OMP sparse coding of donor token embeddings, with coefficients transferred to the base embedding space, preserves LLM performance after tokenizer replacement better than published zero-shot baselines, though simple heuristics tie it when token overlap is high.

abstract
In text classification, the problem of overfitting arises due to the high dimensionality, making regularization essential. Although classic regularizers provide sparsity, they fail to return highly accurate models. On the contrary, state-of-the-art group-lasso regularizers provide better results at the expense of low sparsity. In this paper, we apply a greedy variable selection algorithm, called Orthogonal Matching Pursuit, for the text classification task. We also extend standard group OMP by introducing overlapping Group OMP to handle overlapping groups of features. Empirical analysis verifies that both OMP and overlapping GOMP constitute powerful regularizers, able to produce effective and very sparse models.

Training-Free Tokenizer Transplantation via Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
