CFQ trains quantizer parameters and mixed-precision allocation to preserve counterfactual recourse validity, cost, and direction on Adult, German Credit, and COMPAS while matching accuracy of standard quantizers.
DPQuant uses epoch-wise probabilistic layer rotation and DP loss sensitivity to quantize only a changing subset of layers, reducing accuracy degradation from quantization noise in DP-SGD and delivering up to 2.21x throughput gains with under 2% accuracy drop.
CoRa reclaims quantization residuals in pre-trained ConvNets by searching low-rank adapter architectures instead of weights, matching SOTA accuracy on ImageNet in 3-4 bit settings with under 250 iterations on 1600 images.
LLM.int8() performs 8-bit inference for transformers up to 175B parameters with no accuracy loss by combining vector-wise quantization for most features with 16-bit mixed-precision handling of systematic outlier dimensions.
Nonlinear Bipolar Compensation with Bipolar Logarithmic Transformation reduces outlier effects in post-training quantization by performing compensation in a compressed transformed space.
LoKA enables practical FP8 use in numerically sensitive large recommendation models via online profiling of activations, reusable model modifications for stability, and dynamic kernel dispatching.
OSAQ suppresses weight outliers in LLMs via a closed-form additive transformation from the Hessian's stable null space, improving 2-bit quantization perplexity by over 40% versus vanilla GPTQ with no inference overhead.
GSQ uses Gumbel-Softmax to optimize scalar quantization grids for LLMs, closing most of the accuracy gap to vector methods like QTIP at 2-3 bits per parameter while using symmetric scalar grids compatible with existing kernels.
AHCQ-SAM introduces ACNR, HLUQ, CAG, and LNQ quantization techniques that deliver 15.2% mAP gain on 4-bit SAM-B and 14.01% J&F gain on 4-bit SAM2-Tiny versus prior PTQ methods.
AWQ quantizes LLM weights to low bits by scaling salient channels based on activation statistics, outperforming prior methods on language, coding, math, and multi-modal benchmarks.
CAR-SAM introduces MatMul-Aware Compensation and Joint Cross-Attention Reconstruction to enable stable 4-bit post-training quantization of SAM, outperforming prior PTQ methods by 14.6% mAP on SAM-B and 6.6% on SAM-L.
Colinearity-Decay regularizer trains ViTs that maintain or improve full-precision accuracy while delivering higher accuracy after low-bit quantization on ImageNet and COCO tasks.
BWTA achieves near full-precision accuracy on BERT and LLMs using binary weights and ternary activations, with 16-24x kernel speedups via specialized CUDA kernels.
The prune-quantize-distill ordering produces a better accuracy-size-latency frontier on CIFAR-10/100 than any single technique or other orderings, with INT8 QAT providing the main runtime gain.
A survey synthesizing challenges, system architectures, model optimizations, deployment methods, and resource management techniques for large language model inference at the network edge.
