Researchers have developed a method to study spectral perturbations of the empirical Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) when model parameters are quantized. The study proposes using the dominant eigenvalue of the FIM as a runtime monitoring statistic for deployed language models. This statistic, sigma_t, can indicate deviations from a reference manifold and the impact of quantization, with experimental results showing a significant increase in sigma_t for a 4-bit quantized model compared to its full-precision estimate.
