ShellElastic: Scalable Elastic Pretraining with Simultaneous Maximal Updates and Hyperparameter Transfer

Can Jin, Yan Kang, Yifan Gong +5

Foundation models need to support diverse inference budgets, yet training a separate model for each budget duplicates pretraining effort. Elastic models train several nested sub-ne…

ES-VP : Energy-Shaped Dynamic Visual Prompting for Efficient Model Adaptation

Can Jin, Ying Li, Jingchen Sun +5

Visual prompting (VP) has emerged as a parameter-efficient method for adapting pre-trained models to downstream tasks. However, existing approaches encounter a trade-off between fl…

Reasoning as Intersection: Consensus-Frame Alignment for Visual Focus in Video-MLLMs

Chengwen Liu, Zhe Huang, Jisheng Dang +3

Reinforcement learning has improved the reasoning ability of large language models, but applying outcome-only rewards to video multimodal large language models (Video-MLLMs) provid…

Latent Reward Steering: An Adaptive Inference-Time Framework that Implicitly Promotes Cognitive Behaviors in Reasoning LLMs

Jiakang Li, Guanyu Zhu, Can Jin +8

Strong reasoning depends not only on model knowledge but also on how effectively cognitive behaviors are deployed during generation. Existing methods often rely on explicit behavio…

Reasoning over Precedents Alongside Statutes: Case-Augmented Deliberative Alignment for LLM Safety

Can Jin, Rui Wu, Tong Che +10

Ensuring that Large Language Models (LLMs) adhere to safety principles without refusing benign requests remains a significant challenge. While OpenAI introduces deliberative alignm…

DTop-p MoE: Sparsity-Controlled Dynamic Top-p MoE for Foundation Model Pre-training

Can Jin, Hongwu Peng, Mingcan Xiang +7

Sparse Mixture-of-Experts architectures are essential for scaling model capacity efficiently, yet the standard Top- routing imposes a rigid sparsity pattern that ignores the int…

AIRL-S: Unifying Reinforcement Learning and Search-Based Test-Time Scaling via Adversarial Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Can Jin, Yang Zhou, Qixin Zhang +8

Test-time scaling strategies for Large Language Models predominantly rely on either reinforcement learning with sparse outcome rewards or search-based methods guided by static Proc…

From Hallucination to Reliability: Generative Modeling and the Structure of Scientific Inference

Charles Rathkopf

Generative AI is increasingly used in science, but is unavoidably prone to hallucination. I develop a reliabilist account of how generative AI nevertheless gives rise to new scient…

RankFlow: A Multi-Role Collaborative Reranking Workflow Utilizing Large Language Models

Can Jin, Hongwu Peng, Anxiang Zhang +8

In an Information Retrieval (IR) system, reranking plays a critical role by sorting candidate passages according to their relevance to a specific query. This process demands a nuan…

Learning from Teaching Regularization: Generalizable Correlations Should be Easy to Imitate

Can Jin, Tong Che, Hongwu Peng +3

Generalization remains a central challenge in machine learning. In this work, we propose Learning from Teaching (LoT), a novel regularization technique for deep neural networks to…
