Dive Into the Implicit Biases of Low-rank Vision-language Alignment
Mingjia Shi, Shuo Wang, Xiaobo Wang +7
Vision-language alignment, the stage that bridges pretrained vision encoders and large language models, is widely treated as a form of pretraining requiring full-parameter updates.…
ResearchGPT: Benchmarking and Training LLMs for End-to-End Computer Science Research Workflows
Penghao Wang, Yuhao Zhou, Mengxuan Wu +12
As large language models (LLMs) advance, the ultimate vision for their role in science is emerging: we could build an AI collaborator to effectively assist human beings throughout…
Data Efficient Any Transformer-to-Mamba Distillation via Attention Bridge
Penghao Wang, Yuhao Zhou, Mengxuan Wu +3
State-space models (SSMs) have emerged as efficient alternatives to Transformers for sequence modeling, offering superior scalability through recurrent structures. However, their t…
EA-ViT: Efficient Adaptation for Elastic Vision Transformer
Chen Zhu, Wangbo Zhao, Huiwen Zhang +9
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have emerged as a foundational model in computer vision, excelling in generalization and adaptation to downstream tasks. However, deploying ViTs to suppo…
Drag-and-Drop LLMs: Zero-Shot Prompt-to-Weights
Zhiyuan Liang, Dongwen Tang, Yuhao Zhou +11
Modern Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods such as low-rank adaptation (LoRA) reduce the cost of customizing large language models (LLMs), yet still require a separate o…
REPA Works Until It Doesn't: Early-Stopped, Holistic Alignment Supercharges Diffusion Training
Ziqiao Wang, Wangbo Zhao, Yuhao Zhou +9
Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) deliver state-of-the-art image quality, yet their training remains notoriously slow. A recent remedy -- representation alignment (REPA) that matches D…
