Researchers have developed new methods for neural network quantization, a process that reduces the memory and computational requirements of AI models. The first paper introduces BaKron, an efficient solver that uses Kronecker-factored Hessian approximations to improve quantization accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency comparable to existing methods like GPTQ. The second paper proposes Normalization Affine Preconditioning (NAP), which targets a specific subspace of parameters (normalization affine parameters) to significantly enhance quantization robustness, particularly for compact networks, outperforming traditional full-parameter training approaches.
