Gradient Knows Best: Mixed-Precision Quantization via Gradient-Guided Bit Allocation for Super-Resolution

· 0 citations · 39 references

TL;DR

A novel PTQ-based MPQ framework tailored for SR models is proposed that outperforms existing PTQ-based methods by 1.26 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) on the Urban100 dataset and introduces a dynamic activation range normalization that alleviates the distributional imbalance caused by the absence of BN.

Sensitivity-Guided Mixed-Precision Post-Training Quantization for MambaVision

Hybrid vision backbones such as MambaVision combine convolutional layers, Mamba blocks (based on selective state space models), and self-attention within a single architecture. However, the heterogeneous operator composition of such models poses new challenges for post-training quantization (PTQ): uniform bit-width ass...

SoftWater: Class-Aware Rate Allocation for Softmax Quantization

Across five models from 1B to 32B, SoftWater outperforms the released WaterSIC quantizer at matched head rates on 59 of 60 test points, using none of that pipeline's refinements and cutting head-induced KL by $6.5\times$--$8.3\times at 2 bits.
