PipeSwift: Revisiting Pipeline Parallelism for Large-Scale Completion-Oriented Agentic LLM Serving

Shiju Wang, Fei Ren, Fangcheng Fu +4

LLM agents execute long-horizon workflows where each model response determines the progress of subsequent tool interactions and environment transitions. Unlike chatbot serving, whe…

When Entropy Is Not Enough: Reclaiming Lost Semantics in LLM Output Length Prediction

Feiyang Ren, Shengtao Wen, Lingbing Guo +6

Efficient LLM serving is often bottlenecked by the need to pad sequences to a fixed maximum length, and this wastes compute and degrades throughput. Output length prediction enable…

HARD-KV: Head-Adaptive Regularization for Decoding-time KV Compression

Yuxuan Yang, Feiyang Ren, Bowen Zeng +4

Long-context LLM inference faces a fundamental conflict: head-adaptive compression algorithms (e.g., Top- nucleus sampling) offer superior accuracy by dynamically fluctuating me…

Efficient Inference for Large Vision-Language Models: Bottlenecks, Techniques, and Prospects

Jun Zhang, Yicheng Ji, Feiyang Ren +7

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) enable sophisticated reasoning over images and videos, yet their inference is hindered by a systemic efficiency barrier known as visual token d…

HybridKV: Hybrid KV Cache Compression for Efficient Multimodal Large Language Model Inference

Bowen Zeng, Feiyang Ren, Jun Zhang +4

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have advanced unified reasoning over text, images, and videos, but their inference is hindered by the rapid growth of key-value (KV) caches…

ES-dLLM: Efficient Inference for Diffusion Large Language Models by Early-Skipping

Zijian Zhu, Fei Ren, Zhanhong Tan +1

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) are emerging as a promising alternative to autoregressive models (ARMs) due to their ability to capture bidirectional context and the potent…

Beyond Superficial Unlearning: Sharpness-Aware Robust Erasure of Hallucinations in Multimodal LLMs

Xianya Fang, Feiyang Ren, Xiang Chen +4

Multimodal LLMs are powerful but prone to object hallucinations, which describe non-existent entities and harm reliability. While recent unlearning methods attempt to mitigate this…

SpeCa: Accelerating Diffusion Transformers with Speculative Feature Caching

Jiacheng Liu, Chang Zou, Yuanhuiyi Lyu +4

Diffusion models have revolutionized high-fidelity image and video synthesis, yet their computational demands remain prohibitive for real-time applications. These models face two f…

DELIA: Diversity-Enhanced Learning for Instruction Adaptation in Large Language Models

Yuanhao Zeng, Fei Ren, Xinpeng Zhou +2

Although instruction tuning is widely used to adjust behavior in Large Language Models (LLMs), extensive empirical evidence and research indicates that it is primarily a process wh…

Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis

Ye Jia, Yu Zhang, Ron J. Weiss +8

We describe a neural network-based system for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis that is able to generate speech audio in the voice of many different speakers, including those unseen d…

Style Tokens: Unsupervised Style Modeling, Control and Transfer in End-to-End Speech Synthesis

Yuxuan Wang, Daisy Stanton, Yu Zhang +7

In this work, we propose "global style tokens" (GSTs), a bank of embeddings that are jointly trained within Tacotron, a state-of-the-art end-to-end speech synthesis system. The emb…
