Deploying deep learning models on edge CPUs is bottlenecked by computational and memory constraints. Mixed-precision quantization promises to reduce inference latency while preserving accuracy. Howeve...
arXiv:2608. 12239v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Use this plain-text version for the arXiv abstract field: Learned image compression (LIC) models achieve strong rate-distortion performance but are hindered by high computational complexity and encoding-decoding mismatches across heterogeneous hardware platforms.

The paper introduces RAMP, a method for robust adaptive mixed‑precision quantization of vision models on edge CPUs. It evaluates 13 sensitivity metrics across four neural networks, finding that Jensen‑Shannon Divergence consistently identifies layers that can be safely quantized. Using K‑Means clustering on these metrics, RAMP achieves near‑lossless accuracy with an average 1.81× speed‑up, while cautioning against excluding low‑speed‑up layers that can fragment the computational graph.

SCULPT is a training-time method that enhances the readiness of edge vision models for low-bit post‑training quantization (PTQ). It introduces a topology‑aware activation regularizer to reduce skewness and kurtosis, and a stable percentile‑based clipping mechanism that learns deployment‑ready activation bounds during ordinary FP32 fine‑tuning. The resulting clipping bounds can be directly exported into standard PTQ workflows for INT8 or lower‑bit settings such as W4A8.

Modern deep neural networks achieve strong performance, but their scale makes them costly and slow, especially on resource-constrained edge devices. Pruning and quantization address this, but rely on manual, expert choices and on algorithms that are hard to apply across architectures.
State space models (SSMs), particularly Mamba, have emerged as efficient alternatives to attention-based architectures and have been extended to vision through ViM, VMamba, and Visual State Space Dual...
arXiv:2606. 31456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With an increasing number of Object Detection (OD) models being deployed on edge devices, Zero-Shot Quantization for OD (ZSQ-OD) aims to quantize these models when access to the original training data is prohibited.
