Don't Compress Gradients in Random Reshuffling: Compress Gradient Differences

NeurIPS 2024poster

Gradient compression is a popular technique for improving communication complexity of stochastic first-order methods in distributed training of machine learning models. However, the existing works consider only with-replacement sampling of stochastic gradients. In contrast, it is well-known in pract…

Error Feedback Reloaded: From Quadratic to Arithmetic Mean of Smoothness Constants

ICLR 2024poster

Error feedback (EF) is a highly popular and immensely effective mechanism for fixing convergence issues which arise in distributed training methods (such as distributed GD or SGD) when these are enhanced with greedy communication compression techniques such as Top-k. While EF was proposed almost a d…

PV-Tuning: Beyond Straight-Through Estimation for Extreme LLM Compression

NeurIPS 2024oral

There has been significant interest in "extreme" compression of large language models (LLMs), i.e. to 1-2 bits per parameter, which allows such models to be executed efficiently on resource-constrained devices. Existing work focused on improved one-shot quantization techniques and weight represent…
