Reasoning Models Can be Accurately Pruned Via Chain-of-Thought Reconstruction

ICLR 2026poster

Reasoning language models such as DeepSeek-R1 produce long chain-of-thought traces during inference time which make them costly to deploy at scale. We show that using compression techniques such as neural network pruning produces greater performance loss than in typical language modeling tasks, and…

Seeing What’s Wrong: A Trajectory-Guided Approach to Caption Error Detection

ICLR 2026poster

Error detection is critical for enhancing multimodal dataset reliability and downstream model performance. Existing error filters, while increasingly powerful, typically rely on a single similarity score per image–caption pair. This is limiting: captions with subtle errors (e.g., mislabeled objects,…

UniPixie: Unified and Probabilistic 3D Physics Learning via Flow Matching

CVPR 2026

Existing feed-forward networks excel at predicting a single set of physical properties from visual appearance, but this point-estimate paradigm fundamentally fails to capture the real world's inherent physical ambiguity. We address this by reframing physics prediction as a task of learning a control

Preserving Deep Representations in One-Shot Pruning: A Hessian-Free Second-Order Optimization Framework

ICLR 2025poster

We present SNOWS, a one-shot post-training pruning framework aimed at reducing the cost of vision network inference without retraining. Current leading one-shot pruning methods minimize layer-wise least squares reconstruction error which does not take into account deeper network representations. We…

Certified Robust Neural Networks: Generalization and Corruption Resistance

ICML 2023poster

Recent work have demonstrated that robustness (to "corruption") can be at odds with generalization. Adversarial training, for instance, aims to reduce the problematic susceptibility of modern neural networks to small data perturbations. Surprisingly, overfitting is a major concern in adversarial tra…
