6 research directions / status visible

Research with
clear boundaries.

ATLAS studies the relationship between model capability and computational cost. Each direction distinguishes objective, proposal, current state, and evidence.

MODEL EFFICIENCY/ 01
Experimental

Model Quantization

Reducing numerical precision while preserving useful signal.

Research objective

Study how lower-precision representations can reduce memory and compute requirements without treating quality loss as an acceptable default.

Problem definition

A single precision choice can hide layer-level sensitivity. Uniform compression may save memory while creating avoidable degradation in the most informative parts of a model.

Proposed approach

Build a measurement-first quantization layer that separates representation choice, calibration, and verification. The system is designed to make every trade-off observable rather than assume a universal bit-width.

Mathematical foundation

x → Q(x; s, z), with scale s and optional zero-point z. The error term ε = x − Q(x) remains an explicit object for downstream analysis.

Architecture

Calibration → sensitivity map → candidate representation → reconstruction check

Current development status

Research direction defined; validated benchmark data not yet published.

Experimental results

No verified public result is attached to this project yet.

Future work

Compare layer-wise, channel-wise, and activation-aware policies under a shared evaluation protocol.

RESEARCH PRINCIPLES

Measure the gap
before closing it.

01

Separate what is implemented from what is proposed.

02

Keep quality, memory, and latency as distinct signals.

03

Publish only what another researcher can inspect.
