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 $D \in \mathbb{R}^k$.

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.
