Turning Intent into Specifications: A Benchmark and an Interactive User-Assistant Agent
Hao Wang, Ligong Han, Kai Xu +1
Today's agents are highly effective at implementing well-scoped software design plans, but user intent is often vague and admits multiple equally valid solutions. In this paper, we…
Optimize Any Topology: A Foundation Model for Shape- and Resolution-Free Structural Topology Optimization
Amin Heyrani Nobari, Lyle Regenwetter, Cyril Picard +2
Structural topology optimization (TO) is central to engineering design but remains computationally intensive due to complex physics and hard constraints. Existing deep-learning met…
Hopscotch: Discovering and Skipping Redundancies in Language Models
Mustafa Eyceoz, Nikhil Shivakumar Nayak, Hao Wang +2
Modern causal language models stack many attention blocks to improve performance, but not all blocks are necessary for every task. We propose Hopscotch, a simple yet effective meth…
SQuat: Subspace-orthogonal KV Cache Quantization
Hao Wang, Ligong Han, Kai Xu +1
The key-value (KV) cache accelerates LLMs decoding by storing KV tensors from previously generated tokens. It reduces redundant computation at the cost of increased memory usage. T…
Sculpting Subspaces: Constrained Full Fine-Tuning in LLMs for Continual Learning
Nikhil Shivakumar Nayak, Krishnateja Killamsetty, Ligong Han +8
Continual learning in large language models (LLMs) is prone to catastrophic forgetting, where adapting to new tasks significantly degrades performance on previously learned ones. E…
Unveiling the Secret Recipe: A Guide For Supervised Fine-Tuning Small LLMs
Aldo Pareja, Nikhil Shivakumar Nayak, Hao Wang +10
The rise of large language models (LLMs) has created a significant disparity: industrial research labs with their computational resources, expert teams, and advanced infrastructure…
