BubbleSpec: Turning Long-Tail Bubbles into Speculative Rollout Drafts for Synchronous Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become a cornerstone for improving the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, its rollout phase constitutes a significant efficiency bottleneck, mainly arising from the long-tail bubbles across data parallel ranks, particularly in long-context scenarios…

Improving Preference Alignment of LLM with Inference-Free Self-Refinement

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) develop the in-context learning capability through pretraining and instruction tuning, enabling task adaptation without parameter updates. Self-refinement is a manifestation of this capability, which allows LLMs to iteratively refine the output using self-generated feedb

Holistic Features are almost Sufficient for Text-to-Video Retrieval

CVPR 2024poster

For text-to-video retrieval (T2VR) which aims to retrieve unlabeled videos by ad-hoc textual queries CLIP-based methods currently lead the way. Compared to CLIP4Clip which is efficient and compact state-of-the-art models tend to compute video-text similarity through fine-grained cross-modal feature…

Towards Efficient and Effective Text-to-Video Retrieval with Coarse-to-Fine Visual Representation Learning

AAAI 2024technical

In recent years, text-to-video retrieval methods based on CLIP have experienced rapid development. The primary direction of evolution is to exploit the much wider gamut of visual and textual cues to achieve alignment. Concretely, those methods with impressive performance often design a heavy fusion…
