MemDefrag: Latent Memory Defragmentation for Large Language Models

Ruiyi Yan, Zhuoyuan Mao, Yiwen Guo

Latent memory, which stores past knowledge fragments as per-layer hidden states, has emerged as a promising paradigm (e.g., MemoryLLM and M+) for long-term memory in large language…

Motion-Omni: End-to-End Joint Speech and Full-Body Motion for Spoken Dialogue

Chengqian Ma, Wei Tao, Haoyu Zhang +1

An avatar that holds a conversation should decide what to say and to move while saying it, yet these abilities live in separate model families: spoken dialogue models produce speec…
