Unified Episodic and Semantic Memory via Modulating Transformer FeedForward Layers

ICML 2026poster

It is widely recognized that, after generative pre-training, Transformer FeedForward layers implicitly function as semantic memory, encoding linguistic and factual knowledge, while the contexts in key–value (KV) cache contain raw events, serving as the source of models' episodic memory. In this work…

Masked Structural Growth for 2x Faster Language Model Pre-training

ICLR 2024poster

Accelerating large language model pre-training is a critical issue in present research. In this paper, we focus on speeding up pre-training by progressively growing from a small Transformer structure to a large one. There are two main research problems associated with progressive growth: determining…

MUSER: MUltimodal Stress detection using Emotion Recognition as an Auxiliary Task

NAACL 2021long

The capability to automatically detect human stress can benefit artificial intelligent agents involved in affective computing and human-computer interaction. Stress and emotion are both human affective states, and stress has proven to have important implications on the regulation and expression of e…
