Forward-Free Diffusion Language Models with BPTT-Free Looped Refinement
Haotian Sun, Rushi Qiang, Yuqian Zheng +1
Diffusion language models generate text through iterative denoising, offering a powerful alternative to autoregressive generation. However, discrete language spaces lack a natural…
Towards Better Instruction Following Retrieval Models
Yuchen Zhuang, Aaron Trinh, Rushi Qiang +4
Modern information retrieval (IR) models, trained exclusively on standard <query, passage> pairs, struggle to effectively interpret and follow explicit user instructions. We introd…
HYDRA: Model Factorization Framework for Black-Box LLM Personalization
Yuchen Zhuang, Haotian Sun, Yue Yu +4
Personalization has emerged as a critical research area in modern intelligent systems, focusing on mining users' behavioral history and adapting to their preferences for delivering…
BBox-Adapter: Lightweight Adapting for Black-Box Large Language Models
Haotian Sun, Yuchen Zhuang, Wei Wei +2
Adapting state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Gemini for specific tasks is challenging. Due to the opacity in their parameters, embeddings, and even output…
