Need arXiv cs.LG endorsement — AutoCompress: Autonomous LLM Compression (Independent Researcher)
Hugging Face Forums [Unofficial]
March 21, 2026
Hi HuggingFace community!
I’m Archit Thorat, an independent researcher from India.
I need an arXiv cs.LG endorsement for my first paper.
Paper: “AutoCompress: Autonomous Compression of Small
Language Models via Critical Layer Isolation”
Key finding: Layer 0 in small transformers carries ~98%
of task-critical information — consistent across 6-layer
and 16-layer models.
This motivated Critical Layer Isolation (CLI):
* Layer 0 runs at full capacity
* All other layers compressed to shared bottleneck dim
* Result: 34.8% compression matching baseline quality
All experiments done on free Colab T4 GPU overnight.
Zero paid compute.
Would anyone be willing to endorse my submission?

Thank you so much!
Archit
