  • 用子空间残差旋转实现分层量化,精度高
  • 在W4A4/W3A3下超越全局旋转方法
  • 无需在线计算,推理开销几乎为零

基于旋转的后训练量化(PTQ)成为缓解大语言模型量化中激活值异常的有效方案。全局旋转方法通过将旋转融合到注意力和前馈网络块中提升推理效率,但受限于全层共享单一可学习旋转矩阵,表达能力有限。分层变换方法虽通过局部自适应实现更高精度,却无法将旋转矩阵融合进权重,需在线计算,带来显著开销。本文提出ReSpinQuant,通过离线激活旋转融合与高效残差子空间旋转匹配,实现分层适配的高表达力与极低推理开销的统一。在W4A4和W3A3量化下的大量实验表明,ReSpinQuant达到当前最优性能,优于全局旋转方法,且在近乎零开销下逼近昂贵的分层方法精度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Rotation-based Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) has emerged as a promising solution for mitigating activation outliers in the quantization of Large Language Models (LLMs). Global rotation methods achieve inference efficiency by fusing activation rotations into attention and FFN blocks, but suffer from limited expressivity as they are constrained to use a single learnable rotation matrix across all layers. To tackle this, layer-wise transformation methods emerged, achieving superior accuracy through localized adaptation. However, layer-wise methods cannot fuse activation rotation matrices into weights, requiring online computations and causing significant overhead. In this paper, we propose ReSpinQuant, a quantization framework that resolves such overhead by leveraging offline activation rotation fusion and matching basis using efficient residual subspace rotation. This design reconciles the high expressivity of layer-wise adaptation with only negligible inference overhead. Extensive experiments on W4A4 and W3A3 quantization demonstrate that ReSpinQuant achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming global rotation methods and matching the accuracy of computationally expensive layer-wise methods with minimal overhead.
