IntBMoE: Integrating Block-Level Conditioning into Expert Composition for Full-Participation Mixture-of-Experts
Summary
IntBMoE introduces block‑level conditioning to MoE, decoupling token participation, compute execution, and memory materialization. A hypernetwork merges all experts into a composed expert per block, while routing remains sparse. Dual‑Path Residual Gating further mixes two composed paths. Experiments show consistent gains on vision, language, and recommendation tasks, and the model is live in AMap…
- Full token participation is achieved without dense compute by composing experts per block via a learned codebook.
- Sparse routing limits execution cost; materialization is bounded by the fixed codebook size.
- Dual‑Path Residual Gating (DPRG) multiplies two independently composed expert paths for richer representations.
- Empirical results: +0.5‑1.2 % top‑1 accuracy on ImageNet‑like benchmarks vs. sparse/dense MoE baselines; language modeling perplexity improvements; 2.4 % UVCTR lift in production recommendation under 60 ms latency.
MoE scaling traditionally trades off between compute, memory, and the number of experts a token sees. IntBMoE’s block‑conditioned composition breaks this trade‑off, enabling high‑capacity models that stay cheap to run and fit in memory—critical for latency‑sensitive, high‑traffic services like reco…
