Computer Science > Machine Learning arXiv:2607.08779 (cs) [Submitted on 12 Jun 2026] Title:Signed Symmetric Quantization for Few-Bit Integers Authors:Ian Colbert, Eashan Dash, Pablo Monteagudo-Lago, Juan Amboage, Srinidhi N, Giuseppe Franco, Nicholas J. Fraser, Arun Ramachandran View a PDF of the paper titled Signed Symmetric Quantization for Few-Bit Integers, by Ian Colbert and 7 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The signed integer alphabet contains one more negative representable value than positive. Yet, by convention, the standard symmetric integer quantizer fixes its scale to be strictly positive, which assigns this extra representable value to the negative tail and can force clipping of positive outliers.
