TILOS Seminar: Optimal Quantization for LLMs and Matrix Multiplication
HDSI 123 and Virtual 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United StatesYury Polyanskiy, MIT Abstract: The main building block of large language models is matrix multiplication, which is often bottlenecked by the speed of loading these matrices from memory. A number of recent quantization algorithms (SmoothQuant, GPTQ, QuIP, SpinQuant etc) address this issue by storing matrices in lower precision. We derive optimal asymptotic information-theoretic tradeoff between […]

TILOS-HDSI Seminar with Adam Klivans (UT Austin): A New Paradigm for Learning with Distribution Shift
HDSI 123 and Virtual 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United StatesAdam Klivans, The University of Texas at Austin Abstract: We revisit the fundamental problem of learning with distribution shift, where a learner is given labeled samples from training distribution D, unlabeled samples from test distribution D′ and is asked to output a classifier with low test error. The standard approach in this setting is to […]

Optimization for ML and AI Seminar with Courtney Paquette (McGill University): High-dimensional Optimization with Applications to Compute-Optimal Neural Scaling Laws
CSE 1242 and Virtual 3235 Voigt Dr, La Jolla, CA, United StatesCourtney Paquette, McGill University Abstract: Given the massive scale of modern ML models, we now only get a single shot to train them effectively. This restricts our ability to test multiple architectures and hyper-parameter configurations. Instead, we need to understand how these models scale, allowing us to experiment with smaller problems and then apply those […]
