Revisiting Lossy Verification in Speculative Decoding: Mechanisms, Trade-offs, and Failure Modes

Tianyu Wang, Yuxuan Zhou, Heng Li +4

Speculative Decoding (SD) accelerates large language model inference by allowing a lightweight draft model to propose tokens that are subsequently verified in parallel by a larger…

Overcoming Joint Intractability with Lossless Hierarchical Speculative Decoding

Yuxuan Zhou, Fei Huang, Heng Li +5

Verification is a key bottleneck in improving inference speed while maintaining distribution fidelity in Speculative Decoding. Recent work has shown that sequence-level verificatio…

HA-VLN 2.0: An Open Benchmark and Leaderboard for Human-Aware Navigation in Discrete and Continuous Environments with Dynamic Multi-Human Interactions

Yifei Dong, Fengyi Wu, Qi He +9

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) has been studied mainly in either discrete or continuous spaces, with little attention to dynamic, crowded environments. We present HA-VLN 2.0,…

Human-Aware Vision-and-Language Navigation: Bridging Simulation to Reality with Dynamic Human Interactions

Heng Li, Minghan Li, Zhi-Qi Cheng +6

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) aims to develop embodied agents that navigate based on human instructions. However, current VLN frameworks often rely on static environments an…
