Are Prompt Optimizers Blind? Cross-Modal Visual Feedback for Automatic Prompt Optimization
Haoyue Liu, Xiaoyu Ma, Ye Chen +2
Automatic prompt optimization (APO) has been widely adopted to adapt vision-language models (VLMs) to downstream tasks without weight updates, yielding promising results. However,…
One Rewrite to Fix Them All? Type-Aware Repair Allocation for Text-to-Image Prompt Optimization
Haoyue Liu, Xiaoyu Ma, Ye Chen +2
Text-to-image (T2I) generators often fail to follow their prompts faithfully, producing wrong counts, swapped attributes, ambiguous relations, and illegible text. Prompt optimizati…
Select Smarter, Not More: Prompt-Aware Evaluation Scheduling with Submodular Guarantees
Xiaoyu Ma, Yiwen Li, Haoyue Liu +4
Automatic prompt optimization (APO) hinges on the quality of its evaluation signal, yet scoring every prompt candidate on the full training set is prohibitively expensive. Existing…
Challenges and Research Directions for Large Language Model Inference Hardware
Xiaoyu Ma, David Patterson
Large Language Model (LLM) inference is hard. The autoregressive Decode phase of the underlying Transformer model makes LLM inference fundamentally different from training. Exacerb…
