arXiv:2606.31456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With an increasing number of Object Detection (OD) models being deployed on edge devices, Zero-Shot Quantization for OD (ZSQ-OD) aims to quantize these models when access to the original training data is prohibited. Existing research on Zero-Shot Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) for OD synthesizes training sets through noise optimization. However, this approach struggles to maintain performance in low-bit regions. In this paper, we introduce GoodQ (Generative off-the-shelf models for object detector Quantization), a QAT pipeline that utilizes of
The proliferation of object detection models on edge devices necessitates efficient quantization, and the timing reflects ongoing advancements in zero-shot learning and generative AI for model optimization.
This development allows for more efficient deployment of AI models on resource-constrained edge devices without access to original training data, enhancing accessibility and reducing computational overhead.
The ability to quantize object detection models without original training data using off-the-shelf generative models makes AI deployment more flexible and less data-dependent, particularly in sensitive or proprietary contexts.

More powerful and efficient AI models become deployable on a wider range of edge devices.
This could accelerate the adoption of advanced AI in fields where data privacy or access is a significant constraint, such as defense or healthcare.
Increased efficiency in AI model deployment may further decentralize AI processing, impacting cloud computing demand and data center growth paradigms.
