Conv-Basis: A New Paradigm for Efficient Attention Inference and Gradient Computation in Transformers

EMNLP 2025

The self-attention mechanism is key to the success of transformers in recent large language models (LLMs). However, the quadratic computational cost, O(n 2 ) , with respect to the input sequence length n poses a significant obstacle to further improvement and scalability in longer contexts.In this w

Learning to Inference Adaptively for Multimodal Large Language Models

ICCV 2025poster

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown impressive capabilities in visual reasoning, yet come with substantial computational cost, limiting their deployment in resource-constrained settings. Despite recent effort on improving the efficiency of MLLMs, prior solutions fall short in respond…

Towards Few-Shot Adaptation of Foundation Models via Multitask Finetuning

ICLR 2024poster

Foundation models have emerged as a powerful tool for many AI problems. Despite the tremendous success of foundation models, effective adaptation to new tasks, particularly those with limited labels, remains an open question and lacks theoretical understanding. An emerging solution with recent su…

Why Larger Language Models Do In-context Learning Differently?

ICML 2024poster

Large language models (LLM) have emerged as a powerful tool for AI, with the key ability of in-context learning (ICL), where they can perform well on unseen tasks based on a brief series of task examples without necessitating any adjustments to the model parameters. One recent interesting mysterious…
