Uncertainty Makes It Stable: Curiosity-Driven Quantized Mixture-of-Experts

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a curiosity‑driven quantized Mixture‑of‑Experts framework that routes inputs based on Bayesian epistemic uncertainty across heterogeneous experts (BitNet ternary, 1‑16 bit BitLinear, post‑training quantization). On audio classification benchmarks, 4‑bit quantization preserves 99.9 % of full‑precision F1 while achieving 4× compression and 31 % energy savings, and curiosity‑driven routing further improves accuracy and reduces cross‑fold variance by up to 85 %. The routing is self‑organizing, allocating the most uncertain samples to the high‑precision expert, and the method demonstrates statistical parity with full precision across datasets.

RAMP: Robust Adaptive Mixed-Precision Quantization for Edge CPU Vision Models

The paper introduces RAMP, a method for robust adaptive mixed‑precision quantization of vision models on edge CPUs. It evaluates 13 sensitivity metrics across four neural networks, finding that Jensen‑Shannon Divergence consistently identifies layers that can be safely quantized. Using K‑Means clustering on these metrics, RAMP achieves near‑lossless accuracy with an average 1.81× speed‑up, while cautioning against excluding low‑speed‑up layers that can fragment the computational graph.

Same Predictions, Different Reasons: The Effect of Quantization on Model Explanations

Post-training quantization (PTQ) has become a practical solution for deploying deep learning models on resource-constrained edge devices by compressing high-precision floating-point weights into low-precision representations without requiring retraining. Past research has demonstrated that quantization largely preserves classification accuracy; however, whether it also preserves the model's internal reasoning remains an open question.
