KV-Pipe: On the Relation Between KV Sharing and Pipeline Parallel Efficiency in LLMs

Maryam Dialameh, Hossein Rajabzadeh, Harish Krishnamoorthy Murali +3

Pipeline parallelism (PP) is widely used to scale large language model (LLM) training, but its efficiency is often limited by stage imbalance and pipeline bubbles. Meanwhile, cross…

Bayesian Mixture of Experts For Large Language Models

Maryam Dialameh, Hossein Rajabzadeh, Weiwei Zhang +2

We present Bayesian Mixture of Experts (Bayesian-MoE), a post-hoc uncertainty estimation framework for fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) based on Mixture-of-Experts architect…

Do LLMs Align with My Task? Evaluating Text-to-SQL via Dataset Alignment

Davood Rafiei, Morgan Lindsay Heisler, Weiwei Zhang +2

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) is an effective method for adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) on downstream tasks. However, variability in training data can hinder a model's abilit…

Rethinking Schema Linking: A Context-Aware Bidirectional Retrieval Approach for Text-to-SQL

Md Mahadi Hasan Nahid, Davood Rafiei, Weiwei Zhang +1

Schema linking -- the process of aligning natural language questions with database schema elements -- is a critical yet underexplored component of Text-to-SQL systems. While recent…

TaoCache: Structure-Maintained Video Generation Acceleration

Zhentao Fan, Zongzuo Wang, Weiwei Zhang

Existing cache-based acceleration methods for video diffusion models primarily skip early or mid denoising steps, which often leads to structural discrepancies relative to full-tim…

Continuous Self-Improvement of Large Language Models by Test-time Training with Verifier-Driven Sample Selection

Mohammad Mahdi Moradi, Hossam Amer, Sudhir Mudur +3

Learning to adapt pretrained language models to unlabeled, out-of-distribution data is a critical challenge, as models often falter on structurally novel reasoning tasks even while…
