Predicting Quantization Price for Selecting PTQ Configurations Before Deployment

Junbin Qiu, Jian Mu, Weitong Zhang +1

Weight-space post-training quantization (PTQ) must choose finite formats, granularities, quantizer families, transformations, and bits before the completed quantized model reveals…

Compander-Aligned Query Geometry for Quantized Zeroth-Order Optimization

Yao Shu, Zilin Zhu

Low-bit forward evaluation is an attractive route to memory-efficient zeroth-order (ZO) adaptation: the optimizer needs only scalar losses, and the model can be queried near deploy…

Why Zeroth-Order Adaptation May Forget Less: A Randomized Shaping Theory

Yao Shu, Jian Mu, Zhongxiang Dai

Continual learning requires new-task adaptation without damaging previously acquired capabilities. Recent forward-pass and zeroth-order (ZO) results show that low-query adaptation…
