Explain This, Pruner! The Effect of Zero-Order Pruning on LLM Explainability and Curvature

An investigation of the effect of model compression on AI interpretability. Read our paper in The Harvard Undergraduate Research Journal.

Large Motion Diffusion Models

Training and evaluation of diffusion models on the AddBiomechanics dataset for generating sequences of human motion. Find our lightning talk at the 2025 Harvard Generative AI Symposium here.

Prune As You Tune: LoRA-Enabled Model Compression

Prune As You Tune (PAYT) interleaves pruning of pre-trained parameters with LoRA fine-tuning updates guided by a custom knowledge distillation loss function. PAYT can achieve up to 50% sparsity with minimal accuracy degradation and lower perplexity on the original task compared to baselines like full fine-tuning and prune-then-fine-tune.
