Distillation of Large Language Models via Concrete Score Matching

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) deliver remarkable performance but are costly to deploy, motivating knowledge distillation (KD) for efficient inference. Existing KD objectives typically match student and teacher probabilities via softmax, which blurs valuable logit information. While direct logit disti…

Semantic-aware Wasserstein Policy Regularization for Large Language Model Alignment

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) are commonly aligned with human preferences using reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). In this method, LLM policies are generally optimized through reward maximization with Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence regularization of the reference policy. However, KL…

Diffusion Adaptive Text Embedding for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Text-to-image diffusion models rely on text embeddings from a pre-trained text encoder, but these embeddings remain fixed across all diffusion timesteps, limiting their adaptability to the generative process. We propose Diffusion Adaptive Text Embedding (DATE), which dynamically updates text embeddi…

Training-Free Safe Text Embedding Guidance for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Text-to-image models have recently made significant advances in generating realistic and semantically coherent images, driven by advanced diffusion models and large-scale web-crawled datasets. However, these datasets often contain inappropriate or biased content, raising concerns about the generatio…
