Balancing Signal and Variance: Adaptive Offline RL Post-Training for VLA Flow Models

AAAI 2026technical

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models based on flow matching have shown excellent performance in general-purpose robotic manipulation tasks. However, the action accuracy of these models on complex downstream tasks is unsatisfactory. One important reason is that these models rely solely on the post-tra

ConServe: Fine-Grained GPU Harvesting for LLM Online and Offline Co-Serving

ICML 2026poster

Large language model (LLM) serving demands low latency and high throughput, but high load variability leads to significant GPU utilization. In this paper, we identify a synergetic but overlooked opportunity to co-serve latency-critical online requests alongside *latency-tolerant offline* tasks, whic…

SERL: Self-Examining Reinforcement Learning on Open-Domain

AAAI 2026technical

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been shown to improve the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, applying RL to open-domain tasks faces two key challenges: (1) the inherent subjectivity of these tasks prevents the verifiable rewards as required by Reinforcement Learning with Verifiab

Threshold-driven Pruning with Segmented Maximum Term Weights for Approximate Cluster-based Sparse Retrieval

EMNLP 2024main

This paper revisits dynamic pruning through rank score thresholding in cluster-based sparse retrieval to skip the index partially at cluster and document levels during inference. It proposes a two-parameter pruning control scheme called ASC with a probabilistic guarantee on rank-safeness competitive…

Compact Token Representations with Contextual Quantization for Efficient Document Re-ranking

ACL 2022long

Transformer based re-ranking models can achieve high search relevance through context- aware soft matching of query tokens with document tokens. To alleviate runtime complexity of such inference, previous work has adopted a late interaction architecture with pre-computed contextual token representat…
