Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become a cornerstone for improving the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, its rollout phase constitutes a significant efficiency bottleneck, mainly arising from the long-tail bubbles across data parallel ranks, particularly in long-context scenarios…
Recent breakthroughs in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have advanced neural rendering with high fidelity and speed. However, its performance degrades significantly in large-scale scenes due to the computational burden of tile-based rasterization. Existing optimization efforts either require costly sce
Internet of Things (IoT) systems continuously collect heterogeneous sensing signals from ubiquitous sensors to support intelligent applications such as human activity analysis, emotion monitoring, and environmental perception. These signals are inherently non-stationary and multi-scale, posing uniqu…
Large reasoning models (LRMs) like OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek-R1 achieve high accuracy on complex tasks by adopting long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning paths. However, the inherent verbosity of these processes frequently results in redundancy and overthinking. To address this issue, existing works lev…
Learning robust representations from unlabeled time series is crucial, and contrastive learning offers a promising avenue. However, existing contrastive learning approaches for time series often struggle with defining meaningful similarities, tending to overlook inherent physical correlations and di…
Extensive LLM applications demand efficient structured generations, particularly for LR(1) grammars, to produce outputs in specified formats (e.g., JSON). Existing methods primarily parse LR(1) grammars into a pushdown automaton (PDA), leading to runtime execution overhead for context-dependent toke…
This paper proposes a novel contrastive learning framework, called FOCAL, for extracting comprehensive features from multimodal time-series sensing signals through self-supervised training. Existing multimodal contrastive frameworks mostly rely on the shared information between sensory modalities, b…
This paper studies speculative reasoning task on real-world knowledge graphs (KG) that contain both false negative issue (i.e., potential true facts being excluded) and false positive issue (i.e., unreliable or outdated facts being included). State-of-the-art methods fall short in the speculative re…
In this paper, we investigate a realistic but underexplored problem, called few-shot temporal knowledge graph reasoning, that aims to predict future facts for newly emerging entities based on extremely limited observations in evolving graphs. It offers practical value in applications that need to de…
Variational Autoencoders (VAE) and their variants have been widely used in a variety of applications, such as dialog generation, image generation and disentangled representation learning. However, the existing VAE models may suffer from KL vanishing in language modeling and low reconstruction qualit…
