Small LLMs: Pruning vs. Training from Scratch
Yufeng Xu, Taiming Lu, Kunjun Li +3
Pruning promises a shortcut to strong small language models. In this work, we examine this promise by pruning Llama-3.1-8B at pruning ratios of 0.5--0.8 with six methods spanning d…
Strong Teacher Not Needed? On Distillation in LLM Pretraining
Taiming Lu, Zhuang Liu
Knowledge distillation generally assumes a strong-to-weak relationship where stronger teachers yield better students. In this work, we examine this assumption about distillation in…
Diffuse to Detect: Bi-Level Sample Rebalancing with Pseudo-Label Diffusion for Point-Supervised Infrared Small-Target Detection
Zhu Liu, Yuanhang Yao, Ping Qian +2
Point supervision has become a scalable solution to address dense annotation for infrared small target detection, but its performance is limited by two coupled bottlenecks: unstabl…
FrontierCS: Evolving Challenges for Evolving Intelligence
Qiuyang Mang, Wenhao Chai, Zhifei Li +48
We introduce FrontierCS, a benchmark of 156 open-ended problems across diverse areas of computer science, designed and reviewed by experts, including CS PhDs and top-tier competiti…
AutoCode: LLMs as Problem Setters for Competitive Programming
Shang Zhou, Zihan Zheng, Kaiyuan Liu +18
Writing competitive programming problems is exacting. Authors must: set constraints, input distributions, and edge cases that rule out shortcuts; target specific algorithms (e.g.,…
Meta CLIP 2: A Worldwide Scaling Recipe
Yung-Sung Chuang, Yang Li, Dong Wang +13
Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) is a popular foundation model, supporting from zero-shot classification, retrieval to encoders for multimodal large language models (M…
Scaling Language-Free Visual Representation Learning
David Fan, Shengbang Tong, Jiachen Zhu +8
Visual Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) currently underperforms Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) in multimodal settings such as Visual Question Answering (VQA). This mul…
Transformers without Normalization
Jiachen Zhu, Xinlei Chen, Kaiming He +2
Normalization layers are ubiquitous in modern neural networks and have long been considered essential. This work demonstrates that Transformers without normalization can achieve th…
