Model-Preserving Adaptive Rounding

arXiv:2505. 22988v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The goal of quantization is to produce a compressed model whose output distribution is as close to the original model's as possible.

Stochastic Rounding Increases Small Singular Values

arXiv:2606. 00312v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the past half-dozen years, stochastic rounding (SR) has regained significant attention as a quantization scheme for low-precision floating-point arithmetic, with applications spanning numerical analysis and modern machine learning systems.

ExTernD: Expanded-Rank Ternary Decomposition Ternary LLM PTQ with Accuracy Approaching Any Quantization Level

arXiv:2607. 13511v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce ExTernD (Expanded-rank Ternary Decomposition), a post-training factorization of each LLM weight matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ into $A \approx B \mathrm{diag}(D) C$ with ternary factors $B \in \{-1,0,+1\}^{m \times k}$, $C \in \{-1,0,+1\}^{k \times n}$ and a real scale vector $D \in \mathbb{R}^k$.

Fast Length-Squared Sampling for Positive-Semidefinite Matrices

arXiv:2608. 12503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe a simple rejection-sampling-based algorithm to perform length-squared sampling on an $n \times n$ positive-semidefinite (psd) matrix: that is, to sample a column with probability proportional to its squared $\ell_2$-norm.
