Research benchmarks trustworthiness of compressed vs. pre-trained small language models

A new arXiv paper explores the trustworthiness of small language models (SLMs) compared to their larger counterparts. The research indicates that while both pre-trained and compressed SLMs offer efficiency, compression techniques like quantization are more effective than pruning in preserving trustworthiness across dimensions such as fairness, robustness, privacy, and ethics. The study suggests that compressing reliable large models via quantization yields SLMs with superior trustworthiness and adaptability over those trained from scratch, with knowledge distillation from trustworthy teacher models further enhancing SLM reliability.
