LongGuard: Mechanistic Analysis and Training-Free Mitigation of Long-Context Failure in Safety Guardrails

Ziyang Chen, Xing Wu, Songlin Hu

Safety guardrails serve as the last line of defense against harmful inputs and outputs of large language models (LLMs), yet they are trained and evaluated almost exclusively on sho…

Compute Allocation in Bilinear Contrastive Representation Learning via Scaling Laws

Ziyan Chen, Zhongzhu Zhou, Ding-Xuan Zhou

Efficient reasoning systems increasingly rely on large contrastive representation models for multimodal retrieval, grounding, and decision-making. However, under a limited compute…

GoLongRL: Capability-Oriented Long Context Reinforcement Learning with Multitask Alignment

Minxuan Lv, Tiehua Mei, Tanlong Du +9

We present GoLongRL, a fully open-source, capability-oriented post-training recipe for long-context reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). Existing long-context RL…

OSCAR: Offline Spectral Covariance-Aware Rotation for 2-bit KV Cache Quantization

Zhongzhu Zhou, Donglin Zhuang, Jisen Li +4

INT2 KV-cache quantization is attractive for long-context LLM serving, but it remains difficult to make both accurate and deployable. Simple rotations such as Hadamard transforms r…

Don't Retrain, Just Reuse: Recovering Dual-Target Molecules from Single-Target Diffusion Models

Qingyuan Zeng, Pengxiang Cai, Zixin Guan +4

Designing a single molecule that modulates two targets is a promising strategy for polypharmacology, but it remains substantially harder than standard single-target generation beca…

Scaling Laws for Dynamic Mini-Batch SGD in Sketched Linear Regression

Ziyan Chen, Zhongzhu Zhou, Ding-Xuan Zhou

Mini-batching is central to large-scale optimization, yet its role in statistical scaling laws remains limited. We study one-pass and multi-pass batch SGD for sketched linear regre…

PolicyLong: Towards On-Policy Context Extension

Junlong Jia, Jiang Zhou, Ziyang Chen +5

Extending LLM context windows is hindered by scarce high-quality long-context data. Recent methods synthesize data with genuine long-range dependencies via information-theoretic ve…

From LLMs to LRMs: Rethinking Pruning for Reasoning-Centric Models

Longwei Ding, Anhao Zhao, Fanghua Ye +2

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly costly to deploy, motivating extensive research on model pruning. However, most existing studies focus on instruction-following LLMs,…

SemPA: Improving Sentence Embeddings of Large Language Models through Semantic Preference Alignment

Ziyang Chen, Zhenxuan Huang, Yile Wang +3

Traditional sentence embedding methods employ token-level contrastive learning on non-generative pre-trained models. Recently, there have emerged embedding methods based on generat…

LongBench Pro: A More Realistic and Comprehensive Bilingual Long-Context Evaluation Benchmark

Ziyang Chen, Xing Wu, Junlong Jia +4

The rapid expansion of context length in large language models (LLMs) has outpaced existing evaluation benchmarks. Current long-context benchmarks often trade off scalability and r…
