Muse Glimmer 30B: An On-Device Agentic Model
Arash Ebrahim Abtahizadeh, Muna Aghamelu, Adil Ahmed +327
We introduce Muse Glimmer, an open-source 30B parameter causal language model with perception encoder, purpose-built for autonomous agentic tasks on consumer hardware. Muse Glimmer…
Post-training is (Massive) Supervised Learning
Michael Hassid, Yossi Adi, Roy Schwartz
The prevailing paradigm for training LLMs has evolved to rely on a massive post-training phase consisting of SFT and RL. In this position paper, we argue that this methodology effe…
Self-Execution Simulation Improves Coding Models
Gallil Maimon, Ori Yoran, Felix Kreuk +4
A promising research direction in enabling LLMs to generate consistently correct code involves addressing their inability to properly estimate program execution, particularly for c…
Linguistically Informed Evaluation of Multilingual ASR for African Languages
Fei-Yueh Chen, Lateef Adeleke, C. M. Downey
Word Error Rate (WER) mischaracterizes ASR models' performance for African languages by combining phonological, tone, and other linguistic errors into a single lexical error. By co…
Don't Overthink it. Preferring Shorter Thinking Chains for Improved LLM Reasoning
Michael Hassid, Gabriel Synnaeve, Yossi Adi +1
Reasoning large language models (LLMs) heavily rely on scaling test-time compute to perform complex reasoning tasks by generating extensive "thinking" chains. While demonstrating i…
Scaling Analysis of Interleaved Speech-Text Language Models
Gallil Maimon, Michael Hassid, Amit Roth +1
Existing Speech Language Model (SLM) scaling analysis paints a bleak picture. It predicts that SLMs require much more compute and data compared to text, leading some to question th…
More Documents, Same Length: Isolating the Challenge of Multiple Documents in RAG
Shahar Levy, Nir Mazor, Lihi Shalmon +2
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances the accuracy of Large Language Model (LLM) responses by leveraging relevant external documents during generation. Although previous st…
On Pruning State-Space LLMs
Tamer Ghattas, Michael Hassid, Roy Schwartz
Recent work proposed state-space models (SSMs) as an efficient alternative to transformer-based LLMs. Can these models be pruned to further reduce their computation costs? We adapt…
Transformers are Multi-State RNNs
Matanel Oren, Michael Hassid, Nir Yarden +2
Transformers are considered conceptually different from the previous generation of state-of-the-art NLP models - recurrent neural networks (RNNs). In this work, we demonstrate that…
EXPRESSO: A Benchmark and Analysis of Discrete Expressive Speech Resynthesis
Tu Anh Nguyen, Wei-Ning Hsu, Antony D'Avirro +10
Recent work has shown that it is possible to resynthesize high-quality speech based, not on text, but on low bitrate discrete units that have been learned in a self-supervised fash…
Finding the SWEET Spot: Analysis and Improvement of Adaptive Inference in Low Resource Settings
Daniel Rotem, Michael Hassid, Jonathan Mamou +1
Adaptive inference is a simple method for reducing inference costs. The method works by maintaining multiple classifiers of different capacities, and allocating resources to each t…
Textually Pretrained Speech Language Models
Michael Hassid, Tal Remez, Tu Anh Nguyen +9
Speech language models (SpeechLMs) process and generate acoustic data only, without textual supervision. In this work, we propose TWIST, a method for training SpeechLMs using a war…
How Much Does Attention Actually Attend? Questioning the Importance of Attention in Pretrained Transformers
Michael Hassid, Hao Peng, Daniel Rotem +4
The attention mechanism is considered the backbone of the widely-used Transformer architecture. It contextualizes the input by computing input-specific attention matrices. We find…
Efficient Methods for Natural Language Processing: A Survey
Marcos Treviso, Ji-Ung Lee, Tianchu Ji +19
Recent work in natural language processing (NLP) has yielded appealing results from scaling model parameters and training data; however, using only scale to improve performance mea…
