APT: Adaptive Pruning and Tuning Pretrained Language Models for Efficient Training and Inference

## News
- [2024/01/22] Our paper is now on arXiv! Check it out [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12200).
- [2024/05/01] [APT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12200) is accepted by ICML 2024 as **oral presentation**!

## Overview
![The APT framework](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ROIM1998/APT/master/figures/APT_arch.png)
We propose APT, a methodology that **A**daptively selects model parameters for **P**runing and fine-**T**uning. APT combines the benefits of PEFT and structured pruning to make fine-tuning and inference more efficient.

### How APT Works
Our intuition is that pretrained language model (LM) parameters contain general knowledge, but their importance to downstream tasks varies. Therefore, we can remove the parameters irrelevant to the fine-tuning task in the early training stage. Early-removing these parameters improves training and inference efficiency while not substantially hurting model accuracy. Meanwhile, continuously adding more parameters for fine-tuning can improve LM performance because task-specific skills live in a subset of LM parameters.

Based on this setup, we find that using **self-distillation** where the main parameters between the teacher and student models are shared can vasly prune small LMs with high end-task performance retained. Meanwhile, considering **in-block outliers by calculating kurtosis** when pruning large LMs before training can accurately prune them with less training memory footprint.
