Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to minimize error in quantized matrix multiplication. The study, published on arXiv, introduces a nuclear-norm lower bound for dithered scalar quantization, providing a method to optimize product-preserving transformations. This approach aims to reduce quantization errors by adjusting factor ranges and grid steps without altering the final matrix product. The paper demonstrates that specific constructions, such as those aligned with Hadamard matrices or discrete cosine transforms, can achieve or closely approximate this bound, offering practical implications for efficient matrix operations.
