ForesightKV: Optimizing KV Cache Eviction for Reasoning Models by Learning Long-Term Contribution

ICML 2026poster

Recently, large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable reasoning abilities by producing long reasoning traces. However, as the sequence length grows, the key-value (KV) cache expands linearly, incurring significant memory and computation costs. Existing KV cache eviction methods mitigate this …

CAFE: Retrieval Head-based Coarse-to-Fine Information Seeking to Enhance Multi-Document QA Capability

EMNLP 2025

Advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have extended their input context length, yet they still struggle with retrieval and reasoning in long-context inputs. Existing methods propose to utilize the prompt strategy and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to alleviate this limitation. However,

Domain-Specific Pruning of Large Mixture-of-Experts Models with Few-shot Demonstrations

NeurIPS 2025poster

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models achieve a favorable trade-off between performance and inference efficiency by activating only a subset of experts. However, the memory overhead of storing all experts remains a major limitation, especially in large-scale MoE models such as DeepSeek-R1 (671B). In this…

LongReD: Mitigating Short-Text Degradation of Long-Context Large Language Models via Restoration Distillation

ACL 2025long

Large language models (LLMs) have gained extended context windows through scaling positional encodings and lightweight continual pre-training. However, this often leads to degraded performance on short-text tasks, while the reasons for this degradation remain insufficiently explored. In this work, w…

Sticker-TTS: Learn to Utilize Historical Experience with a Sticker-driven Test-Time Scaling Framework

EMNLP 2025

Large reasoning models (LRMs) have exhibited strong performance on complex reasoning tasks, with further gains achievable through increased computational budgets at inference. However, current test-time scaling methods predominantly rely on redundant sampling, ignoring the historical experience util

Exploring Context Window of Large Language Models via Decomposed Positional Vectors

NeurIPS 2024spotlight

Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) typically have a limited context window, resulting in significant performance degradation when processing text beyond the length of the context window. Extensive studies have been proposed to extend the context window and achieve length extrapolation of…

StructGPT: A General Framework for Large Language Model to Reason over Structured Data

EMNLP 2023long main

In this paper, we aim to improve the reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs) over structured data in a unified way. Inspired by the studies on tool augmentation for LLMs, we develop an Iterative Reading-then-Reasoning (IRR) framework to solve question answering tasks based on structured d…
