BitNet Text Embeddings
Zhen Li, Xin Huang, Liang Wang +8
LLM-based text embedders have substantially improved retrieval and semantic representation quality, but their deployment remains costly: large backbone models slow down embedding i…
On Training Large Language Models for Long-Horizon Tasks: An Empirical Study of Horizon Length
Sunghwan Kim, Junhee Cho, Beong-woo Kwak +6
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise as interactive agents that solve tasks through extended sequences of environment interactions. While prior work has primarily focuse…
Only Say What You Know: Calibration-Aware Generation for Long-Form Factuality
Wen Luo, Guangyue Peng, Liang Wang +7
Large Reasoning Models achieve strong performance on complex tasks but remain prone to hallucinations, particularly in long-form generation where errors compound across reasoning s…
Learning to Draft: Adaptive Speculative Decoding with Reinforcement Learning
Jiebin Zhang, Zhenghan Yu, Liang Wang +8
Speculative decoding accelerates large language model (LLM) inference by using a small draft model to generate candidate tokens for a larger target model to verify. The efficacy of…
Two Pathways to Truthfulness: On the Intrinsic Encoding of LLM Hallucinations
Wen Luo, Guangyue Peng, Wei Li +8
Despite their impressive capabilities, large language models (LLMs) frequently generate hallucinations. Previous work shows that their internal states encode rich signals of truthf…
Thinking Augmented Pre-training
Liang Wang, Nan Yang, Shaohan Huang +2
This paper introduces a simple and scalable approach to improve the data efficiency of large language model (LLM) training by augmenting existing text data with thinking trajectori…
DocReward: A Document Reward Model for Structuring and Stylizing
Junpeng Liu, Yuzhong Zhao, Bowen Cao +17
Recent agentic workflows automate professional document generation but focus narrowly on textual quality, overlooking structural and stylistic professionalism, which is equally cri…
MoCa: Modality-aware Continual Pre-training Makes Better Bidirectional Multimodal Embeddings
Haonan Chen, Hong Liu, Yuping Luo +4
Multimodal embedding models, built upon causal Vision Language Models (VLMs), have shown promise in various tasks. However, current approaches face three key limitations: the use o…
mmE5: Improving Multimodal Multilingual Embeddings via High-quality Synthetic Data

Multimodal embedding models have gained significant attention for their ability to map data from different modalities, such as text and images, into a unified representation space.…
Examining False Positives under Inference Scaling for Mathematical Reasoning
Yu Wang, Nan Yang, Liang Wang +2
Recent advancements in language models have led to significant improvements in mathematical reasoning across various benchmarks. However, most of these benchmarks rely on automatic…
Chain-of-Retrieval Augmented Generation
Liang Wang, Haonan Chen, Nan Yang +3
This paper introduces an approach for training o1-like RAG models that retrieve and reason over relevant information step by step before generating the final answer. Conventional R…
Bootstrap Your Own Context Length
Liang Wang, Nan Yang, Xingxing Zhang +2
We introduce a bootstrapping approach to train long-context language models by exploiting their short-context capabilities only. Our method utilizes a simple agent workflow to synt…
Little Giants: Synthesizing High-Quality Embedding Data at Scale
Haonan Chen, Liang Wang, Nan Yang +4
Synthetic data generation has become an increasingly popular way of training models without the need for large, manually labeled datasets. For tasks like text embedding, synthetic…
