Mid-Think: Training-Free Intermediate-Budget Reasoning via Token-Level Triggers

Wang Yang, Debargha Ganguly, Xinpeng Li +5

Hybrid reasoning language models are commonly controlled through high-level Think/No-think instructions to regulate reasoning behavior, yet we found that such mode switching is lar…

InterQ: Communication-Aware Scheduling Across Modular QPUs with Classical and Quantum Links

Vinooth Kulkarni, Jaehyun Lee, Lauren Li +5

As quantum computing scales toward practical workloads, future systems are expected to move beyond single monolithic processors toward modular architectures that connect multiple Q…

Overcoming Dynamics-Blindness: Training-Free Pace-and-Path Correction for VLA Models

Yanyan Zhang, Chaoda Song, Vikash Singh +6

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models achieve remarkable flexibility and generalization beyond classical control paradigms. However, most prevailing VLAs are trained under a single-f…

Path-Lock Expert: Separating Reasoning Mode in Hybrid Thinking via Architecture-Level Separation

Shouren Wang, Wang Yang, Chuang Ma +7

Hybrid-thinking language models expose explicit /think and /no_think modes, but current designs do not separate them cleanly. Even in /no_think mode, models often emit long and sel…

Benchmarking and Enabling Efficient Chinese Medical Retrieval via Asymmetric Encoders

Angqing Jiang, Jianlyu Chen, Zhe Fang +4

Effective medical text retrieval requires both high accuracy and low latency. While LLM-based embedding models possess powerful retrieval capabilities, their prohibitive latency an…

QuMod: Parallel Quantum Job Scheduling on Modular QPUs using Circuit Cutting

Vinooth Kulkarni, Aaron Orenstein, Xinpeng Li +3

The quantum computing community is increasingly positioning quantum processors as accelerators within classical HPC workflows, analogous to GPUs and TPUs. However, many real-world…
