating research results, econom…
"Give Me BF16 or Give Me Death"? Accuracy-Performance Trade-Offs in LLM Quantization
Eldar Kurtic, Alexandre Marques, Shubhra Pandit +2
Quantization is a powerful tool for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference, but the accuracy-performance trade-offs across different formats remain unclear. In this pape…
EvoPress: Accurate Dynamic Model Compression via Evolutionary Search
Oliver Sieberling, Denis Kuznedelev, Eldar Kurtic +1
The high computational costs of large language models (LLMs) have led to a flurry of research on LLM compression, via methods such as quantization, sparsification, or structured pr…
Panza: Design and Analysis of a Fully-Local Personalized Text Writing Assistant
Armand Nicolicioiu, Eugenia Iofinova, Andrej Jovanovic +6
The availability of powerful open-source large language models (LLMs) opens exciting use-cases, such as using personal data to fine-tune these models to imitate a user's unique wri…
Mathador-LM: A Dynamic Benchmark for Mathematical Reasoning on Large Language Models
Eldar Kurtic, Amir Moeini, Dan Alistarh
We introduce Mathador-LM, a new benchmark for evaluating the mathematical reasoning on large language models (LLMs), combining ruleset interpretation, planning, and problem-solving…
Enabling High-Sparsity Foundational Llama Models with Efficient Pretraining and Deployment
Abhinav Agarwalla, Abhay Gupta, Alexandre Marques +9
Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized Natural Language Processing (NLP), but their size creates computational bottlenecks. We introduce a novel approach to create accura…
MicroAdam: Accurate Adaptive Optimization with Low Space Overhead and Provable Convergence
Ionut-Vlad Modoranu, Mher Safaryan, Grigory Malinovsky +4
We propose a new variant of the Adam optimizer called MicroAdam that specifically minimizes memory overheads, while maintaining theoretical convergence guarantees. We achieve this…
