abstract
We rigorously evaluate three state-of-the-art techniques for inducing sparsity in deep neural networks on two large-scale learning tasks: Transformer trained on WMT 2014 English-to-German, and ResNet-50 trained on ImageNet. Across thousands of experiments, we demonstrate that complex techniques (Molchanov et al., 2017; Louizos et al., 2017b) shown to yield high compression rates on smaller datasets perform inconsistently, and that simple magnitude pruning approaches achieve comparable or better results. Additionally, we replicate the experiments performed by (Frankle & Carbin, 2018) and (Liu et al., 2018) at scale and show that unstructured sparse architectures learned through pruning cannot be trained from scratch to the same test set performance as a model trained with joint sparsification and optimization. Together, these results highlight the need for large-scale benchmarks in the field of model compression. We open-source our code, top performing model checkpoints, and results of all hyperparameter configurations to establish rigorous baselines for future work on compression and sparsification.

EAGLE resolves feature-level uncertainty in speculative sampling via one-step token advancement, delivering 2.7x-3.5x speedup on LLaMA2-Chat 70B and doubled throughput across multiple model families and tasks.
SparseForge achieves 57.27% zero-shot accuracy on LLaMA-2-7B at 2:4 sparsity using only 5B retraining tokens, beating the dense baseline and nearly matching a 40B-token SOTA method.
PaLM 540B demonstrates continued scaling benefits by setting new few-shot SOTA results on hundreds of benchmarks and outperforming humans on BIG-bench.
Arbitrary heterogeneous fan-in profiles in sparse networks match uniform random accuracy at high sparsity, but initializing RigL dynamic sparse training with equilibrium-matched lognormal profiles improves performance by up to 0.49% on classification tasks.
