This makes them hard to run on phones and other constrained hardware. Earlier quantization work kept accuracy at 8 bits. Going lower usually needed mixed precision, which some hardware handles poorly, or product… 2. **[BinaryBERT: Pushing the Limit of BERT Quantization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bai-2021-binarybert-pushing-limit-bert-quantization/)** *(2021 · 165 citations)* Large pre-trained language models are hard to run on edge devices, and quantization shrinks them without redesigning the architecture. ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Lifeng Shang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lifeng-shang/) ×2 - [Lu Hou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lu-hou/) ×2 - [Qun Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qun-liu/) ×2 - [Xin Jiang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-jiang/) ×2 - [Michael R.
