Title: Gradient Compression Beyond Low-Rank: Wavelet Subspaces Compact Optimizer States

Abstract:
arXiv:2501.07237v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown impressive performance across a range of natural language processing tasks. However, their vast number of parameters introduces significant memory challenges during training, particularly when using memory-intensive optimizers like Adam. Existing memory-efficient algorithms often rely on techniques such as singular value decomposition projection or weight freezing. While these approaches help allevi
