Beyond the Target: From Imitation to Collaboration in Speculative Decoding

Jinze Li, Yixing Xu, Guanchen Li +7

Speculative decoding (SPD) accelerates large language model (LLM) inference by letting a smaller draft model propose multiple future tokens that are verified in parallel by a large…

Learnable Permutation for Structured Sparsity on Transformer Models

Zekai Li, Ji Liu, Guanchen Li +5

Structured sparsity has emerged as a popular model pruning technique, widely adopted in various architectures, including CNNs, Transformer models, and especially large language mod…

Dual LoRA: Enhancing LoRA with Magnitude and Direction Updates

Yixing Xu, Chao Li, Xuanwu Yin +4

Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is one of the most popular methods among parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods to adapt pre-trained large language models (LLMs) to specific dow…

Training-Free Loosely Speculative Decoding: Accepting Semantically Correct Drafts Beyond Exact Match

Jinze Li, Yixing Xu, Guanchen Li +6

Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance across diverse tasks but suffer from high inference latency due to their autoregressive generation. Speculative Decoding (SP…

SparK: Query-Aware Unstructured Sparsity with Recoverable KV Cache Channel Pruning

Huanxuan Liao, Yixing Xu, Shizhu He +6

Long-context inference in large language models (LLMs) is increasingly constrained by the KV cache bottleneck: memory usage grows linearly with sequence length, while attention com…

Gumiho: A Hybrid Architecture to Prioritize Early Tokens in Speculative Decoding

Jinze Li, Yixing Xu, Haiduo Huang +4

Speculative decoding (SPD) aims to accelerate the auto-regressive token generation process of a target Large Language Model (LLM). Some approaches employ a draft model with multipl…

Týr-the-Pruner: Structural Pruning LLMs via Global Sparsity Distribution Optimization

Guanchen Li, Yixing Xu, Zeping Li +4

Structural pruning enhances hardware-agnostic inference efficiency for large language models (LLMs) yet often fails to maintain comparable performance. Local pruning performs effic…

Jakiro: Boosting Speculative Decoding with Decoupled Multi-Head via MoE

Haiduo Huang, Fuwei Yang, Zhenhua Liu +7

Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates large language model inference by using a smaller draft model to predict multiple tokens, which are then verified in parallel by the larger ta…
