Agentic Collaboration as an Information Bottleneck Problem

ICLR 2026poster

Agentic language model (LM) systems have rapidly become central to modern workflows, powering applications like "Deep Research" and "Claude Code." As contexts grow beyond what even the largest frontier models can process effectively, multi-LM architectures have emerged to overcome context limitatio…

Cost-efficient Collaboration between On-device and Cloud Language Models

ICML 2025poster

We investigate an emerging setup in which a small, on-device language model (LM) with access to local data collaborates with a frontier, cloud-hosted LM to solve real-world tasks involving financial, medical, and scientific reasoning over long documents. *Can a local-remote collaboration reduce clo…

WONDERBREAD: A Benchmark for Evaluating Multimodal Foundation Models on Business Process Management Tasks

NeurIPS 2024poster

Existing ML benchmarks lack the depth and diversity of annotations needed for evaluating models on business process management (BPM) tasks. BPM is the practice of documenting, measuring, improving, and automating enterprise workflows. However, research has focused almost exclusively on one task -- f…

Ask Me Anything: A simple strategy for prompting language models

ICLR 2023top-25%

Large language models (LLMs) transfer well to new tasks out-of-the-box simply given a natural language prompt that demonstrates how to perform the task and no additional training. Prompting is a brittle process wherein small modifications to the prompt can cause large variations in the model predict…

TART: A plug-and-play Transformer module for task-agnostic reasoning

NeurIPS 2023poster

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit in-context learning abilities which enable the same model to perform several tasks without any task-specific training. In contrast, traditional adaptation approaches, such as fine-tuning, modify the underlying models for each specific task. In-context learning, h…

Perfectly Balanced: Improving Transfer and Robustness of Supervised Contrastive Learning

ICML 2022spotlight

An ideal learned representation should display transferability and robustness. Supervised contrastive learning (SupCon) is a promising method for training accurate models, but produces representations that do not capture these properties due to class collapse—when all points in a class map to the sa…

Personalized Benchmarking with the Ludwig Benchmarking Toolkit

NeurIPS 2021poster

The rapid proliferation of machine learning models across domains and deployment settings has given rise to various communities (e.g. industry practitioners) which seek to benchmark models across tasks and objectives of personal value. Unfortunately, these users cannot use standard benchmark results…
