SimReg: Achieving Higher Performance in the Pretraining via Embedding Similarity Regularization
Yan Sun, Guoxia Wang, Jinle Zeng +6
Pretraining large language models (LLMs) with next-token prediction has led to remarkable advances, yet the context-dependent nature of token embeddings in such models results in h…
RRAttention: Dynamic Block Sparse Attention via Per-Head Round-Robin Shifts for Long-Context Inference
Siran Liu, Guoxia Wang, Sa Wang +7
The quadratic complexity of attention mechanisms poses a critical bottleneck for large language models processing long contexts. While dynamic sparse attention methods offer input-…
CCQ: Convolutional Code for Extreme Low-bit Quantization in LLMs
Zhaojing Zhou, Xunchao Li, Minghao Li +8
The rapid scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) elevates inference costs and compounds substantial deployment barriers. While quantization to 8 or 4 bits mitigates this, sub-3-bi…
FlashMask: Efficient and Rich Mask Extension of FlashAttention
Guoxia Wang, Jinle Zeng, Xiyuan Xiao +7
The computational and memory demands of vanilla attention scale quadratically with the sequence length , posing significant challenges for processing long sequences in Transform…
