Threshold Differential Attention for Sink-Free, Ultra-Sparse, and Non-Dispersive Language Modeling

Xingyue Huang, Xueying Ding, Mingxuan Ju +3

Softmax attention struggles with long contexts due to structural limitations: the strict sum-to-one constraint forces attention sinks on irrelevant tokens, and probability mass dis…

Hierarchical Token Prepending: Enhancing Information Flow in Decoder-based LLM Embeddings

Xueying Ding, Xingyue Huang, Mingxuan Ju +5

Large language models produce powerful text embeddings, but their causal attention mechanism restricts the flow of information from later to earlier tokens, degrading representatio…

GraphHash: Graph Clustering Enables Parameter Efficiency in Recommender Systems

Xinyi Wu, Donald Loveland, Runjin Chen +7

Deep recommender systems rely heavily on large embedding tables to handle high-cardinality categorical features such as user/item identifiers, and face significant memory constrain…
