S3-CoT: Self-Sampled Succinct Reasoning Enables Efficient Chain-of-Thought LLMs

Yanrui Du, Sendong Zhao, Yibo Gao +9

Large language models (LLMs) equipped with chain-of-thought (CoT) achieve strong performance and offer a window into LLM behavior. However, recent evidence suggests that improvemen…

ArcAligner: Adaptive Recursive Aligner for Compressed Context Embeddings in RAG

Jianbo Li, Yi Jiang, Sendong Zhao +3

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) helps LLMs stay accurate, but feeding long documents into a prompt makes the model slow and expensive. This has motivated context compression,…

OptiSet: Unified Optimizing Set Selection and Ranking for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Yi Jiang, Sendong Zhao, Jianbo Li +4

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves generation quality by incorporating evidence retrieved from large external corpora. However, most existing methods rely on statically…

BARD: budget-aware reasoning distillation

Lujie Niu, Lei Shen, Yi Jiang +4

While long Chain-of-Thought (CoT) distillation effectively transfers reasoning capability to smaller language models, the reasoning process often remains redundant and computationa…

QAgent: A modular Search Agent with Interactive Query Understanding

Yi Jiang, Lei Shen, Lujie Niu +3

Large language models (LLMs) excel at natural language tasks but are limited by their static parametric knowledge, especially in knowledge-intensive task. Retrieval-augmented gener…

CoCoA: Collaborative Chain-of-Agents for Parametric-Retrieved Knowledge Synergy

Yi Jiang, Sendong Zhao, Jianbo Li +4

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances Large Language Models (LLMs), especially for knowledge-intensive tasks. Despite its advantages, current RAG methods often struggle to…
