Federation over Text: Insight Sharing for Multi-Agent Reasoning

Dixi Yao, Tahseen Rabbani, Manzil Zaheer +1

We propose a federated learning-like framework, Federation over Text (FoT), that enables multiple clients solving different tasks to collectively generate a shared library of metac…

Differentially Private Model Merging

Qichuan Yin, Manzil Zaheer, Tian Li

In machine learning, privacy requirements at inference or deployment time often evolve due to changing policies, regulations, or user preferences. In this work, we aim to construct…

Interleaved Head Attention

Sai Surya Duvvuri, Chanakya Ekbote, Rachit Bansal +6

Multi-Head Attention (MHA) is the core computational primitive underlying modern Large Language Models (LLMs). However, MHA suffers from a fundamental linear scaling limitation: $H…

Asynchronous Heavy-Tailed Optimization

Junfei Sun, Dixi Yao, Xuchen Gong +3

Heavy-tailed stochastic gradient noise, commonly observed in transformer models, can destabilize the optimization process. Recent works mainly focus on developing and understanding…

The Art of Scaling Reinforcement Learning Compute for LLMs

Devvrit Khatri, Lovish Madaan, Rishabh Tiwari +6

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become central to training large language models (LLMs), yet the field lacks predictive scaling methodologies comparable to those established for pr…

Rethinking Thinking Tokens: LLMs as Improvement Operators

Lovish Madaan, Aniket Didolkar, Suchin Gururangan +6

Reasoning training incentivizes LLMs to produce long chains of thought (long CoT), which among other things, allows them to explore solution strategies with self-checking. This res…
