Scaling Latent Reasoning via Looped Language Models

Rui-Jie Zhu, Zixuan Wang, Kai Hua +30

Modern LLMs are trained to "think" primarily via explicit text generation, such as chain-of-thought (CoT), which defers reasoning to post-training and under-leverages pre-training…

In-Place Test-Time Training

Guhao Feng, Shengjie Luo, Kai Hua +4

The static ``train then deploy" paradigm fundamentally limits Large Language Models (LLMs) from dynamically adapting their weights in response to continuous streams of new informat…

Dynamic Large Concept Models: Latent Reasoning in an Adaptive Semantic Space

Xingwei Qu, Shaowen Wang, Zihao Huang +16

Large Language Models (LLMs) apply uniform computation to all tokens, despite language exhibiting highly non-uniform information density. This token-uniform regime wastes capacity…

Virtual Width Networks

Seed, Baisheng Li, Banggu Wu +115

We introduce Virtual Width Networks (VWN), a framework that delivers the benefits of wider representations without incurring the quadratic cost of increasing the hidden size. VWN d…

Learning to Detect Relevant Contexts and Knowledge for Response Selection in Retrieval-based Dialogue Systems

Kai Hua, Zhiyuan Feng, Chongyang Tao +2

Recently, knowledge-grounded conversations in the open domain gain great attention from researchers. Existing works on retrieval-based dialogue systems have paid tremendous efforts…

AttentionInfluence: Adopting Attention Head Influence for Weak-to-Strong Pretraining Data Selection

Kai Hua, Steven Wu, Ge Zhang +1

Recently, there has been growing interest in collecting reasoning-intensive pretraining data to improve LLMs' complex reasoning ability. Prior approaches typically rely on supervis…
