Exploring Quantization for Efficient Pre-Training of Transformer Language Models

1 code implementation16 Jul 2024 Kamran Chitsaz, Quentin Fournier, Gonçalo Mordido, Sarath Chandar

While quantization has proven to be effective after pre-training and during fine-tuning, applying quantization in Transformers during pre-training has remained largely unexplored at scale for language modeling.

A Deep Dive into the Trade-Offs of Parameter-Efficient Preference Alignment Techniques

no code implementations7 Jun 2024 Megh Thakkar, Quentin Fournier, Matthew D Riemer, Pin-Yu Chen, Amal Zouaq, Payel Das, Sarath Chandar

Large language models are first pre-trained on trillions of tokens and then instruction-tuned or aligned to specific preferences.

Language Models for Novelty Detection in System Call Traces

no code implementations5 Sep 2023 Quentin Fournier, Daniel Aloise, Leandro R. Costa

Due to the complexity of modern computer systems, novel and unexpected behaviors frequently occur.

DepGraph: Localizing Performance Bottlenecks in Multi-Core Applications Using Waiting Dependency Graphs and Software Tracing

no code implementations8 Mar 2021 Naser Ezzati-Jivan, Quentin Fournier, Michel R. Dagenais, Abdelwahab Hamou-Lhadj

In this paper, we use a system level tracing approach to extract a Waiting Dependency Graph that shows the breakdown of a task execution among all the interleaving threads and resources.

Automatic Cause Detection of Performance Problems in Web Applications

no code implementations8 Mar 2021 Quentin Fournier, Naser Ezzati-Jivan, Daniel Aloise, Michel R. Dagenais

In this paper, we propose a method of extracting the internal behavior of web requests as well as introduce a pipeline that detects performance issues in web requests and provides insights into their root causes.
