ML-Embed: Inclusive and Efficient Embeddings for a Multilingual World

ICML 2026poster

The development of high-quality text embeddings is increasingly drifting toward an exclusionary future, defined by three critical barriers: prohibitive computational costs, a narrow linguistic focus that neglects most of the world's languages, and a lack of transparency from closed-source or open-we…

E2LLM: Encoder Elongated Large Language Models for Long-Context Understanding and Reasoning

EMNLP 2025

Processing long contexts is increasingly important for Large Language Models (LLMs) in tasks like multi-turn dialogues, code generation, and document summarization. This paper addresses the challenges of achieving high long-context performance, low computational complexity, and compatibility with pr

Cross-Constrained Progressive Inference for 3D Hand Pose Estimation with Dynamic Observer-Decision-Adjuster Networks

AAAI 2024technical

Generalization is very important for pose estimation, especially for 3D pose estimation where small changes in the 2D images could trigger structural changes in the 3D space. To achieve generalization, the system needs to have the capability of detecting estimation errors by double-checking the pro…

D2LLM: Decomposed and Distilled Large Language Models for Semantic Search

ACL 2024long

The key challenge in semantic search is to create models that are both accurate and efficient in pinpointing relevant sentences for queries. While BERT-style bi-encoders excel in efficiency with pre-computed embeddings, they often miss subtle nuances in search tasks. Conversely, GPT-style LLMs with…
