Group Representational Position Encoding

ICLR 2026poster

We present GRAPE (Group RepresentAtional Position Encoding), a unified framework for positional encoding based on group actions. GRAPE brings together two families of mechanisms: (i) multiplicative rotations (Multiplicative GRAPE) in $\operatorname{SO}(d)$ and (ii) additive logit biases (Additive GR…

On the Design of KL-Regularized Policy Gradient Algorithms for LLM Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Policy gradient algorithms have been successfully applied to enhance the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). KL regularization is ubiquitous, yet the design surface, choice of KL direction (forward vs. reverse), normalization (normalized vs. unnormalized), and estimator ($k_1/k_2…

MARS: Unleashing the Power of Variance Reduction for Training Large Models

ICML 2025poster

Training deep neural networks--and more recently, large models--demands efficient and scalable optimizers. Adaptive gradient algorithms like Adam, AdamW, and their variants have been central to this task. Despite the development of numerous variance reduction algorithms in the past decade aimed at a…

R-PRM: Reasoning-Driven Process Reward Modeling

EMNLP 2025

Process Reward Models (PRMs) have emerged as a promising solution to address the reasoning mistakes of large language models (LLMs). However, existing PRMs typically output evaluation scores directly, limiting both learning efficiency and evaluation accuracy. This limitation is further compounded by

Tensor Product Attention Is All You Need

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Scaling language models to handle longer input sequences typically necessitates large key-value (KV) caches, resulting in substantial memory overhead during inference. In this paper, we propose Tensor Product Attention (TPA), a novel attention mechanism that uses tensor decompositions to represent q…

UniRel: Unified Representation and Interaction for Joint Relational Triple Extraction

EMNLP 2022main

Relational triple extraction is challenging for its difficulty in capturing rich correlations between entities and relations. Existing works suffer from 1) heterogeneous representations of entities and relations, and 2) heterogeneous modeling of entity-entity interactions and entity-relation interac…
