Glider: Global and Local Instruction-Driven Expert Router

EMNLP 2025

The development of performant pre-trained models has driven the advancement of routing-based expert models tailored to specific tasks. However, these methods often favor generalization over performance on held-in tasks. This limitation adversely impacts practical applicability, as real-world deploym

$\mathbb{D}^2$ Pruning: Message Passing for Balancing Diversity & Difficulty in Data Pruning

ICLR 2024poster

In recent years, data quality has emerged as an important factor for training massive models. Analytical theories suggest that higher-quality data can lead to lower test errors in models trained on a fixed data budget. Moreover, a model can be trained on a lower compute budget without compromising p…

Merge, Then Compress: Demystify Efficient SMoE with Hints from Its Routing Policy

ICLR 2024spotlight

Sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts (SMoE) has shown promise to scale up the learning capacity of neural networks, however, they have issues like: ($a$) $\textit{High Memory Usage,}$ due to duplication of the network layers into multiple copies as experts; and ($b$) $\textit{Redundancy in Experts,…

Exploring Continual Learning for Code Generation Models

ACL 2023short

Large-scale code generation models such as Copilot and CodeT5 have achieved impressive performance. However, libraries are upgraded or deprecated very frequently and re-training large-scale language models is computationally expensive. Therefore, Continual Learning (CL) is an important aspect that r…

Self-Chained Image-Language Model for Video Localization and Question Answering

NeurIPS 2023poster

Recent studies have shown promising results on utilizing large pre-trained image-language models for video question answering. While these image-language models can efficiently bootstrap the representation learning of video-language models, they typically concatenate uniformly sampled video frames a…

TIES-Merging: Resolving Interference When Merging Models

NeurIPS 2023poster

Transfer learning – i.e., further fine-tuning a pre-trained model on a downstream task – can confer significant advantages, including improved downstream performance, faster convergence, and better sample efficiency. These advantages have led to a proliferation of task-specific fine-tuned models, wh…

Explanation Graph Generation via Pre-trained Language Models: An Empirical Study with Contrastive Learning

ACL 2022long

Pre-trained sequence-to-sequence language models have led to widespread success in many natural language generation tasks. However, there has been relatively less work on analyzing their ability to generate structured outputs such as graphs. Unlike natural language, graphs have distinct structural a…

ExplaGraphs: An Explanation Graph Generation Task for Structured Commonsense Reasoning

EMNLP 2021main

Recent commonsense-reasoning tasks are typically discriminative in nature, where a model answers a multiple-choice question for a certain context. Discriminative tasks are limiting because they fail to adequately evaluate the model’s ability to reason and explain predictions with underlying commonse…

multiPRover: Generating Multiple Proofs for Improved Interpretability in Rule Reasoning

NAACL 2021long

We focus on a type of linguistic formal reasoning where the goal is to reason over explicit knowledge in the form of natural language facts and rules (Clark et al., 2020). A recent work, named PRover (Saha et al., 2020), performs such reasoning by answering a question and also generating a proof gra…

Confidence-based Graph Convolutional Networks for Semi-Supervised Learning

AISTATS 2019poster

Predicting properties of nodes in a graph is an important problem with applications in a variety of domains. Graph-based Semi Supervised Learning (SSL) methods aim to address this problem by labeling a small subset of the nodes as seeds, and then utilizing the graph structure to predict label scores…

HyperGCN: A New Method For Training Graph Convolutional Networks on Hypergraphs

NeurIPS 2019poster

In many real-world network datasets such as co-authorship, co-citation, email communication, etc., relationships are complex and go beyond pairwise. Hypergraphs provide a flexible and natural modeling tool to model such complex relationships. The obvious existence of such complex relationships in ma…
