Routing Manifold Alignment Improves Generalization of Mixture-of-Experts LLMs

Zhongyang Li, Ziyue Li, Tianyi Zhou

Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) have been widely adopted in recent large language models since it can efficiently scale up the model capability without increasing the inference cos…

Skip a Layer or Loop it? Test-Time Depth Adaptation of Pretrained LLMs

Ziyue Li, Yang Li, Tianyi Zhou

Can a pretrained neural network adapt its architecture to different inputs without any finetuning? Do we need all layers for simple tasks, and are they adequate for challenging tas…

Grokking in LLM Pretraining? Monitor Memorization-to-Generalization without Test

Ziyue Li, Chenrui Fan, Tianyi Zhou

This paper presents the first study of grokking in practical LLM pretraining. Specifically, we investigate when an LLM memorizes the training data, when its generalization on downs…

Missing Premise exacerbates Overthinking: Are Reasoning Models losing Critical Thinking Skill?

Chenrui Fan, Ming Li, Lichao Sun +1

We find that the response length of reasoning LLMs, whether trained by reinforcement learning or supervised learning, drastically increases for ill-posed questions with missing pre…

C3PO: Critical-Layer, Core-Expert, Collaborative Pathway Optimization for Test-Time Expert Re-Mixing

Zhongyang Li, Ziyue Li, Tianyi Zhou

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Large Language Models (LLMs) suffer from severely sub-optimal expert pathways-our study reveals that naive expert selection learned from pretraining leaves…

ColorBench: Can VLMs See and Understand the Colorful World? A Comprehensive Benchmark for Color Perception, Reasoning, and Robustness

Yijun Liang, Ming Li, Chenrui Fan +7

Color plays an important role in human perception and usually provides critical clues in visual reasoning. However, it is unclear whether and how vision-language models (VLMs) can…
