Researchers have developed Generalized Fisher-Weighted SVD (GFWSVD), a novel technique for compressing large language models (LLMs). This method improves upon existing compression methods by accounting for both diagonal and off-diagonal elements of the Fisher information matrix, offering a more accurate reflection of parameter importance. GFWSVD utilizes a scalable adaptation of the Kronecker-factored approximation algorithm to make the process tractable for large models. In evaluations on the MMLU benchmark, GFWSVD demonstrated significant improvements over methods relying on diagonal approximations, outperforming FWSVD by 5 percent at a 20x compression rate. AI
