Contents

1. Example Notebooks

This folder includes Jupyter notebooks that provide detailed examples and explanations of key optimization techniques:

• Knowledge Distillation: Learn how to transfer knowledge from a larger teacher model to a smaller student model.
• Low Rank Approximation: Explore techniques for reducing the rank of model weight matrices to save memory and computation.
• Model Pruning: Understand strategies to remove unnecessary parameters from a model to improve efficiency.
• Model Quantization: Discover methods to reduce model size and increase inference speed by lowering numerical precision.

2. Pruning Homework

• Pruning Homework.ipynb: A hands-on Jupyter notebook exercise focused on implementing and understanding model pruning.

3. Quantization Homework

• input.py: A Python script designed to accompany the quantization homework, serving as a starting point for further experimentation.
