Extremely low-bit quantization is critical for efficiently deploying Large Language Models (LLMs), yet it often leads to severe performance degradation at 2 bits and even at 4 bits (e.g., MXFP4). We present SignRoundV2, a post-training…

The Compressive Sensing (CS) framework aims to ease the burden on analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) by reducing the sampling rate required to acquire and stably recover sparse signals. Practical ADCs not only sample but also quantize each…

Data parallelism has become a dominant method to scale Deep Neural Network (DNN) training across multiple nodes. Since synchronizing a large number of gradients of the local model can be a bottleneck for large-scale distributed training,…
