- UPop: Unified and Progressive Pruning for Compressing Vision-Language Transformers
- A Simple and Effective Pruning Approach for Large Language Models - The popular approach known as magnitude pruning removes the smallest weights in a network based on the assumption that weights closest to 0 can be set to 0 with the least impact on performance. In LLMs, the magnitudes of a subset of outputs from an intermediate layer may be up to 20x larger than those of other outputs of the same layer. Removing the weights that are multiplied by these large outputs — even weights close to zero — could significantly degrade performance. Thus, a pruning technique that considers both weights and intermediate-layer outputs can accelerate a network with less impact on performance. Why it matters: The ability to compress models without affecting their performance is becoming more important as mobiles and personal computers become powerful enough to run them.

Parallelism
- Does compressing activations help model parallel training? (2023) - They presents the first empirical study on the effectiveness of compression algorithms (pruning-based, learning-based, and quantization-based - using a Transformer architecture) to improve the communication speed of model parallelism. **Summary:** 1) activation compression not equal to gradient compression; 2) training setups matter a lot; 3) don't compress early layers' activation.

- 🤗 PEFT: Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning of Billion-Scale Models on Low-Resource Hardware (2023) - The Hugging Face PEFT library enables using the most popular and performant models from Transformers coupled with the simplicity and scalability of Accelerate. Currently supported PEFT methods: LoRA, prefix tuning, prompt tuning, and P-Tuning (which employs trainable continuous prompt embeddings). They'll be exploring more PEFT methods, such as (IA)3 and bottleneck adapters. Results: The number of parameters needed to fine-tune Flan-T5-XXL is now 9.4M, about 7X fewer than AlexNet (source: [Tweet](https://twitter.com/dmvaldman/status/1624143468003221504)).
