Efficient long-context understanding is increasingly vital for large language model (LLM) applications such as multi-turn dialogue and program analysis. However, the core self-attention scales quadratically with sequence length, creating a fundamental computational bottleneck. Existing sparse attent…
Large language models excel as few-shot learners when provided with appropriate demonstrations, yet this strength becomes problematic in multi-turn agent scenarios, where LLMs erroneously mimic their own previous responses as few-shot examples. Through attention analysis, we identify \textbf{convers…
Diffusion-based language models (dLLMs) enable parallel token generation through iterative denoising, but existing decoding strategies collapse to single-token generation under low confidence, severely limiting throughput. Unlike autoregressive models where speculative decoding operates on token seq…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are discovered to suffer from accurately retrieving key information. To address this, we propose Mask-Enhanced Autoregressive Prediction (MEAP), a simple yet effective training paradigm that seamlessly integrates Masked Language Modeling (MLM) into Next-Token Prediction…
Practical dialog systems need to deal with various knowledge sources, noisy user expressions, and the shortage of annotated data. To better solve the above problems, we propose CGoDial, a new challenging and comprehensive Chinese benchmark for multi-domain Goal-oriented Dialog evaluation. It contain…
Self-supervised multi-view stereopsis (MVS) attracts increasing attention for learning dense surface predictions from only a set of images without onerous ground-truth 3D training data for supervision. However, existing methods highly rely on the local photometric consistency, which fails to identif…
Pre-trained models have proved to be powerful in enhancing task-oriented dialog systems. However, current pre-training methods mainly focus on enhancing dialog understanding and generation tasks while neglecting the exploitation of dialog policy. In this paper, we propose GALAXY, a novel pre-trained…
Pre-training methods with contrastive learning objectives have shown remarkable success in dialog understanding tasks. However, current contrastive learning solely considers the self-augmented dialog samples as positive samples and treats all other dialog samples as negative ones, which enforces dis…
In this paper, we propose a novel SQL guided pre-training framework STAR for context-dependent text-to-SQL parsing, which leverages contextual information to enrich natural language (NL) utterance and table schema representations for text-to-SQL conversations. Concretely, we propose two novel pre-tr…
Large-scale pre-trained foundation models have been an emerging paradigm for building artificial intelligence (AI) systems, which can be quickly adapted to a wide range of downstream tasks. This paper presents mPLUG, a new vision-language foundation model for both cross-modal understanding and gener…
In this paper, we propose an attention-based multi-scale neural network for arrhythmia detection with lead-reversal electrocardiogram data. Electrocardiogram with a set of 12 waveforms(known as 12-lead ECG) measures myocardial electro-physiological activity, which is important in clinical diagnosis…
Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is typically carried out using Fisher's method, which relies heavily on the estimation of sample mean vectors and covariance matrices. However, Fisher LDA is vulnerable to outliers as it happens to other multivariate statistical methods. In this paper, we analyzed…
This paper proposes a way of enhancing shape recognition through point set registration. Firstly, a modified version of shape context (SC) is developed, which is invariant to rigid transformation and flipping. With the point correspondence obtained by the modified SC, an affine transformation based…
