Count Counts: Motivating Exploration in LLM Reasoning with Count-based Intrinsic Rewards

ICLR 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become a compelling way to strengthen the multi step reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, prevalent RL paradigms still lean on sparse outcome-based rewards and limited exploration, which often drives LLMs toward repetitive and suboptimal reasoni…

Faster Than Flash: Exploiting Attention Sparsity for Efficient Long-Context Decoding

ICML 2026poster

The development of long-context Large Language Models (LLMs) is constrained by the memory bandwidth bottleneck and quadratic complexity of the attention mechanism during decoding. To overcome the inherent trade-offs between the memory overhead of metadata-based metrics and the computational ineffici…

Scaling Transformers for End-to-End Discrete Audio Tokenization

ICML 2026poster

Discrete audio tokenizers are fundamental to empowering large language models with native audio processing and generation capabilities. Despite recent progress, existing approaches often rely on pretrained encoders, semantic distillation, or heterogeneous CNN-based architectures. These designs intro…

Sparse-dLLM: Accelerating Diffusion LLMs with Dynamic Cache Eviction

AAAI 2026technical

Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) enable breakthroughs in reasoning and parallel decoding but suffer from prohibitive quadratic computational complexity and memory overhead during inference. Current caching techniques accelerate decoding by storing full-layer states, yet impose substantial mem

Towards True Speech-to-Speech Models Without Text Guidance

ICLR 2026poster

Spoken dialogue systems often rely on cascaded pipelines that transcribe, process, and resynthesize speech. While effective, this design discards paralinguistic cues and limits expressivity. Recent end-to-end methods reduce latency and better preserve these cues, yet still rely on text intermediates…

ReAttention: Training-Free Infinite Context with Finite Attention Scope

ICLR 2025poster

The long-context capability of the Large Language Models (LLM) has made significant breakthroughs, but \textit{the maximum supported context length in length extrapolation} remains a critical bottleneck limiting their practical applications. The constraint of context length in LLMs arises from the s…

Semi-Clairvoyant Scheduling of Speculative Decoding Requests to Minimize LLM Inference Latency

IJCAI 2025

Speculative decoding accelerates Large Language Model (LLM) inference by employing a small speculative model (SSM) to generate multiple candidate tokens and verify them using the LLM in parallel. This technique has been widely integrated into LLM inference serving systems. However, inference request
