Expert Routing for Communication-Efficient MoE via Finite Expert Banks

ArXi:2605.05278v1 Announce Type: new Resource-efficient machine learning increasingly uses sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, where the gate acts as both a learning component and a routing interface controlling computation, communication, and accuracy. Motivated by finite-rate interpretations of MoE gating, we treat the gate as a stochastic channel and use $I(X;T)$ to quantify the routing information available to the selected expert.
