ExTernD: Expanded-Rank Ternary Decomposition Ternary LLM PTQ with Accuracy Appro

We introduce ExTernD (Expanded-rank Ternary Decomposition), a post-training factorization of each LLM weight matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ into $A \approx B \mathrm{diag}(D) C$ with ternary factors $B \in \{-1,0,+1\}^{m \times k}$,
