Researchers have developed WaterKron, a novel method for post-training quantization that utilizes Kronecker-factored Hessian approximations. This approach combines two-sided GPTQ with waterfilling scales and entropy coding, introducing a factor $\Phi$ to quantify the distortion penalty of the Kronecker approximation. Minimizing this factor leads to a FlipFlop Hessian, which is justified by rate-distortion theory and empirically shown to improve KL divergence and perplexity compared to other Hessian approximation methods.
