Competitive programming has emerged as a critical benchmark for evaluating the reasoning and coding capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). Despite impressive progress on existing benchmarks, we argue that current evaluations overstate model proficiency, masking a substantial gap between LLMs…
Recent advances in coding agents suggest rapid progress toward autonomous software development, yet existing benchmarks primarily evaluate short-horizon behaviors such as localized code generation, scaffolded completion, or repository repair, leaving it unclear whether agents can sustain coherent re…
Federated learning (FL) faces significant challenges from modality heterogeneity, which motivates multimodal federated learning (MFL) to leverage complementary modalities across decentralized clients for improved performance.

Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have spurred growing interest in automatic theorem proving using Lean4, where effective tree search methods are crucial for navigating the underlying large proof search spaces.

Competitive programming, due to its high reasoning difficulty and precise correctness feedback, has become a key task for both training and evaluating the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, while a large amount of public problem data, such as problem statements and solu
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown broad effectiveness due to extensive training that aligns visual inputs with corresponding language responses. However, this conclusive alignment training causes models to overlook essential visual reasoning, leading to failures in handling detailed visual ta…
We present CogVideoX, a large-scale text-to-video generation model based on diffusion transformer, which can generate 10-second continuous videos that align seamlessly with text prompts, with a frame rate of 16 fps and resolution of 768 x 1360 pixels. Previous video generation models often struggle…
Recent progress in multimodal large language models has markedly enhanced the understanding of short videos (typically under one minute), and several evaluation datasets have emerged accordingly. However, these advancements fall short of meeting the demands of real-world applications such as embodie…
The task of issue resolving aims to modify a codebase to generate a patch that addresses a given issue. However, most existing benchmarks focus almost exclusively on Python, making them insufficient for evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) across different programming languages. To bridge this ga…
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have ushered in a new era in artificial intelligence, merging capabilities in both language and vision to form highly capable \textbf{Visual Foundation Agents} that are postulated to excel across a myriad of tasks. However, existing benchmarks fail to sufficiently chal…
"This paper introduces RDA, a pioneering approach designed to address two primary deficiencies prevalent in previous endeavors aiming at stealing pre-trained encoders: (1) suboptimal performances attributed to biased optimization objectives, and (2) elevated query costs stemming from the end-to-end…
People are spending an enormous amount of time on digital devices through graphical user interfaces (GUIs) e.g. computer or smartphone screens. Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT can assist people in tasks like writing emails but struggle to understand and interact with GUIs thus limiting…
We introduce CogVLM, a powerful open-source visual language foundation model. Different from the popular \emph{shallow alignment} method which maps image features into the input space of language model, CogVLM bridges the gap between the frozen pretrained language model and image encoder by a traina…
"Diffusion models have shown remarkable performance in image generation in recent years. However, due to a quadratic increase in memory during generating ultra-high-resolution images (e.g. 4096 × 4096), the resolution of generated images is often limited to 1024×1024. In this work. we propose a unid…
Diffusion models achieved great success in image synthesis, but still face challenges in high-resolution generation. Through the lens of discrete cosine transformation, we find the main reason is that *the same noise level on a higher resolution results in a higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio in the frequ…
While in-processing fairness approaches show promise in mitigating bias predictions, their potential impact on privacy leakage remains under-explored. We aim to address this gap by assessing the privacy risks of fairness-enhanced binary classifiers with membership inference attacks (MIAs). Surprisin…
In this work, we present CogVideo, a 9B-parameter transformer for text-to-video generation. The CogVideo model has been trained by inheriting a pretrained text-to-image model, CogView2, which significantly reduces the training cost and alleviates the problem of scarcity and weak relevance. We also p…
We introduce GLM-130B, a bilingual (English and Chinese) pre-trained language model with 130 billion parameters. It is an attempt to open-source a 100B-scale model as good as GPT-3 (davinci) and unveil how models of such a scale can be successfully pre-trained. Over the course of this effort, we fac…
We present a comprehensive solution to learn and improve text-to-image models from human preference feedback. To begin with, we build ImageReward---the first general-purpose text-to-image human preference reward model---to effectively encode human preferences. Its training is based on our systematic…
Development of transformer-based text-to-image models is impeded by its slow generation and complexity, for high-resolution images. In this work, we put forward a solution based on hierarchical transformers and local parallel autoregressive generation. We pretrain a 6B-parameter transformer with a…
The few-shot natural language understanding (NLU) task has attracted much recent attention. However, prior methods have been evaluated under a disparate set of protocols, which hinders fair comparison and measuring the progress of the field. To address this issue, we introduce an evaluation framewor…
There have been various types of pretraining architectures including autoencoding models (e.g., BERT), autoregressive models (e.g., GPT), and encoder-decoder models (e.g., T5). However, none of the pretraining frameworks performs the best for all tasks of three main categories including natural lang…
In recent years, pretrained models revolutionized the paradigm of natural language understanding (NLU), where we append a randomly initialized classification head after the pretrained backbone, e.g. BERT, and finetune the whole model. As the pretrained backbone makes a major contribution to the impr…
We argue that the present setting of semisupervised learning on graphs may result in unfair comparisons, due to its potential risk of over-tuning hyper-parameters for models. In this paper, we highlight the significant influence of tuning hyper-parameters, which leverages the label information in th…
The success of graph neural networks (GNNs) largely relies on the process of aggregating information from neighbors defined by the input graph structures. Notably, message passing based GNNs, e.g., graph convolutional networks, leverage the immediate neighbors of each node during the aggregation pro…
Text-to-Image generation in the general domain has long been an open problem, which requires both a powerful generative model and cross-modal understanding. We propose CogView, a 4-billion-parameter Transformer with VQ-VAE tokenizer to advance this problem. We also demonstrate the finetuning strateg…
Conditional image synthesis aims to create an image according to some multi-modal guidance in the forms of textual descriptions, reference images, and image blocks to preserve, as well as their combinations. In this paper, instead of investigating these control signals separately, we propose a new t…
BERTs are incapable of processing long texts due to its quadratically increasing memory and time consumption. The straightforward thoughts to address this problem, such as slicing the text by a sliding window or simplifying transformers, suffer from insufficient long-range attentions or need customi…
