AI总结:

VEQ通过模态自适应量化方法提升MoE视觉-语言模型的压缩性能,实现更高的准确率和鲁棒性。

摘要:

混合专家(MoE)视觉-语言模型(VLMs)提供了显著的性能,但带来了不可接受的内存和计算成本,因此压缩至关重要。后训练量化(PTQ)是一种有效的无训练技术,用于解决大规模内存和计算开销问题。现有量化范式存在不足,因为它们忽略了两种关键的异质性形式:视觉和语言标记之间的固有差异,以及不同专家的非均匀贡献。为弥补这一差距,我们提出了视觉专家量化(VEQ),一种双感知量化框架,旨在同时适应跨模态差异和专家之间的异质性。具体而言,VEQ包含1)模态专家感知量化,利用专家激活频率优先减少关键专家的误差,以及2)模态亲和力感知量化,通过整合标记-专家亲和力与模态信息构建增强的Hessian矩阵,以指导校准过程。在多样化的基准测试中,广泛实验验证了VEQ在各方面均优于最先进的基线。具体而言,在W3A16配置下,我们的方法在Kimi-VL上相比先前的SOTA量化方法实现了2.04%的平均准确率提升,在Qwen3-VL上实现了3.09%的提升,证明了其在各种多模态任务中的优越鲁棒性。我们的代码将在https://github.com/guangshuoqin/VEQ上提供。

英文摘要:

Mixture-of-Experts(MoE) Vision-Language Models (VLMs) offer remarkable performance but incur prohibitive memory and computational costs, making compression essential. Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) is an effective training-free technique to address the massive memory and computation overhead. Existing quantization paradigms fall short as they are oblivious to two critical forms of heterogeneity: the inherent discrepancy between vision and language tokens, and the non-uniform contribution of different experts. To bridge this gap, we propose Visual Expert Quantization (VEQ), a dual-aware quantization framework designed to simultaneously accommodate cross-modal differences and heterogeneity between experts. Specifically, VEQ incorporates 1)Modality-expert-aware Quantization, which utilizes expert activation frequency to prioritize error minimization for pivotal experts, and 2)Modality-affinity-aware Quantization, which constructs an enhanced Hessian matrix by integrating token-expert affinity with modality information to guide the calibration process. Extensive experiments across diverse benchmarks verify that VEQ consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines. Specifically, under the W3A16 configuration, our method achieves significant average accuracy gains of 2.04\% on Kimi-VL and 3.09\% on Qwen3-VL compared to the previous SOTA quantization methods, demonstrating superior robustness across various multimodal tasks. Our code will be available at https://github.com/guangshuoqin/VEQ.
