Don't Drop Dropout: Optimizing Layer Sparsity for Efficient LLM Training and Inference

ICML 2026poster

Layer dropout (a.k.a.\ stochastic depth) has been shown to enable faster training, higher accuracy, and robustness to zero-shot layer pruning in both language and vision transformers. However, as models and datasets have scaled, dropout---particularly layer dropout---has largely disappeared from LLM…

Guaranteed Guess: A Language Modeling Approach for CISC-to-RISC Transpilation with Testing Guarantees

EMNLP 2025

The hardware ecosystem is rapidly evolving, with increasing interest in translating low-level programs across different *instruction set architectures* (ISAs) in a quick, flexible, and correct way to enhance the portability and longevity of existing code. A particularly challenging class of this tra

Guess & Sketch: Language Model Guided Transpilation

ICLR 2024poster

Maintaining legacy software requires many software and systems engineering hours. Assembly code programs, which demand low-level control over the computer machine state and have no variable names, are particularly difficult for humans to analyze. Existing conventional program translators guarantee c…

Hardware Resilience Properties of Text-Guided Image Classifiers

NeurIPS 2023poster

This paper presents a novel method to enhance the reliability of image classification models during deployment in the face of transient hardware errors. By utilizing enriched text embeddings derived from GPT-3 with question prompts per class and CLIP pretrained text encoder, we investigate their imp…
