AdaPonderLM: Gated Pondering Language Models with Token-Wise Adaptive Depth

Shixiang Song, He Li, Zitong Wang +6

Test-time scaling via recurrent/iterative Transformers enables large language models to spend more computation at inference, but most pretrained recurrent LMs run a fixed number of…

PonderLM-3: Adaptive Token-Wise Pondering with Differentiable Masking

He Li, Feichen Song, Boyi Zeng +4

Test-time scaling has shown that allocating more additional computation at inference can improve generation quality, motivating a natural follow-up question: where should this comp…

Pretraining with Token-Level Adaptive Latent Chain-of-Thought

Boyi Zeng, Yiqin Hao, He Li +8

Scaling large language models by increasing parameters and training data is increasingly constrained by limited high-quality corpora and rising communication costs. This work explo…

AWM: Accurate Weight-Matrix Fingerprint for Large Language Models

Boyi Zeng, Lin Chen, Ziwei He +2

Protecting the intellectual property of large language models (LLMs) is crucial, given the substantial resources required for their training. Consequently, there is an urgent need…

PonderLM-2: Pretraining LLM with Latent Thoughts in Continuous Space

Boyi Zeng, He Li, Shixiang Song +5

The remarkable success of Chain-of-Thought (CoT), which enhances performance by scaling generation steps at test-time, inspires us to ask: can we leverage a similar scaling of comp…

PonderLM: Pretraining Language Models to Ponder in Continuous Space

Boyi Zeng, Shixiang Song, Siyuan Huang +6

Humans ponder before articulating complex sentence elements, enabling deeper cognitive processing through focused effort. In this work, we introduce this pondering process into lan…
