AV-SyncBench: Decoupled Benchmarking of Temporal and Semantic Audio-Visual Synchronization
Tianhong Zhou, Mingyang Han, Boyu Li +8
Audio-visual feature extraction is a fundamental component of multimodal understanding and generation tasks. However, existing evaluation protocols for feature extraction models ex…
FreeSonic: Training-Free Temporal-Aware Decoupled Attention for Precise Audio Editing
Yuxuan Jiang, Mingyang Han, Yusheng Dai +12
Text-to-audio (TTA) generation has made significant strides, yet achieving precise and consistent audio editing remains a major challenge. However, existing methods struggle to bal…
YOCO++: Enhancing YOCO with KV Residual Connections for Efficient LLM Inference
You Wu, Ziheng Chen, Yizhen Zhang +6
Cross-layer key-value (KV) compression has been found to be effective in efficient inference of large language models (LLMs). Although they reduce the memory consumption of the KV…
Expert Divergence Learning for MoE-based Language Models
Jiaang Li, Haibin Chen, Langming Liu +9
The Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture is a powerful technique for scaling language models, yet it often suffers from expert homogenization, where experts learn redundant functi…
SpiralFormer: Looped Transformers Can Learn Hierarchical Dependencies via Multi-Resolution Recursion
Chengting Yu, Xiaobo Shu, Yadao Wang +8
Recursive (looped) Transformers decouple computational depth from parameter depth by repeatedly applying shared layers, providing an explicit architectural primitive for iterative…
The Flexibility Trap: Rethinking the Value of Arbitrary Order in Diffusion Language Models
Zanlin Ni, Shenzhi Wang, Yang Yue +8
Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) break the rigid left-to-right constraint of traditional LLMs, enabling token generation in arbitrary orders. Intuitively, this flexibility i…
MeSH: Memory-as-State-Highways for Recursive Transformers
Chengting Yu, Xiaobo Shu, Yadao Wang +8
Recursive transformers reuse parameters and iterate over hidden states multiple times, decoupling compute depth from parameter depth. However, under matched compute, recursive mode…
