Presenting a Paper is an Art: Self-Improvement Aesthetic Agents for Academic Presentations
Chengzhi Liu, Yuzhe Yang, Kaiwen Zhou +5
The promotion of academic papers has become an important means of enhancing research visibility. However, existing automated methods struggle limited storytelling, insufficient aes…
SharpZO: Hybrid Sharpness-Aware Vision Language Model Prompt Tuning via Forward-Only Passes
Yifan Yang, Zhen Zhang, Rupak Vignesh Swaminathan +3
Fine-tuning vision language models (VLMs) has achieved remarkable performance across various downstream tasks; yet, it requires access to model gradients through backpropagation (B…
Soft Thinking: Unlocking the Reasoning Potential of LLMs in Continuous Concept Space
Zhen Zhang, Xuehai He, Weixiang Yan +5
Human cognition typically involves thinking through abstract, fluid concepts rather than strictly using discrete linguistic tokens. Current reasoning models, however, are constrain…
APEX: Empowering LLMs with Physics-Based Task Planning for Real-time Insight
Wanjing Huang, Weixiang Yan, Zhen Zhang +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate strong reasoning and task planning capabilities but remain fundamentally limited in physical interaction modeling. Existing approaches inte…
MaZO: Masked Zeroth-Order Optimization for Multi-Task Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models
Zhen Zhang, Yifan Yang, Kai Zhen +4
Large language models have demonstrated exceptional capabilities across diverse tasks, but their fine-tuning demands significant memory, posing challenges for resource-constrained…
