Rethinking Thinking Tokens: LLMs as Improvement Operators

ICML 2026poster

Reasoning training incentivizes LLMs to produce long chains of thought (long CoT), which among other things, allows them to explore solution strategies with self-checking. This results in higher accuracy, but inflates context length, token/compute cost, and answer latency. We ask: Can current models…

CTRL-O: Language-Controllable Object-Centric Visual Representation Learning

CVPR 2025poster

Object-centric representation learning aims to decompose visual scenes into fixed-size vectors called "slots" or "object files", where each slot captures a distinct object. Current state-of-the-art object-centric models have shown remarkable success in object discovery in diverse domains including c…

Representation Learning in Deep RL via Discrete Information Bottleneck

AISTATS 2023poster

Several self-supervised representation learning methods have been proposed for reinforcement learning (RL) with rich observations. For real world applications of RL, recovering underlying latent states is crucial, particularly when sensory inputs can contain irrelevant and exogenous information. In…

Augmenting NLP models using Latent Feature Interpolations

COLING 2020main

Models with a large number of parameters are prone to over-fitting and often fail to capture the underlying input distribution. We introduce Emix, a data augmentation method that uses interpolations of word embeddings and hidden layer representations to construct virtual examples. We show that Emix…
