Layer-wise Curriculum Learning for Efficient LLM Compression

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

In this paper, we introduce layer-wise curriculum learning for efficient LLM compression. The proposed method facilitates the knowledge transfer from the teacher model to the student model, utilizing a curriculum learning approach that begins with easier optimization tasks and progressively tackles harder ones. In order to adopt the layer-wise learning in LLM compression, we partition the whole model into multiple segments consisting of layers, thereby enabling more computationally efficient knowledge transfer for LLMs. Based on our theoretical analysis of cumulative error phenomenon, layer-wi
