• Abstract: Neural network weights are increasingly a bottleneck for deployment, yet most compression pipelines treat layers independently and overlook cross-layer redundancy induced by function-preserving symmetries. We propose Motion-Compensated Weight Compression (MCWC), a weight-only codec that aligns permutation-symmetric blocks (e.g., hidden units and attention heads) to maximize cross-layer correspondence, turning depth into a predictable sequence. In the aligned coordinate system, MCWC uses a lightweight layer-sequential predictor with periodic keyframes and encodes only quantized prediction residuals using a learned entropy model trained under a rate distortion objective. A simple decoder reconstructs deployable weights by entropy decoding, dequantization, predictor-driven reconstruction, and inverse alignment, enabling fast weight materialization for inference. Across Transformer language modeling and vision classification, MCWC improves the rate accuracy Pareto frontier over strong quantization and learned weight-codec baselines, while maintaining competitive decode time. Ablations confirm that alignment, prediction, entropy modeling, and keyframe scheduling are each necessary for the full gains. Our code is available via https://github.com/Ism-ail11/MCWC.

  This paper introduces Error-Bounded Predictive Coding ( EPC), a lossy text that leverages a Masked Language Model (MLM) as a decompressor.<n>Instead of storing a subset of original tokens, EPC allows the model to predict masked content and stores minimal, rank-based corrections only when the model's top prediction is incorrect.<n>We demonstrate that EPC consistently dominates Predictive Masking, offering superior fidelity at a significantly lower bit rate by more efficiently utilising the model's intrinsic knowledge.
