Language Models as Implicit Tree Search

ICML 2025poster

Despite advancing language model (LM) alignment, direct preference optimization (DPO) falls short in LM reasoning with the free lunch from reinforcement learning (RL). As the breakthrough, this work proposes a new RL-free preference optimization method aiming to achieve DPO along with learning anoth…

Quadratic Coreset Selection: Certifying and Reconciling Sequence and Token Mining for Efficient Instruction Tuning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Instruction-Tuning (IT) was recently found the impressive data efficiency in post-training large language models (LLMs). While the pursuit of efficiency predominantly focuses on sequence-level curation, often overlooking the nuanced impact of critical tokens and the inherent risks of token noise and…

Multivariate-Information Adversarial Ensemble for Scalable Joint Distribution Matching

ICML 2019oral

A broad range of cross-$m$-domain generation researches boil down to matching a joint distribution by deep generative models (DGMs). Hitherto algorithms excel in pairwise domains while as $m$ increases, remain struggling to scale themselves to fit a joint distribution. In this paper, we propose a dom…
