Star Attention: Efficient LLM Inference over Long Sequences
Shantanu Acharya, Fei Jia, Boris Ginsburg
Inference with Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) on long sequences is both costly and slow due to the quadratic complexity of the self-attention mechanism. We introduc…
SWAN-GPT: An Efficient and Scalable Approach for Long-Context Language Modeling
Krishna C. Puvvada, Faisal Ladhak, Santiago Akle Serrano +8
We present a decoder-only Transformer architecture that robustly generalizes to sequence lengths substantially longer than those seen during training. Our model, SWAN-GPT, interlea…
Romanization Encoding For Multilingual ASR
Wen Ding, Fei Jia, Hainan Xu +3
We introduce romanization encoding for script-heavy languages to optimize multilingual and code-switching Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. By adopting romanization encod…
RULER: What's the Real Context Size of Your Long-Context Language Models?
Cheng-Ping Hsieh, Simeng Sun, Samuel Kriman +5
The needle-in-a-haystack (NIAH) test, which examines the ability to retrieve a piece of information (the "needle") from long distractor texts (the "haystack"), has been widely adop…
