Double sparse pruning

Code for the ICLR 2025 paper: Two Sparse Matrices are Better than One: Sparsifying Neural Networks with Double Sparse Factorization.

The repository is based on SparseGPT code

Dependencies

• torch: tested on v2.2.1
• transformers: tested on v4.35.2
• datasets: tested on v2.16.1

Usage

We also provide LLaMA pruning script with the very same interface:

# Sparsify LLaMa with SparseGPT
python llama.py meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf c4 --sparsity 0.5

Other experiments

For replicating other experiments (comparision with OBC a post-training pruning with finetuning) see other_experiments directory.
