Efficient Quantization of Mixture-of-Experts with Theoretical Generalization Guarantees

ICLR 2026poster

Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) allows scaling of language and vision models efficiently by activating only a small subset of experts per input. While this reduces computation, the large number of parameters still incurs substantial memory overhead during inference. Post-training quantization has be…

Analog Foundation Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Analog in-memory computing (AIMC) is a promising compute paradigm to improve speed and power efficiency of neural network inference beyond the limits of conventional von Neumann-based architectures. However, AIMC introduces fundamental challenges such as noisy computations and strict constraints on…

A Provably Effective Method for Pruning Experts in Fine-tuned Sparse Mixture-of-Experts

ICML 2024poster

The sparsely gated mixture of experts (MoE) architecture sends different inputs to different subnetworks (experts), through trainable routers. MoE reduces the training computation significantly for large models, but its deployment can be still memory/computation expensive for some downstream tasks.…

Ultra-Low Precision 4-bit Training of Deep Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2020oral

In this paper, we propose a number of novel techniques and numerical representation formats that enable, for the very first time, the precision of training systems to be aggressively scaled from 8-bits to 4-bits. To enable this advance, we explore a novel adaptive Gradient Scaling technique (Gradsca…
