MoBA: Mixture of Block Attention for Long-Context LLMs

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Scaling the effective context length is essential for advancing large language models (LLMs) toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, the quadratic increase in computational complexity inherent in traditional attention mechanisms presents a prohibitive overhead. Existing approaches eit…

Funnel-Transformer: Filtering out Sequential Redundancy for Efficient Language Processing

NeurIPS 2020poster

With the success of language pretraining, it is highly desirable to develop more efficient architectures of good scalability that can exploit the abundant unlabeled data at a lower cost. To improve the efficiency, we examine the much-overlooked redundancy in maintaining a full-length token-level pre…

Re-examination of the Role of Latent Variables in Sequence Modeling

NeurIPS 2019poster

With latent variables, stochastic recurrent models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in modeling sound-wave sequence. However, opposite results are also observed in other domains, where standard recurrent networks often outperform stochastic models. To better understand this discrepancy, we…
