Spend Less, Reason Better: Budget-Aware Value Tree Search for LLM Agents
Yushu Li, Wenlong Deng, Jiajin Li +1
Test-time scaling has become a dominant paradigm for improving LLM agent reliability, yet current approaches treat compute as an abundant resource, allowing agents to exhaust token…
Textual Equilibrium Propagation for Deep Compound AI Systems
Minghui Chen, Wenlong Deng, James Zou +2
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as part of compound AI systems that coordinate multiple modules (e.g., retrievers, tools, verifiers) over long-horizon workfl…
Can Textual Gradient Work in Federated Learning?
Minghui Chen, Ruinan Jin, Wenlong Deng +4
Recent studies highlight the promise of LLM-based prompt optimization, especially with TextGrad, which automates differentiation'' via texts and backpropagates textual feedback. Th…
DARE the Extreme: Revisiting Delta-Parameter Pruning For Fine-Tuned Models
Wenlong Deng, Yize Zhao, Vala Vakilian +3
Storing open-source fine-tuned models separately introduces redundancy and increases response times in applications utilizing multiple models. Delta-parameter pruning (DPP), partic…
Unlocking the Potential of Prompt-Tuning in Bridging Generalized and Personalized Federated Learning
Wenlong Deng, Christos Thrampoulidis, Xiaoxiao Li
Vision Transformers (ViT) and Visual Prompt Tuning (VPT) achieve state-of-the-art performance with improved efficiency in various computer vision tasks. This suggests a promising p…
