FlowSDR: Sufficient Dimension Reduction via Conditional Normalizing Flows

Yuexiao Dong, Kenichiro Mcalinn, Edoardo Airoldi +1

Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) seeks a low-dimensional linear projection of predictors that preserves the conditional distribution of the response. Existing methods target th…

Revise, Don't Freeze: Sampler-Matched Training for Self-Correcting Masked Diffusion Language Models

Longxuan Yu, Shaorong Zhang, Yu Fu +3

Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) re-predict every position at each denoising step, but standard samplers commit tokens once revealed, leaving this revision capability unuse…

DSL-LLaDA: Scaling Continuous Denoising to 8B Masked Diffusion LMs

Longxuan Yu, Yunshu Wu, Yu Fu +5

Discrete Masked diffusion language models generate text by iterative parallel decoding, but few-step decoding suffers from a tradeoff between length and quality: with a fixed step…

Where and What to Reward? Understanding Generalization Between Verifiable and Open-Ended Domains in Reinforcement Learning

Shangjian Yin, Yu Fu, Yue Dong +1

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is widely used to improve the reasoning capability of language models, since model-generated answers can be easily verified by…

Reducing the Safety Tax in LLM Safety Alignment with On-Policy Self-Distillation

Yu Fu, Longxuan Yu, Haz Sameen Shahgir +4

Safety alignment often improves robustness to harmful queries at the cost of reasoning ability, a tradeoff known as the safety tax. A common cause is distributional mismatch: super…

MT-JailBench: A Modular Benchmark for Understanding Multi-Turn Jailbreak Attacks

Xinkai Zhang, Zhipeng Wei, Huanli Gong +4

Multi-turn jailbreaks exploit the ability of large language models to accumulate and act on conversational context. Instead of stating a harmful request directly, an attacker can g…

Thinking Out of Order: When Output Order Stops Reflecting Reasoning Order in Diffusion Language Models

Longxuan Yu, Yu Fu, Shaorong Zhang +4

Autoregressive (AR) language models enforce a fixed left-to-right generation order, creating a fundamental limitation when the required output structure conflicts with natural reas…

MACE: A Hybrid LLM Serving System with Colocated SLO-aware Continuous Retraining Alignment

Yufei Li, Yu Fu, Yue Dong +1

Large language models (LLMs) deployed on edge servers are increasingly used in latency-sensitive applications such as personalized assistants, recommendation, and content moderatio…
