Recent advancements in large reasoning models (LRMs) have greatly improved their capabilities on complex reasoning tasks through Long Chains of Thought (CoTs). However, this approach often results in substantial redundancy, impairing computational efficiency and causing significant delays in real-ti…
Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) are increasingly adopted for long-video generation, yet inference is dominated by the quadratic cost of 3D full attention. Sparse attention mitigates this bottleneck by exploiting *token-pair redundancy* and pruning query-key interactions. Nevertheless, its effectivenes…
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a pivotal technique for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences, yet it is susceptible to reward overoptimization, in which policy models overfit to the reward model, exploit spurious reward patterns instead of faithfully capt…
Recent advances in diffusion-based video restoration (VR) demonstrate significant improvement in visual quality, yet yield a prohibitive computational cost during inference.
