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…
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…
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…
Enhancing One-shot Pruned Pre-trained Language Models through Sparse-Dense-Sparse Mechanism
Guanchen Li, Xiandong Zhao, Lian Liu +6
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) are engineered to be robust in contextual understanding and exhibit outstanding performance in various natural language processing tasks. However…
