Improved Large Language Diffusion Models
Shen Nie, Qiyang Min, Shaoxuan Xu +7
Modern large language models are predominantly trained with autoregressive factorization and causal attention. We present \emph{iLLaDA}, an 8B masked diffusion language model train…
A Systematic Analysis of Hybrid Linear Attention
Dustin Wang, Rui-Jie Zhu, Steven Abreu +9
Transformers face quadratic complexity and memory issues with long sequences, prompting the adoption of linear attention mechanisms using fixed-size hidden states. However, linear…
Understanding by Reconstruction: Reversing the Software Development Process for LLM Pretraining
Zhiyuan Zeng, Yichi Zhang, Yong Shan +11
While Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in code generation, they often struggle with the deep, long-horizon reasoning required for complex software engi…
NL2Repo-Bench: Towards Long-Horizon Repository Generation Evaluation of Coding Agents
Jingzhe Ding, Shengda Long, Changxin Pu +46
Recent advances in coding agents suggest rapid progress toward autonomous software development, yet existing benchmarks fail to rigorously evaluate the long-horizon capabilities re…
A Comprehensive Survey on Long Context Language Modeling
Jiaheng Liu, Dawei Zhu, Zhiqi Bai +34
Efficient processing of long contexts has been a persistent pursuit in Natural Language Processing. With the growing number of long documents, dialogues, and other textual data, it…
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…
