Short window attention enables long-term memorization
Loïc Cabannes, Maximilian Beck, Gergely Szilvasy +6
Recent works show that hybrid architectures combining local sliding window attention layers and global attention layers outperform either of these architectures taken separately. H…
Gender Bias in MT for a Genderless Language: New Benchmarks for Basque
Amaia Murillo, Olatz-Perez-de-Viñaspre, Naiara Perez
Large language models (LLMs) and machine translation (MT) systems are increasingly used in our daily lives, but their outputs can reproduce gender bias present in the training data…
Linguistically Informed Evaluation of Multilingual ASR for African Languages
Fei-Yueh Chen, Lateef Adeleke, C. M. Downey
Word Error Rate (WER) mischaracterizes ASR models' performance for African languages by combining phonological, tone, and other linguistic errors into a single lexical error. By co…
Stochastic activations
Maria Lomeli, Matthijs Douze, Gergely Szilvasy +7
We introduce stochastic activations. This novel strategy randomly selects between several non-linear functions in the feed-forward layer of a large language model. In particular, w…
SWE-RL: Advancing LLM Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning on Open Software Evolution
Yuxiang Wei, Olivier Duchenne, Jade Copet +6
The recent DeepSeek-R1 release has demonstrated the immense potential of reinforcement learning (RL) in enhancing the general reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs)…
SEA-LION: Southeast Asian Languages in One Network
Raymond Ng, Thanh Ngan Nguyen, Yuli Huang +28
Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have dominated much of the artificial intelligence scene with their ability to process and generate natural languages. However, the majority…
