DuPO: Enabling Reliable Self-Verification via Dual Preference Optimization

ICLR 2026poster

We present DuPO, a dual learning-based preference optimization framework that generates annotation-free feedback via the generalized duality. DuPO addresses two key limitations: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR)’s reliance on costly labels and applicability restricted to verifiab…

UltraMemV2: Memory Networks Scaling to 120B Parameters with Superior Long-Context Learning

ICLR 2026poster

While Mixture of Experts (MoE) models achieve remarkable efficiency by activating only subsets of parameters, they suffer from high memory access costs during inference. Memory-layer architectures offer an appealing alternative with very few memory access, but previous attempts like UltraMem have on…

EnAnchored-X2X: English-Anchored Optimization for Many-to-Many Translation

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong machine translation capabilities for English-centric language pairs but underperform in direct non-English (x2x) translation. This work addresses this limitation through a synthetic data generation framework that leverages models’ established Eng

TRANS-ZERO: Self-Play Incentivizes Large Language Models for Multilingual Translation Without Parallel Data

ACL 2025finding

The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has reshaped machine translation (MT), but multilingual MT still relies heavily on parallel data for supervised fine-tuning (SFT), facing challenges like data scarcity for low-resource languages and catastrophic forgetting. To address these issues, we propose…

Binding-Adaptive Diffusion Models for Structure-Based Drug Design

AAAI 2024technical

Structure-based drug design (SBDD) aims to generate 3D ligand molecules that bind to specific protein targets. Existing 3D deep generative models including diffusion models have shown great promise for SBDD. However, it is complex to capture the essential protein-ligand interactions exactly in 3D sp…

DecompOpt: Controllable and Decomposed Diffusion Models for Structure-based Molecular Optimization

ICLR 2024poster

Recently, 3D generative models have shown promising performances in structure-based drug design by learning to generate ligands given target binding sites. However, only modeling the target-ligand distribution can hardly fulfill one of the main goals in drug discovery -- designing novel ligands with…

DecompDiff: Diffusion Models with Decomposed Priors for Structure-Based Drug Design

ICML 2023poster

Designing 3D ligands within a target binding site is a fundamental task in drug discovery. Existing structured-based drug design methods treat all ligand atoms equally, which ignores different roles of atoms in the ligand for drug design and can be less efficient for exploring the large drug-like mo…

Selective Knowledge Distillation for Non-Autoregressive Neural Machine Translation

AAAI 2023technical

Benefiting from the sequence-level knowledge distillation, the Non-Autoregressive Transformer (NAT) achieves great success in neural machine translation tasks. However, existing knowledge distillation has side effects, such as propagating errors from the teacher to NAT students, which may limit fur…

latent-GLAT: Glancing at Latent Variables for Parallel Text Generation

ACL 2022long

Recently, parallel text generation has received widespread attention due to its success in generation efficiency. Although many advanced techniques are proposed to improve its generation quality, they still need the help of an autoregressive model for training to overcome the one-to-many multi-modal…

Glancing Transformer for Non-Autoregressive Neural Machine Translation

ACL 2021long

Recent work on non-autoregressive neural machine translation (NAT) aims at improving the efficiency by parallel decoding without sacrificing the quality. However, existing NAT methods are either inferior to Transformer or require multiple decoding passes, leading to reduced speedup. We propose the G…

Non-Autoregressive Translation by Learning Target Categorical Codes

NAACL 2021long

Non-autoregressive Transformer is a promising text generation model. However, current non-autoregressive models still fall behind their autoregressive counterparts in translation quality. We attribute this accuracy gap to the lack of dependency modeling among decoder inputs. In this paper, we propos…
