OPTIMA: Optimal One-shot Pruning for LLMs via Quadratic Programming Reconstruction
Mohammad Mozaffari, Samuel Kushnir, Maryam Mehri Dehnavi +1
Post-training model pruning is a promising solution, yet it faces a trade-off: simple heuristics that zero weights are fast but degrade accuracy, while principled joint optimizatio…

CafeQ: Calibration-free Quantization via Learned Transformations and Adaptive Rounding
Ziteng Sun, Adrian Benton, Samuel Kushnir +4
Post-training quantization is an effective method for reducing the serving cost of large language models, where the standard approach is to use a round-to-nearest quantization leve…

QHDOPT: A Software for Nonlinear Optimization with Quantum Hamiltonian Descent
Samuel Kushnir, Jiaqi Leng, Yuxiang Peng +2
We develop an open-source, end-to-end software (named QHDOPT), which can solve nonlinear optimization problems using the quantum Hamiltonian descent (QHD) algorithm. QHDOPT offers…
