Can Quantization Reduce Separability?

1 minute read

Published:

I was recently experimenting with the linear separability of embeddings, and showed a graph which indicated the embeddings were substantially more linearly separable than the quantized embeddings. One person commented that this didn’t make sense, and the quantized vectors should be as separable as the non-quantized vectors. That didn’t seem right to me, but on the spot I couldn’t think of a trivial counter example. In this blog, I present two.
