CONFCLIP: CONFIDENCE-WEIGHTED AND CLIPPED REWARD FOR REINFORCEMENT LEARNING IN LLMS

ICASSP 2026oral

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a standard paradigm for refining large language models (LLMs) beyond pre-training and instruction tuning. A prominent line of work is RL with verifiable rewards (RLVR), which leverages automatically verifiable outcomes (e.g., correctness or executability) to ge…

Reshape and Adapt for Output Quantization (RAOQ): Quantization-aware Training for In-memory Computing Systems

ICML 2024poster

In-memory computing (IMC) has emerged as a promising solution to address both computation and data-movement challenges, by performing computation on data in-place directly in the memory array. IMC typically relies on analog operation, which makes analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) necessary, for co…
