While linear-complexity attention mechanisms offer a promising alternative to Softmax attention for overcoming the quadratic bottleneck, training such models from scratch remains prohibitively expensive. Inheriting weights from pretrained Transformers provides an appealing shortcut, yet the fundamen…
Test-Time Training (TTT) has recently emerged as a promising direction for efficient sequence modeling. TTT reformulates attention operation as an online learning problem, constructing a compact inner model from key-value pairs at test time. This reformulation opens a rich and flexible design space
Diffusion models can generate realistic and diverse images, potentially facilitating data availability for data-intensive perception tasks. However, leveraging these models to boost performance on downstream tasks with synthetic data poses several challenges, including aligning with real data distri…
Prompt optimization aims to construct effective prompts to fully leverage the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). The key challenge lies in analyzing the outputs of LLMs, identifying fine-grained errors as explicit evidence and guiding reverse prompt correction. However, existing dominant…
Multi-Objective Markov Decision Processes (MO-MDPs) are receiving increasing attention, as real-world decision-making problems often involve conflicting objectives that cannot be addressed by a single-objective MDP. The Pareto front identifies the set of policies that cannot be dominated, providing…
Topic modeling aims to discover the distribution of topics within a corpus. The advanced comprehension and generative capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have introduced new avenues for topic modeling, particularly by prompting LLMs to generate topics and refine them by merging similar ones…
Data quality and diversity are key to the construction of effective instruction-tuning datasets. With the increasing availability of open-source instruction-tuning datasets, it is advantageous to automatically select high-quality and diverse subsets from a vast amount of data. Existing methods typic…
