Beyond Outliers: A Data-Free Layer-wise Mixed-Precision Quantization Approach Driven by Numerical and Structural Dual-Sensitivity
Hengyuan Zhang, Xinrong Chen, Zunhai Su +10
Layer-wise mixed-precision quantization (LMPQ) enables effective compression under extreme low-bit settings by allocating higher precision to sensitive layers. However, existing me…
Nonparametric Teaching of Attention Learners
Chen Zhang, Jianghui Wang, Bingyang Cheng +7
Attention learners, neural networks built on the attention mechanism, e.g., transformers, excel at learning the implicit relationships that relate sequences to their corresponding…
AnchorTP: Resilient LLM Inference with State-Preserving Elastic Tensor Parallelism
Wendong Xu, Chujie Chen, He Xiao +8
Large Language Model (LLM) inference services demand exceptionally high availability and low latency, yet multi-GPU Tensor Parallelism (TP) makes them vulnerable to single-GPU fail…
Fighter: Unveiling the Graph Convolutional Nature of Transformers in Time Series Modeling
Chen Zhang, Weixin Bu, Wendong Xu +3
Transformers have achieved remarkable success in time series modeling, yet their internal mechanisms remain opaque. This work demystifies the Transformer encoder by establishing it…
PTQTP: Post-Training Quantization to Trit-Planes for Large Language Models
He Xiao, Runming Yang, Qingyao Yang +6
Post-training quantization (PTQ) of large language models (LLMs) to extremely low bit-widths remains challenging due to the fundamental trade-off between computational efficiency a…
LongEmotion: Measuring Emotional Intelligence of Large Language Models in Long-Context Interaction
Weichu Liu, Jing Xiong, Yuxuan Hu +10
Large language models (LLMs) have made significant progress in Emotional Intelligence (EI) and long-context modeling. However, existing benchmarks often overlook the fact that emot…
