TALAS: Teacher-Anchored Layer Alignment with Adaptive Sharpness-Aware Minimization for Embedding Distillation
Quoc Phong Dao, Hoang Son Nguyen, Pham Khanh Chi +4
Knowledge Distillation (KD) has established itself as a pivotal technique for compressing large pre-trained language models. However, existing methods that force a student to stric…
TokenRatio: Principled Token-Level Preference Optimization via Ratio Matching
Truong Nguyen, Tien-Phat Nguyen, Linh Ngo Van +3
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is a widely used RL-free method for aligning language models from pairwise preferences, but it models preferences over full sequences even thou…
LLM-XTM: Enhancing Cross-Lingual Topic Models with Large Language Models
Minh Chu Xuan, Tien-Phat Nguyen, Linh Ngo Van +3
Cross-lingual topic modeling aims to discover shared semantic structures across languages, yet existing models depend on sparse bilingual resources and often yield incoherent or we…
MemORAI: Memory Organization and Retrieval via Adaptive Graph Intelligence for LLM Conversational Agents
Hung Pham Van, Nguyen Manh Hieu, Khang Pham Tran Tuan +4
Large Language Models (LLMs) lack persistent memory for long-term personalized conversations. Existing graph-based memory systems suffer from information dilution, absent provenanc…
MTA: Multi-Granular Trajectory Alignment for Large Language Model Distillation
Pham Khanh Chi, Quoc Phong Dao, Thuat Nguyen +3
Knowledge distillation is a key technique for compressing large language models (LLMs), but most existing methods align representations at fixed layers or token-level outputs, igno…
SRA: Span Representation Alignment for Large Language Model Distillation
Quoc Phong Dao, Hoang Son Nguyen, Pham Khanh Chi +4
Cross-Tokenizer Knowledge Distillation (CTKD) enables knowledge transfer between a large language model and a smaller student, even when they employ different tokenizers. While exi…
