Non-Forgetting Knowledge Allocation with Bi-level Competition for Class-Incremental Learning
Xiang Tan, Run He, Yawen Cui +6
Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) with pre-trained models (PTMs) aims to sequentially adapt PTMs to new categories without forgetting old knowledge. Built upon PTMs, existing adapte…
Scaling Reasoning Efficiently via Relaxed On-Policy Distillation
Jongwoo Ko, Sara Abdali, Young Jin Kim +2
On-policy distillation is pivotal for transferring reasoning capabilities to capacity-constrained models, yet remains prone to instability and negative transfer. We show that on-po…
StableQAT: Stable Quantization-Aware Training at Ultra-Low Bitwidths
Tianyi Chen, Sihan Chen, Xiaoyi Qu +5
Quantization-aware training (QAT) is essential for deploying large models under strict memory and latency constraints, yet achieving stable and robust optimization at ultra-low bit…
WINA: Weight Informed Neuron Activation for Accelerating Large Language Model Inference
Sihan Chen, Dan Zhao, Jongwoo Ko +5
The growing computational demands of large language models (LLMs) make efficient inference and activation strategies increasingly critical. While recent approaches, such as Mixture…
DistiLLM-2: A Contrastive Approach Boosts the Distillation of LLMs
Jongwoo Ko, Tianyi Chen, Sungnyun Kim +4
Despite the success of distillation in large language models (LLMs), most prior work applies identical loss functions to both teacher- and student-generated data. These strategies…
