Text as a Universal Interface for Transferable Personalization

Yuting Liu, Jian Guan, Jia-Nan Li +4

We study the problem of personalization in large language models (LLMs). Prior work predominantly represents user preferences as implicit, model-specific vectors or parameters, yie…

ReFusion: A Diffusion Large Language Model with Parallel Autoregressive Decoding

Jia-Nan Li, Jian Guan, Wei Wu +1

Autoregressive models (ARMs) are hindered by slow sequential inference. While masked diffusion models (MDMs) offer a parallel alternative, they suffer from critical drawbacks: high…

Improving the Reasoning of Multi-Image Grounding in MLLMs via Reinforcement Learning

Bob Zhang, Haoran Li, Tao Zhang +5

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) perform well in single-image visual grounding but struggle with real-world tasks that demand cross-image reasoning and multi-modal instruct…

Extended Inductive Reasoning for Personalized Preference Inference from Behavioral Signals

Jia-Nan Li, Jian Guan, Wei Wu +1

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant success in complex reasoning tasks such as math and coding. In contrast to these tasks where deductive reasoning predomin…

A Survey on Personalized Alignment -- The Missing Piece for Large Language Models in Real-World Applications

Jian Guan, Junfei Wu, Jia-Nan Li +2

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, yet their transition to real-world applications reveals a critical limitation: the inability to adapt to ind…

From 1,000,000 Users to Every User: Scaling Up Personalized Preference for User-level Alignment

Jia-Nan Li, Jian Guan, Songhao Wu +2

Large language models (LLMs) have traditionally been aligned through one-size-fits-all approaches that assume uniform human preferences, fundamentally overlooking the diversity in…

2D-TPE: Two-Dimensional Positional Encoding Enhances Table Understanding for Large Language Models

Jia-Nan Li, Jian Guan, Wei Wu +2

Tables are ubiquitous across various domains for concisely representing structured information. Empowering large language models (LLMs) to reason over tabular data represents an ac…

Semi-supervised Symmetric Non-negative Matrix Factorization with Low-Rank Tensor Representation

Yuheng Jia, Jia-Nan Li, Wenhui Wu +1

Semi-supervised symmetric non-negative matrix factorization (SNMF) utilizes the available supervisory information (usually in the form of pairwise constraints) to improve the clust…

StreamingDialogue: Prolonged Dialogue Learning via Long Context Compression with Minimal Losses

Jia-Nan Li, Quan Tu, Cunli Mao +3

Standard Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle with handling dialogues with long contexts due to efficiency and consistency issues. According to our observation, dialogue contexts…
