Abstract

Abstract

Abstract PQuantML is a new open-source, hardware-aware neural network model compression library tailored to end-to-end workflows. Motivated by the need to deploy performant models to environments with strict latency constraints, PQuantML simplifies training of compressed models by providing a unified interface to apply pruning and quantization, either jointly or individually. The library implements multiple pruning methods with different granularities, as well as fixed-point quantization with support for High-Granularity Quantization (HGQ). We evaluate PQuantML on the jet substructure classification task, so-called jet tagging, an on-edge problem related to real-time LHC data processing. Using various pruning methods with fixed-point quantization, PQuantML achieves substantial parameter and bit-width reductions while maintaining accuracy. We benchmark PQuantML’s pruning and fixed-point quantization against QKeras, and validate that its integrated HGQ algorithm implementation reproduces the standalone HGQ library results.
