On-Policy Residual Learning for Diffusion Language Models
Yifan Yu, Yuqing Jian, Jisen Li +9
Residual context is key to unlocking the speed-quality Pareto frontier of diffusion language models (DLMs) by carrying forward predictive distributions across denoising steps. Yet…
QATFactory: A Versatile, Deployment-Aligned Framework for Quantization-aware Training and Distillation of LLMs
Weili Xu, Jisen Li, Yuqing Jian +8
Large language model (LLM) inference is increasingly moving toward lower precision to realize the throughput of hardware accelerators, but aggressive post-training quantization (PT…
Tail-Likelihood Reinforcement Learning
Shrinivas Ramasubramanian, Daman Arora, Fahim Tajwar +11
Reinforcement learning typically optimizes average reward. For generative policies, the average can hide an important distinction: two policies can achieve the same mean reward whi…
When RL Meets Adaptive Speculative Training: A Unified Training-Serving System
Junxiong Wang, Fengxiang Bie, Jisen Li +14
Speculative decoding can significantly accelerate LLM serving, yet most deployments today disentangle speculator training from serving, treating speculator training as a standalone…
Beat the long tail: Distribution-Aware Speculative Decoding for RL Training
Zelei Shao, Vikranth Srivatsa, Sanjana Srivastava +12
Reinforcement learning(RL) post-training has become essential for aligning large language models (LLMs), yet its efficiency is increasingly constrained by the rollout phase, where…
CDLM: Consistency Diffusion Language Models For Faster Sampling
Minseo Kim, Chenfeng Xu, Coleman Hooper +5
Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) offer a promising parallel generation paradigm but suffer from slow inference due to numerous refinement steps and the inability to use standard KV…
