Convolution for Large Language Models
Yuchuan Tian, Yingte Shu, Wei He +7
Large language models (LLMs) largely rely on Transformers, where self-attention provides global token interaction but does not explicitly encode the locality of natural language. W…
MemoryFormer: Minimize Transformer Computation by Removing Fully-Connected Layers
Ning Ding, Yehui Tang, Haochen Qin +6
In order to reduce the computational complexity of large language models, great efforts have been made to to improve the efficiency of transformer models such as linear attention a…
From Next-Token to Next-Block: A Principled Adaptation Path for Diffusion LLMs
Yuchuan Tian, Yuchen Liang, Shuo Zhang +10
Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) enable fast generation, yet training large DLMs from scratch is costly. As a practical shortcut, adapting off-the-shelf Auto-Regressive (AR) model…
Top 10 Open Challenges Steering the Future of Diffusion Language Model and Its Variants
Yunhe Wang, Kai Han, Huiling Zhen +13
The paradigm of Large Language Models (LLMs) is currently defined by auto-regressive (AR) architectures, which generate text through a sequential ``brick-by-brick'' process. Despit…
Deferred Commitment Decoding for Diffusion Language Models
Yingte Shu, Yuchuan Tian, Chao Xu +2
Diffusion language models (DLMs) have recently emerged as a strong alternative to autoregressive models by enabling parallel text generation. To improve inference efficiency and KV…
