EinSort: Sorting is All We Need for Tensorizing LLM
About
Tensor networks provide efficient representations for compressing large neural networks. By carefully designing shapes and topologies, they can significantly reduce memory and computational costs. However, identifying implicit low-rank structures in large foundation models remains challenging due to their enormous scale and un-structured weight distributions. We propose an adaptive tensorization method that discovers inherent low-rank structure in a target tensor by index ordering. Experiments on weight and KV-cache compression demonstrate improved reconstruction quality compared to baselines.
