Faithfulness Is Not Free: Auditing Offline KV-Cache Quantization in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Atta Ul Asad, Ahsan Bilal, Muhammad Ali +2

Retrieval-augmented generation systems can precompute and store key-value caches of retrieved documents to avoid re-encoding context at every query. Quantizing these caches further…

Refining Over Resampling: Test-Time Self-Correction for LLM Reasoning

Ahsan Bilal, Muhammad Ahmed Mohsin, Muhammad Umer +4

Test-time scaling improves LLM reasoning by using additional inference compute, but wider sampling alone can suffer from diminishing returns: new rollouts often repeat existing ans…

: Stratified Scaling Search for Test-Time in Diffusion Language Models

Ahsan Bilal, Muhammad Ahmed Mohsin, Muhammad Umer +6

Test-time scaling investigates whether a fixed diffusion language model (DLM) can generate better outputs when given more inference compute, without additional training. However, n…

Neural Optimizer Equation, Decay Function, and Learning Rate Schedule Joint Evolution

Brandon Morgan, Dean Hougen

A major contributor to the quality of a deep learning model is the selection of the optimizer. We propose a new dual-joint search space in the realm of neural optimizer search (NOS…

Evolving Loss Functions for Specific Image Augmentation Techniques

Brandon Morgan, Dean Hougen

Previous work in Neural Loss Function Search (NLFS) has shown a lack of correlation between smaller surrogate functions and large convolutional neural networks with massive regular…
