SPARKLING: Balancing Signal Preservation and Symmetry Breaking for Width-Progressive Learning

Qifan Yu, Xinyu Ma, Zhijian Zhuo +7

Progressive Learning (PL) reduces pre-training computational overhead by gradually increasing model scale. While prior work has extensively explored depth expansion, width expansio…

Scale-Distribution Decoupling: Enabling Stable and Effective Training of Large Language Models

Ya Wang, Zhijian Zhuo, Yutao Zeng +3

Training stability is a persistent challenge in the pre-training of large language models (LLMs), particularly for architectures such as Post-Norm Transformers, which are prone to…

Towards a Unified Theoretical Understanding of Non-contrastive Learning via Rank Differential Mechanism

Zhijian Zhuo, Yifei Wang, Jinwen Ma +1

Recently, a variety of methods under the name of non-contrastive learning (like BYOL, SimSiam, SwAV, DINO) show that when equipped with some asymmetric architectural designs, align…
