TENP: Trapezoidal Expert Neuron Pruning For Mixture-of-Experts

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 09885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts large language models (LLMs) scale efficiently through sparse activation, yet their deployment is fundamentally constrained by the large static parameter footprint of experts.

The Sparsity Whisperer

arXiv:2608. 06630v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pruning reduces the inference cost of large language models, but existing criteria primarily preserve large activations or reconstruct layer outputs.

AIMER: Calibration-Free Task-Agnostic MoE Expert Pruning

arXiv:2603. 18492v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models increase parameter capacity without proportional per-token computation, yet deployment still requires storing the full expert pool, making expert pruning important for reducing memory and serving overhead.

NIRVANA: Structured Pruning Reimagined for Large Language Model Compression

arXiv:2509. 14230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While structured pruning presents a highly effective pathway for accelerating Large Language Model (LLM) inference, existing methods frequently suffer from significant performance degradation and demand computationally retraining to recover capabilities.
