Enhancing Autoregressive Decoding Efficiency: A Machine Learning Approach

Introduction

Central to Natural Language Processing (NLP) advancements are large language models (LLMs), which have set new benchmarks for what machines can achieve in understanding and generating human language. However, the computational demand for autoregressive decoding in LLMs presents challenges for real-time applications or devices with limited processing capabilities.

Current Methodologies and Challenges

Current methodologies to address the computational intensity of LLMs involve model compression techniques and knowledge distillation. However, these approaches often compromise the model’s performance or fail to reduce the computational costs significantly.

The Hybrid Approach

Researchers have introduced a novel hybrid approach, combining LLMs with SLMs to optimize the efficiency of autoregressive decoding. This method employs a pretrained LLM to encode input prompts in parallel, then conditions an SLM to generate the subsequent response, resulting in a substantial reduction in decoding time without significantly sacrificing performance.

Results and Implications

The proposed hybrid approach achieved substantial speedups of up to 4Γ—, with minor performance penalties of 1 βˆ’ 2% for translation and summarization tasks compared to the LLM. This approach maintains high-performance levels and significantly reduces computational demands, showcasing a promising direction for future advancements in the field.
