Transformers achieve strong accuracy but incur high compute and memory cost. Structured pruning reduces inference cost, but most methods rely on retraining or multi-stage optimization, which limits post-training deployment. We propose CORP,…

Random backpropagation (RBP) is a variant of the backpropagation algorithm for training neural networks, where the transpose of the forward matrices are replaced by fixed random matrices in the calculation of the weight updates. It is…

Fine-tuning and inference with large Language Models (LM) are generally known to be expensive. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning over pretrained LMs reduces training memory by updating a small number of LM parameters but does not improve…
