Tensorization is a powerful but underexplored tool for compression and interpretability of neural networks

The paper discusses tensorizing neural networks by reshaping dense weight matrices into higher-order tensors and approximating them with low-rank tensor network decompositions. This approach offers promising model compression and introduces bond indices that create new latent spaces, potentially enhancing interpretability. Despite encouraging empirical results, tensorized neural networks remain underused, and the authors call for more research to address practical scaling and adoption challenges.

Tensor Methods for Language Models: From Token Representation to Training, Adaptation, Inference, Compression, and Interpretability

This survey reviews tensor methods applied to large language models, framing them through a seven‑stage lifecycle (tokenization, embeddings, pre‑training, adaptation, compression, inference, interpretability) and a component view (embeddings, attention, feed‑forward networks). It offers unified notation, theoretical foundations, and comparative analyses of tensorization strategies for Transformer components, while highlighting evaluation protocol differences and model scale effects. The paper also introduces a new metric, ρ_gap, to quantify the gap between theoretical memory savings and actual system‑level speedup, and connects tensor techniques to related efficiency and probabilistic methods.
