Looping Beyond Twice: A Scalable Recipe for Looped Mixture-of-Experts
Di He, Pengxiang Li, Da Chang +3
Looped Transformers introduce recurrent depth as a new scaling axis for LLMs: by repeatedly applying shared Transformer blocks, they increase effective depth without increasing par…
When Fewer Layers Break More Chains: Layer Pruning Harms Test-Time Scaling in LLMs
Keyu Wang, Tian Lyu, Guinan Su +4
Layer pruning has emerged as a widely adopted technique for improving the efficiency of large language models (LLMs). Although existing methods demonstrate strong performance reten…
Model Unmerging: Making Your Models Unmergeable for Secure Model Sharing
Zihao Wang, Enneng Yang, Lu Yin +2
Model merging leverages multiple finetuned expert models to construct a multi-task model with low cost, and is gaining increasing attention. However, as a growing number of finetun…
The Curse of Depth in Large Language Models
Wenfang Sun, Xinyuan Song, Pengxiang Li +3
In this paper, we introduce the Curse of Depth, a concept that highlights, explains, and addresses the recent observation in modern Large Language Models (LLMs) where nearly half o…
Mix-LN: Unleashing the Power of Deeper Layers by Combining Pre-LN and Post-LN
Pengxiang Li, Lu Yin, Shiwei Liu
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success, yet recent findings reveal that their deeper layers often contribute minimally and can be pruned without affecting ov…
Q-GaLore: Quantized GaLore with INT4 Projection and Layer-Adaptive Low-Rank Gradients
Zhenyu Zhang, Ajay Jaiswal, Lu Yin +4
Training Large Language Models (LLMs) is memory-intensive due to the large number of parameters and associated optimization states. GaLore, a recent method, reduces memory usage by…
From Low Rank Gradient Subspace Stabilization to Low-Rank Weights: Observations, Theories, and Applications
Ajay Jaiswal, Yifan Wang, Lu Yin +6
Large Language Models' (LLMs) weight matrices can often be expressed in low-rank form with potential to relax memory and compute resource requirements. Unlike prior efforts that fo…
Outlier-weighed Layerwise Sampling for LLM Fine-tuning
Pengxiang Li, Lu Yin, Xiaowei Gao +1
The rapid advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized various natural language processing tasks. However, the substantial size of LLMs presents significant cha…
Outlier Weighed Layerwise Sparsity (OWL): A Missing Secret Sauce for Pruning LLMs to High Sparsity
Lu Yin, You Wu, Zhenyu Zhang +10
Large Language Models (LLMs), renowned for their remarkable performance across diverse domains, present a challenge when it comes to practical deployment due to their colossal mode…
Junk DNA Hypothesis: Pruning Small Pre-Trained Weights Irreversibly and Monotonically Impairs "Difficult" Downstream Tasks in LLMs
Lu Yin, Ajay Jaiswal, Shiwei Liu +2
We present Junk DNA Hypothesis by adopting a novel task-centric angle for the pre-trained weights of large language models (LLMs). It has been believed that weights in LLMs contain…
