verdi: retrieval is not transfer for continual world model optimization

Junyu Wu, Shiqin Nie, Youyi Kou +9

Foundation world models have made remarkable progress in planning, simulation, and embodied intelligence. However, optimizing a pretrained world model toward a user-specified objec…

Neural Computers

Mingchen Zhuge, Changsheng Zhao, Haozhe Liu +16

We propose a new frontier: Neural Computers (NCs) that unify computation, memory, and I/O of traditional computers in a learned runtime state. Our long-term goal is the Completely…

RPRA: Predicting an LLM-Judge for Efficient but Performant Inference

Dylan R. Ashley, Gaël Le Lan, Changsheng Zhao +7

Large language models (LLMs) face a fundamental trade-off between computational efficiency (e.g., number of parameters) and output quality, especially when deployed on computationa…

dTRPO: Trajectory Reduction in Policy Optimization of Diffusion Large Language Models

Wenxuan Zhang, Lemeng Wu, Changsheng Zhao +11

Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) introduce a new paradigm for language generation, which in turn presents new challenges for aligning them with human preferences. In this wo…

Small Vision-Language Models are Smart Compressors for Long Video Understanding

Junjie Fei, Jun Chen, Zechun Liu +13

Adapting Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) for hour-long videos is bottlenecked by context limits. Dense visual streams saturate token budgets and exacerbate the lost-in-the…
