New parameter-free expert routing method unveiled for MoE models

Researchers have introduced Self-Routing, a novel parameter-free method for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers that eliminates the need for a dedicated learned router. This approach directly utilizes a subspace of the token's hidden state to assign tokens to experts, simplifying the MoE architecture. Evaluations on language modeling and ImageNet-1K classification demonstrate that Self-Routing performs competitively with learned routers, offering more balanced expert utilization and removing routing parameters.

    Self-Routing: Parameter-Free Expert Routing from Hidden States

    arXiv:2604.00421v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers increase model capacity by activating only a small subset of experts per token, and typically rely on a learned router to map hidden states to expert assignments. In this work, we ask whether a de…
