Quantization, distillation, pruning and serving work aimed at the same accuracy for less memory, latency and money.
arXiv:2608. 14648v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this study, we revisit three widely used techniques in vector search and utilize them to optimize vector embedding indexing through clustering: dimensionality reduction, quantization, and dimension pruning.
arXiv:2603. 02830v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Predicting future student responses to questions is particularly valuable for educational learning platforms where it enables effective interventions.
arXiv:2608. 14624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems have emerged as an important deployment paradigm for AI services, where each user request is decomposed into a sequence of specialized agents.
arXiv:2608. 15383v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) language models reduce arithmetic by activating only a small subset of experts per token, yet deployment still requires storing and moving the full expert bank.
arXiv:2608. 15567v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Weight-only post-training quantization (PTQ) enables the deployment of large language models under tight memory budgets, but accuracy often collapses at 2-3 bits.
arXiv:2608. 14906v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Watermarking provides a principled way to authenticate text generated by large language models (LLMs).
arXiv:2608. 15306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-throughput single-cell and spatial transcriptomic technologies provide high-resolution snapshots of heterogeneous cellular states, but their destructive nature prevents repeated measurements of the same cells over time.
arXiv:2608. 15438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) indexes at billion scale is often dominated by expensive global clustering or graph construction, making time-to-index a first-order systems concern.
arXiv:2412. 04504v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) grow in popularity for their diverse capabilities, improving the efficiency of their inference systems has become increasingly critical.
arXiv:2608. 15065v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Reasoning Models produce diverse, sometimes inconsistent answers across repeated queries on the same problem, so multi-sample inference is a prerequisite for reliable deployment.
arXiv:2608. 14945v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) gives language agents dense token-level supervision from a privileged self-teacher on the policy's own trajectories.
arXiv:2608. 15145v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have been increasingly adopted in Text-to-SQL systems, yet SQL errors remain a major obstacle in real-world Text-to-SQL inference pipelines.
arXiv:2608. 14828v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning a language agent to several objectives at once is a persistent failure mode of preference-based training: when objectives are combined additively, optimization collapses onto whichever is cheapest to improve and sacrifices the rest, so a support agent learns to sound warm while giving no real help.
arXiv:2608. 15369v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lossy audio compression algorithms traditionally rely on psychoacoustic modeling and frequency-domain representations (e.
arXiv:2608. 15117v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analytical models of peak VRAM consumption for LLM inference decompose memory into weight-storage, KV-cache, and activation terms parameterized by step count, tool invocations, and context expansion.
arXiv:2608. 15602v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While binary quantization theoretically promises extreme compression and acceleration for Large Language Models (LLMs), existing research often overlooks the necessity of specialized hardware kernels, thus failing to unleash the full acceleration potential due to persistent reliance on expensive floating-point arithmetic or runtime dequantization overheads.
arXiv:2608. 15919v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation over knowledge graphs (Graph-RAG) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for grounding large language models in domain-specific corpora.
arXiv:2608. 16309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Static pruning is widely used to accelerate sparse neural retrieval, yet existing studies each validate their conclusions within a single custom pipeline, leaving it unclear which findings transfer to modern engines with different index organizations and dynamic pruning mechanisms.
arXiv:2608. 15592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient LLM serving is often bottlenecked by the need to pad sequences to a fixed maximum length, and this wastes compute and degrades throughput.
arXiv:2608. 14684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM judges increasingly evaluate responses against fine-grained rubric checklists.
