NumericJev: Jev-like LLM Numerical Decoding with Multiway Decision Trees

Read the original on arXiv AI →

NumericJev introduces a training‑free numerical decoding algorithm that allows large language models with Jev‑like structured‑choice interfaces to output precise numerical values. The method refines a numerical range using a multiway decision tree, achieving lower mean absolute error than direct selection from a candidate list. Experiments on an arithmetic benchmark show a 2.93 percentage‑point improvement, and a historical‑index study reports a 4.58% mean relative recall error with zero readout error when the value is supplied.

GAMMA: Global Bit Allocation for Mixed-Precision Models under Arbitrary Budgets

GAMMA is a post‑training framework that learns module‑wise precision preferences for mixed‑precision quantization of large language models. It optimizes a teacher‑forced hidden‑state reconstruction objective under an augmented Lagrangian constraint and then projects the learned preferences into exact budget‑feasible discrete assignments via integer programming. Because the learned preferences encode a stable sensitivity ranking, a single training run can be reused for any deployment budget, reducing per‑budget adaptation from hours to minutes and outperforming fixed‑precision baselines and search‑based methods on Llama and Qwen models.
