Inference Scaling Law for Retrieval Augmented Generation

AAAI 2026technical

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has recently emerged as a powerful framework for knowledge-intensive natural language processing tasks, which leverages the strengths of both pre-trained language models and external knowledge. While significant progress has been made, the scaling behavior of the

FedCoT: Federated Chain-of-Thought Distillation for Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a transformative force in artificial intelligence, demonstrating exceptional proficiency across various tasks. However, their deployment in resource-constrained environments and concerns over user data privacy pose significant challenges. In contrast, Sma

FedMKT: Federated Mutual Knowledge Transfer for Large and Small Language Models

COLING 2025main

Recent research in federated large language models (LLMs) has primarily focused on enabling clients to fine-tune their locally deployed homogeneous LLMs collaboratively or on transferring knowledge from server-based LLMs to small language models (SLMs) at downstream clients. However, a significant g…

MERIT: Multi-Agent Collaboration for Unsupervised Time Series Representation Learning

ACL 2025finding

This paper studies the problem of unsupervised time series representation learning, which aims to map unlabeled time series data into a low-dimensional latent space for various downstream tasks. Previous works usually combine a range of augmentation strategies with contrastive learning to generate d…

PPC-GPT: Federated Task-Specific Compression of Large Language Models via Pruning and Chain-of-Thought Distillation

EMNLP 2025

Compressing Large Language Models (LLMs) into task-specific Small Language Models (SLMs) encounters two significant challenges: safeguarding domain-specific knowledge privacy and managing limited resources. To tackle these challenges, we propose PPC-GPT, a novel unified framework that systematically
