Data-Efficient Autoregressive-to-Diffusion Language Models via On-Policy Distillation

Xingyu Su, Jacob Helwig, Shubham Parashar +6

We study the transformation of autoregressive models (ARLMs) into diffusion language models (DLMs). Rather than pretraining from scratch, prior work replaces the causal attention i…

Learnability-Informed Fine-Tuning of Diffusion Language Models

Shubham Parashar, Atharv Chagi, Jacob Helwig +5

We aim to improve the reasoning capabilities of diffusion language models (DLMs). While SFT is a popular post-training recipe for autoregressive models, its use in DLMs faces chall…

Curriculum Reinforcement Learning from Easy to Hard Tasks Improves LLM Reasoning

Shubham Parashar, Shurui Gui, Xiner Li +8

We aim to improve the reasoning capabilities of language models via reinforcement learning (RL). Recent RL post-trained models like DeepSeek-R1 have demonstrated reasoning abilitie…

Complex LLM Planning via Automated Heuristics Discovery

Hongyi Ling, Shubham Parashar, Sambhav Khurana +6

We consider enhancing large language models (LLMs) for complex planning tasks. While existing methods allow LLMs to explore intermediate steps to make plans, they either depend on…

Inference-Time Computations for LLM Reasoning and Planning: A Benchmark and Insights

Shubham Parashar, Blake Olson, Sambhav Khurana +4

We examine the reasoning and planning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in solving complex tasks. Recent advances in inference-time techniques demonstrate the potential…

Few-Shot Recognition via Stage-Wise Retrieval-Augmented Finetuning

Tian Liu, Huixin Zhang, Shubham Parashar +1

Few-shot recognition (FSR) aims to train a classification model with only a few labeled examples of each concept concerned by a downstream task, where data annotation cost can be p…

The Neglected Tails in Vision-Language Models

Shubham Parashar, Zhiqiu Lin, Tian Liu +5

Vision-language models (VLMs) excel in zero-shot recognition but their performance varies greatly across different visual concepts. For example, although CLIP achieves impressive a…

Prompting Scientific Names for Zero-Shot Species Recognition

Shubham Parashar, Zhiqiu Lin, Yanan Li +1

Trained on web-scale image-text pairs, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP can recognize images of common objects in a zero-shot fashion. However, it is underexplored how to…
