Projects

Master Thesis
PEFT methods applied to Quantized LLMs

Explored the integration of Quantization and Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods to optimize LLM finetuning. While Quantization reduces memory and computational demands by compressing model parameters, PEFT minimizes the number of parameters updated during fine-tuning. Experimental results demonstrate that certain Quantization and PEFT pairings enable substantial improvements in memory efficiency and computational performance, paving the way for practical deployment of LLMs in resource-constrained environments.
