Beyond Captions: Context-Grounded Reconstruction for Biomedical Multimodal Continued Pretraining
Guanghao Zhu, Zeyu Liu, Zhitian Hou +10
Biomedical figures are explained not by captions alone but by body-text passages that discuss them. Yet current multimodal corpora typically reduce figures to isolated image-captio…
E-PMQ: Expert-Guided Post-Merge Quantization with Merged-Weight Anchoring
Wenjun Wang, Yanggan Gu, Shuo Cai +4
Low-resource deployment constraints have made model quantization essential for deploying neural networks while preserving performance. Meanwhile, model merging has become an increa…
FeatCal: Feature Calibration for Post-Merging Models
Yanggan Gu, Shuo Cai, Zihao Wang +7
Model merging combines task experts into one model and avoids joint training, retraining, or deploying many expert models, but the merged model often still underperforms task exper…
Geometry Conflict: Explaining and Controlling Forgetting in LLM Continual Post-Training
Yuanyi Wang, Yifan Yang, Su Lu +9
Continual post-training aims to extend large language models (LLMs) with new knowledge, skills, and behaviors, yet it remains unclear when sequential updates enable capability tran…
A Comprehensive FP8 Training Recipe for Reasoning-Enhanced Language Models
Wenjun Wang, Shuo Cai, Congkai Xie +7
The immense computational cost of training Large Language Models (LLMs) presents a major barrier to innovation. While FP8 training offers a promising solution with significant theo…
InfiR : Crafting Effective Small Language Models and Multimodal Small Language Models in Reasoning
Congkai Xie, Shuo Cai, Wenjun Wang +17
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have made significant advancements in reasoning capabilities. However, they still face challenges such as…
