BALF: Budgeted Activation-Aware Low-Rank Factorization for Fine-Tuning-Free Model Compression

arXiv:2509. 25136v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Activation-aware low-rank factorization techniques yield strong compression results but are generally confined to linear layers, while existing whitening-based theory typically makes an implicit full-rank assumption on activations.
