Researchers have developed three techniques for compressing neural network weights using vector quantization (VQ). Their approach uses cosine similarity for assignment and top-1 sampling with a straight-through estimator to avoid codebook collapse and enable end-to-end training. They also explored using differentiable neural architecture search to adaptively select layer-wise quantization settings for further optimization. While not universally superior, the method offers valuable insights into VQ-based compression trade-offs. AI
