Compression Trinity: Exploring Sparsity, Quantization, and Low-Rank Approximations for LLM Compression

  • 三法合一:稀疏化、量化与低秩近似联合应用,突破单一压缩瓶颈。
  • 训练加速1.85倍,推理提速1.38倍,精度反超未压缩模型0.6%。
  • 适合追求高效部署的大模型研发者,尤其关注算力与能效的团队。

大型语言模型(LLMs)的计算与环境成本阻碍了其规模化部署。传统压缩方法(稀疏性、量化、低秩近似)通常单独使用,且各自达到性能-效率的瓶颈。本文提出「压缩三重奏」框架,协同应用三者:稀疏性降低计算量,量化减少内存带宽,低秩近似恢复精度。为加速预训练,将三重奏应用于优化器与模型结构:MKOR通过块对角稀疏与低秩逆逼近曲率,将更新复杂度从$O(d^3)$降至$O(d^2)$,收敛速度提升1.85倍;SLoPe通过双剪枝反向传播实现N:M稀疏,最后1%训练中用低秩“懒惰”适配器恢复精度,训练提速1.25倍。后训练压缩方面,OPTIMA在零训练下通过全局最优列级二次规划重建权重,零样本精度提升3.97%;给定微调预算时,PATCH学习0%-50%动态混合稀疏比,实现1.38倍加速。最终,SLiM一次性实现完整三重奏,通过数学推导的低秩适配器恢复量化与稀疏损失的信息,精度提升5.66%,在同等参数量下优于未压缩模型0.6%。结果表明,三者协同是实现高效、可扩展、高性能大模型的关键。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Prohibitive computational and environmental costs impede the scalable deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs). Traditional compression techniques (sparsity, quantization, low-rank approximations) are typically applied in isolation, and each hits an accuracy-efficiency wall. This thesis proposes the "Compression Trinity," a unified framework that applies the three pillars jointly: sparsity to reduce computation, quantization to minimize memory bandwidth, and low-rank approximations to recover accuracy. To accelerate pretraining, we apply the Trinity to the optimizer and model architecture. MKOR approximates curvature via block-diagonal sparsity and low-rank inversion, maintaining numerical stability for quantized states; it reduces curvature update complexity from $O(d^3)$ to $O(d^2)$ and accelerates convergence by up to 1.85x over KFAC. SLoPe accelerates training by up to 1.25x via a double-pruned backward pass for N:M sparsity, using low-rank "lazy" adapters in the final 1% of training to recover accuracy. For post-training compression, OPTIMA stabilizes static masks in a zero-training regime by formulating weight reconstruction as globally optimal column-wise quadratic programs, improving zero-shot accuracy by up to 3.97%. Given a fine-tuning budget, PATCH breaks the ceiling of static masks by learning a dynamic hybrid sparsity ratio between 0% and 50%, yielding up to 1.38x speedups. Finally, SLiM realizes the full Compression Trinity in one shot, using mathematically derived low-rank adapters to recover information lost to quantization and sparsity, improving accuracy by up to 5.66% over state-of-the-art methods and outperforming uncompressed dense models at equal parameter budgets by 0.6%. Together, these results show that jointly applying the Compression Trinity is essential for efficient, scalable, high-performance LLMs.
