Natively training joint video-audio generation models at higher resolutions empowers them to learn richer visual details and sharper motion dynamics. However, full attention incurs quadratic cost and, as resolution increases, spreads attention over increasingly redundant tokens, diluting learning signals for informativ …
Self-attention gives LLMs fine-grained, query-dependent access to context, but dense token interactions incur quadratic prefill cost and a key--value cache growing with context length. Research thus spans explicit-memory compression, sparse access, recurrent state construction, structured state dynamics, and heterogene …
Ownership establishes rights over the use, control, and transfer of objects. Understanding these relations is essential for AI systems to interact appropriately with people and their resources. Yet how large language models (LLMs) attribute ownership under competing claims remains unclear. We introduce the Competing Ow …
Multimodal Large Language Models face significant efficiency challenges that stem from two distinct yet coupled sources: data redundancy and computational redundancy. While most methods focus on data redundancy by pruning visual tokens from the output of the visual encoder or computing redundancy in LLM decoders using …
Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) decode by repeatedly committing tokens to masked positions, but these commitments are usually irreversible. A token chosen under sparse, partial context is kept fixed, even when later context no longer supports it. Existing samplers mainly decide when to commit a token, but rare …
Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) advance visual reasoning by strengthening both perception and reasoning, implicitly assuming a process that transitions seamlessly from perception to reasoning. However, we observe a counterintuitive phenomenon that challenges this assumption: holding the model, question, …
