Towards Generalization of Block Attention via Automatic Segmentation and Block Distillation

Shuaiyi Li, Zhisong Zhang, Yan Wang +5

Block attention, which processes the input as separate blocks that cannot attend to one another, offers significant potential to improve KV cache reuse in long-context scenarios su…

LawThinker: A Deep Research Legal Agent in Dynamic Environments

Xinyu Yang, Chenlong Deng, Tongyu Wen +2

Legal reasoning requires not only correct outcomes but also procedurally compliant reasoning processes. However, existing methods lack mechanisms to verify intermediate reasoning s…

UniGist: Towards General and Hardware-aligned Sequence-level Long Context Compression

Chenlong Deng, Zhisong Zhang, Kelong Mao +6

Large language models are increasingly capable of handling long-context inputs, but the memory overhead of key-value (KV) cache remains a major bottleneck for general-purpose deplo…

GLARE: Agentic Reasoning for Legal Judgment Prediction

Xinyu Yang, Chenlong Deng, Zhicheng Dou

Legal judgment prediction (LJP) has become increasingly important in the legal field. In this paper, we identify that existing large language models (LLMs) have significant problem…

A Silver Bullet or a Compromise for Full Attention? A Comprehensive Study of Gist Token-based Context Compression

Chenlong Deng, Zhisong Zhang, Kelong Mao +4

In this work, we provide a thorough investigation of gist-based context compression methods to improve long-context processing in large language models. We focus on two key questio…

Learning Interpretable Legal Case Retrieval via Knowledge-Guided Case Reformulation

Chenlong Deng, Kelong Mao, Zhicheng Dou

Legal case retrieval for sourcing similar cases is critical in upholding judicial fairness. Different from general web search, legal case retrieval involves processing lengthy, com…
