Less is More: Lightweight Prompt Compression for Question Answering Applications on Edge Devices

Short summary

CORE is a lightweight prompt compression method for RAG-based QA systems that eliminates auxiliary language models, using named entity recognition and semantic matching. It achieves 30% accuracy gains and 50%+ memory reduction on edge devices like smartphones and Jetson boards. Energy consumption drops 96% compared to existing methods, making it practical for mobile deployment.

  • Two-stage compression using NER and semantic matching—no auxiliary models needed
  • 30% accuracy improvement, 50%+ memory reduction, 2x speedup on edge devices
  • 96% energy reduction on smartphones vs. LLMLingua2
