PALS: Percentile-Aware Layerwise Sparsity for LLM Pruning

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 07557v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One-shot pruning methods like Wanda and SparseGPT apply the same sparsity ratio to every layer of a transformer, ignoring known variation in layer importance.

Finding Sparse Subnetworks in One Training Cycle via Progressive Magnitude-Based Pruning

Neural network pruning reduces model size by removing less important parameters while aiming to preserve predictive performance. Although the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (LTH) shows that sparse subnetworks can match dense networks when trained from suitable initializations, its iterative pruning procedure requires multiple complete training cycles.
