Every Token Counts: Generalizing 16M Ultra-Long Context in Large Language Models

Xiang Hu, Zhanchao Zhou, Ruiqi Liang +3

This work explores the challenge of building ``Machines that Can Remember'', framing long-term memory as the problem of efficient ultra-long context modeling. We argue that this re…

Understanding and Improving Length Generalization in Hierarchical Sparse Attention Models

Jiaqi Leng, Xiang Hu, Junxiong Wang +3

Effectively processing long contexts is a critical challenge for language models. While standard Transformers are limited by quadratic complexity and poor length extrapolation, alt…

Hardware-aligned Hierarchical Sparse Attention for Efficient Long-term Memory Access

Xiang Hu, Jiaqi Leng, Jun Zhao +2

A key advantage of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) over Transformers is their linear computational and space complexity enables faster training and inference for long sequences. H…

Efficient Length-Generalizable Attention via Causal Retrieval for Long-Context Language Modeling

Xiang Hu, Zhihao Teng, Jun Zhao +2

Despite the success of Transformers, handling long contexts remains challenging due to the limited length generalization and quadratic complexity of self-attention. Thus Transforme…

Unsupervised Morphological Tree Tokenizer

Qingyang Zhu, Xiang Hu, Pengyu Ji +2

As a cornerstone in language modeling, tokenization involves segmenting text inputs into pre-defined atomic units. Conventional statistical tokenizers often disrupt constituent bou…

Generative Pretrained Structured Transformers: Unsupervised Syntactic Language Models at Scale

Xiang Hu, Pengyu Ji, Qingyang Zhu +2

A syntactic language model (SLM) incrementally generates a sentence with its syntactic tree in a left-to-right manner. We present Generative Pretrained Structured Transformers (GPS…

Augmenting Transformers with Recursively Composed Multi-grained Representations

Xiang Hu, Qingyang Zhu, Kewei Tu +1

We present ReCAT, a recursive composition augmented Transformer that is able to explicitly model hierarchical syntactic structures of raw texts without relying on gold trees during…

A Multi-Grained Self-Interpretable Symbolic-Neural Model For Single/Multi-Labeled Text Classification

Xiang Hu, Xinyu Kong, Kewei Tu

Deep neural networks based on layer-stacking architectures have historically suffered from poor inherent interpretability. Meanwhile, symbolic probabilistic models function with cl…

Fast-R2D2: A Pretrained Recursive Neural Network based on Pruned CKY for Grammar Induction and Text Representation

Xiang Hu, Haitao Mi, Liang Li +1

Recently CKY-based models show great potential in unsupervised grammar induction thanks to their human-like encoding paradigm, which runs recursively and hierarchically, but requir…

R2D2: Recursive Transformer based on Differentiable Tree for Interpretable Hierarchical Language Modeling

Xiang Hu, Haitao Mi, Zujie Wen +4

Human language understanding operates at multiple levels of granularity (e.g., words, phrases, and sentences) with increasing levels of abstraction that can be hierarchically combi…

Interactive Question Clarification in Dialogue via Reinforcement Learning

Xiang Hu, Zujie Wen, Yafang Wang +2

Coping with ambiguous questions has been a perennial problem in real-world dialogue systems. Although clarification by asking questions is a common form of human interaction, it is…
