Structured Pruning of Large Language Models via Power Transformation and Sign-Preserving Score Aggregation with Adaptive Feature Retention

This paper proposes an improved structured pruning method for large language models (LLMs) that addresses key challenges in adapting Adaptive Feature Retention (AFR), an unstructured pruning technique, to structured pruning. When applying AFR to structured pruning, three major problems arise: distribution mismatch between heterogeneous pruning scores, loss of sign information indicating optimization direction consistency, and influence of outliers. To address these issues, we propose a unified…
