Improving Model Representation and Reducing KV Cache via Skip Connections with First Value Heads
Zhoutong Wu, Yuan Zhang, Yiming Dong +4
Transformer models have driven breakthroughs across various language tasks by their strong capability to learn rich contextual representations. Scaling them to improve representati…
Conda: Column-Normalized Adam for Training Large Language Models Faster
Junjie Wang, Pan Zhou, Yiming Dong +6
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive generalization and emergent capabilities, yet their pre-training remains computationally expensive and sensitive to optimi…
SADA: Safe and Adaptive Aggregation of Multiple Black-Box Predictions in Semi-Supervised Learning
Jiawei Shan, Zhifeng Chen, Yiming Dong +2
Semi-supervised learning (SSL) arises in practice when labeled data are scarce or expensive to obtain, while large quantities of unlabeled data are readily available. With the grow…
P/D-Device: Disaggregated Large Language Model between Cloud and Devices
Yibo Jin, Yixu Xu, Yue Chen +27
Serving disaggregated large language models has been widely adopted in industrial practice for enhanced performance. However, too many tokens generated in decoding phase, i.e., occ…
Stepsize anything: A unified learning rate schedule for budgeted-iteration training
Anda Tang, Yiming Dong, Yutao Zeng +2
The expanding computational costs and limited resources underscore the critical need for budgeted-iteration training, which aims to achieve optimal learning within predetermined it…
On the Convergence Rate of AdamW Measured by Norm
Huan Li, Yiming Dong, Zhouchen Lin
As the default optimizer for training large language models, AdamW has achieved remarkable success in deep learning. However, its convergence behavior is not theoretically well-und…
