Researchers have analyzed the generalization behavior of the OPTQ algorithm for neural network compression, focusing on its progressive quantization of weights to minimize squared error. They derived bounds for the expected squared error when test points are drawn from a fixed distribution, relating generalization error to calibration dataset error and bounding stochastic OPTQ's error for various distributions. The study highlights the crucial role of the regularization term \lambda and proposes a new recommendation for its selection, which shows favorable experimental results compared to previous literature.
