contents Large deep learning models have achieved remarkable success but are resource-intensive, posing challenges such as memory usage. We introduce CURing, a novel model compression method based on CUR matrix decomposition, which approximates weight matrices as the product of selected columns (C) and rows (R), and a small linking matrix (U). We apply this decomposition to weights chosen based on the combined influence of their magnitudes and activations. By identifying and retaining informative rows and columns, CURing significantly reduces model size with minimal performance loss. For example, it reduces Llama3.1-8B's parameters to 7.32B (-9%) in just 129 seconds, over 20 times faster than prior compression methods.
