LOTION: Smoothing the Optimization Landscape for Quantized Training
Mujin Kwun, Depen Morwani, Chloe Huangyuan Su +3
Optimizing neural networks for quantized objectives is fundamentally challenging because the quantizer is piece-wise constant, yielding zero gradients everywhere except at quantiza…

Interpreting the linear structure of vision-language model embedding spaces
Isabel Papadimitriou, Huangyuan Su, Thomas Fel +2
Vision-language models encode images and text in a joint space, minimizing the distance between corresponding image and text pairs. How are language and images organized in this jo…

Characterization and Mitigation of Training Instabilities in Microscaling Formats
Huangyuan Su, Mujin Kwun, Stephanie Gil +2
Training large language models is an expensive, compute-bound process that must be repeated as models scale, algorithms improve, and new data is collected. To address this, next-ge…
