GRASPrune removes 50% of parameters from LLaMA-2-7B via global gating and projected straight-through estimation, reaching 12.18 WikiText-2 perplexity and competitive zero-shot accuracy after four epochs on 512 calibration sequences.
AdaLeZO uses a non-stationary multi-armed bandit to adaptively allocate perturbation budget across layers in zeroth-order optimization and applies inverse probability weighting to reduce variance while preserving unbiased gradients, delivering 1.7x-3.0x wall-clock speedup on LLaMA and OPT models.
Task-aware pruning improves OOD performance by removing layers that distort task-adapted representation profiles, realigning OOD inputs with the geometry observed on ID data.
