Seminar: Pruning and Efficiency in LLMs

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable reasoning abilities, allowing them to generalize across a wide range of downstream tasks, such as commonsense reasoning or instruction following. However, as LLMs scale, inference costs become increasingly prohibitive, accumulating significantly over their life cycle. In this seminar we will dive into methods like quantization, pruning and knowledge distillation to optimize LLM inference. Please fill this interest form to participate in the seminar.

Course type: Seminar
Time Five slots, to be determined with all participants. Kick-off is likely on the 24th of October from 2-3pm
Location in-person; SR 04-007, building 106 
Organizers Rhea Sukthanker , Arbër Zela , Mahmoud Safari
Registration Via HISinOne (maximum nine students, registration opens 14th of October)
