Abstract:
Tensor networks provide efficient representations for compressing large neural networks. By care- fully 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 unstructured 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.
