Prefixing Attention Sinks can Mitigate Activation Outliers for Large Language Model Quantization (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in activation quantization methods cause outliers in tokens, causing extra overhead and speedup . a method to quantize per-tensor activation is currently challenging due to the outlier activation outlier. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to find a set of key-value cache which mitigates outliers in subsequent tokens when inserted as a prefix. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method surpasses the established baseline of per-tensor activation quantization and can be seamlessly integrated with the recent activation quantitative method. |
