CUDA-L1: Improving CUDA Optimization via Contrastive Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2026poster

The exponential growth in demand for GPU computing resources has created an urgent need for automated CUDA optimization strategies. While recent advances in LLMs show promise for code generation, current state-of-the-art models achieve low success rates in improving CUDA speed. In this paper, we in…

GPT-NER: Named Entity Recognition via Large Language Models

NAACL 2025findings

Despite the fact that large-scale Language Models (LLM) have achieved SOTA performances on a variety of NLP tasks, its performance on NER is still significantly below supervised baselines. This is due to the gap between the two tasks the NER and LLMs: the former is a sequence labeling task in nature…

Coverage Analysis For mmWAVE UAV Networks with Static and Dynamic Blockages

ICASSP 2024accepted

This paper investigates the coverage performance of millimeter wave (mmWave) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks. Due to the sensitivity of mmWave to both static and moving obstacles, we aim to improve generality and gain more in-depth insights by simultaneously considering the effects of static…

Defending against Backdoor Attacks in Natural Language Generation

AAAI 2023technical

The frustratingly fragile nature of neural network models make current natural language generation (NLG) systems prone to backdoor attacks and generate malicious sequences that could be sexist or offensive. Unfortunately, little effort has been invested to how backdoor attacks can affect current NL…

Text Classification via Large Language Models

EMNLP 2023long findings

Despite the remarkable success of large-scale Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-3, their performances still significantly underperform fine-tuned models in the task of text classification.This is due to (1) the lack of reasoning ability in addressing complex linguistic phenomena (e.g., intensif…

Fast Nearest Neighbor Machine Translation

ACL 2022findings

Though nearest neighbor Machine Translation (kNN-MT) (CITATION) has proved to introduce significant performance boosts over standard neural MT systems, it is prohibitively slow since it uses the entire reference corpus as the datastore for the nearest neighbor search. This means each step for each b…

GNN-LM: Language Modeling based on Global Contexts via GNN

ICLR 2022spotlight

Inspired by the notion that "it to copy is easier than to memorize", in this work, we introduce GNN-LM, which extends vanilla neural language model (LM) by allowing to reference similar contexts in the entire training corpus. We build a directed heterogeneous graph between an input context and its s…

Triggerless Backdoor Attack for NLP Tasks with Clean Labels

NAACL 2022long

Backdoor attacks pose a new threat to NLP models. A standard strategy to construct poisoned data in backdoor attacks is to insert triggers (e.g., rare words) into selected sentences and alter the original label to a target label. This strategy comes with a severe flaw of being easily detected from b…

ChineseBERT: Chinese Pretraining Enhanced by Glyph and Pinyin Information

ACL 2021long

Recent pretraining models in Chinese neglect two important aspects specific to the Chinese language: glyph and pinyin, which carry significant syntax and semantic information for language understanding. In this work, we propose ChineseBERT, which incorporates both the glyph and pinyin information of…

Progressive Domain Expansion Network for Single Domain Generalization

CVPR 2021poster

Single domain generalization is a challenging case of model generalization, where the models are trained on a single domain and tested on other unseen domains. A promising solution is to learn cross-domain invariant representations by expanding the coverage of the training domain. These methods have…

kFolden: k-Fold Ensemble for Out-Of-Distribution Detection

EMNLP 2021main

Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection is an important problem in natural language processing (NLP). In this work, we propose a simple yet effective framework kFolden, which mimics the behaviors of OOD detection during training without the use of any external data. For a task with k training labels, kF…

SAC: Accelerating and Structuring Self-Attention via Sparse Adaptive Connection

NeurIPS 2020poster

While the self-attention mechanism has been widely used in a wide variety of tasks, it has the unfortunate property of a quadratic cost with respect to the input length, which makes it difficult to deal with long inputs. In this paper, we present a method for accelerating and structuring self-atte…

Glyce: Glyph-vectors for Chinese Character Representations

NeurIPS 2019poster

It is intuitive that NLP tasks for logographic languages like Chinese should benefit from the use of the glyph information in those languages. However, due to the lack of rich pictographic evidence in glyphs and the weak generalization ability of standard computer vision models on character data, a…
