Jacobian-guided Noise Injection for Quantization Robustness in Large Language Models
Deepanshu Pandey, Arnav Chavan, Nahush Lele +2
Quantization of Large Language Models (LLMs) is often hindered by the sensitivity of the self-attention mechanism to discretization errors. We identify the softmax operator as a bo…

S2D: Selective Spectral Decay for Quantization-Friendly Conditioning of Neural Activations
Arnav Chavan, Nahush Lele, Udbhav Bamba +3
Activation outliers in large-scale transformer models pose a fundamental challenge to model quantization, creating excessively large ranges that cause severe accuracy drops during…
