Early Quantization Shrinks Codebook: A Simple Fix for Diversity-Preserving Tokenization
Wenhao Zhao, Qiran Zou, Rushi Shah +3
Vector quantization is a technique in machine learning that discretizes continuous representations into a set of discrete vectors. It is widely employed in tokenizing data represen…
