嘉宾介绍
Song Han is an associate professor at MIT EECS. He received his PhD degree from Stanford University. He proposed the “Deep Compression” technique including pruning and quantization that is widely used for efficient AI computing, and “Efficient Inference Engine” that first brought weight sparsity to modern AI chips. He pioneered the TinyML research that brings deep learning to IoT devices, enabling learning on the edge (appeared on MIT home page). His team’s work on hardware-aware neural architecture search (once-for-all network) enables users to design, optimize, shrink and deploy AI models to resource-constrained hardware devices, receiving the first place in many low-power computer vision contests in flagship AI conferences. Song received best paper awards at ICLR and FPGA, faculty awards from Amazon, Facebook, NVIDIA, Samsung and SONY. Song was named “35 Innovators Under 35” by MIT Technology Review for his contribution on “deep compression” technique that “lets powerful artificial intelligence (AI) programs run more efficiently on low-power mobile devices.” Song received the NSF CAREER Award for “efficient algorithms and hardware for accelerated machine learning”, IEEE “AIs 10 to Watch: The Future of AI” award, and Sloan Research Fellowship.
报告简介
SmoothQuant and AWQ for LLM quantization
Professor Han will present TinyChat that allows on-device LLM inference on consumer-level GPUs such as RTX 4090 and Jetson Orin. The key technique includes SmoothQuant, an accurate and efficient post-training quantization for LLM, and AWQ, a tuning-free method for activation aware weight only quantization. TinyChat runs LLaMA2-7B at 8.7ms/token on RTX 4090 and 75.1ms/token on Jetson Orin. Aside from that, Professor Han will also delve into efficient on-device training techniques, including sparse udpate, quantization aware scaling, and tiny training engine that shifts the runtime computation to compile time, prunes the backward graph and sparsely updates the model. Using this engine, OPT-350M can be finetuned on a Jetson Nano at 13.5 tokens/s, compared to 0.7 tokens/s with native PyTorch.
