Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, but face significant challenges in widespread deployment due to their high runtime cost. In this paper, we introduce SeedLM, a novel post-training compression method that uses seeds of a pseudo-random generator to encode and compress model weights. Specifically, for each block of weights, we find a seed that is fed into a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) during inference to efficiently generate a random matrix.

We consider the problem of instance-optimal statistical estimation under the constraint of differential privacy where mechanisms must adapt to the difficulty of the input dataset. We prove a new instance specific lower bound using a new divergence and show it characterizes the local minimax optimal rates for private statistical estimation. We propose two new mechanisms that are universally instance-optimal for general estimation problems up to logarithmic factors.

Spoken language understanding research to date has generally carried a heavy text perspective. Most datasets are derived from text, which is then subsequently synthesized into speech, and most models typically rely on automatic transcriptions of speech. This is to the detriment of prosody--additional information carried by the speech signal beyond the phonetics of the words themselves and difficult to recover from text alone.
