Depth-Attention: Cross-Layer Value Mixing for Language Models

Boyi Zeng, Yiqin Hao, Zitong Wang +7

Self-attention selects information freely across the sequence, but across depth, Transformers merely add each layer's output to the residual stream, so later layers cannot selectiv…

Pretraining with Token-Level Adaptive Latent Chain-of-Thought

Boyi Zeng, Yiqin Hao, He Li +8

Scaling large language models by increasing parameters and training data is increasingly constrained by limited high-quality corpora and rising communication costs. This work explo…

PonderLM-2: Pretraining LLM with Latent Thoughts in Continuous Space

Boyi Zeng, He Li, Shixiang Song +5

The remarkable success of Chain-of-Thought (CoT), which enhances performance by scaling generation steps at test-time, inspires us to ask: can we leverage a similar scaling of comp…

PonderLM: Pretraining Language Models to Ponder in Continuous Space

Boyi Zeng, Shixiang Song, Siyuan Huang +6

Humans ponder before articulating complex sentence elements, enabling deeper cognitive processing through focused effort. In this work, we introduce this pondering process into lan…

AWM: Accurate Weight-Matrix Fingerprint for Large Language Models

Boyi Zeng, Lin Chen, Ziwei He +2

Protecting the intellectual property of large language models (LLMs) is crucial, given the substantial resources required for their training. Consequently, there is an urgent need…

Context-level Language Modeling by Learning Predictive Context Embeddings

Beiya Dai, Yuliang Liu, Daozheng Xue +6

We propose ContextLM, a framework that implicitly learns multi-token prediction by augmenting standard pretraining with an intrinsic next-context prediction objective. ContextLM bu…
