To Explore The Strange New World Beyond Data Distribution: System Behavior, Causality Tax, and Non-causal Base Model

We show that the causality of language models (LMs) may not be necessary nor optimal. This is the case when system behavior (denoted as $S$) is incorporated as a first-principle Bayesian feature. Here, $S$ refers to extra dominant factors beyond the data space, and they involve coupled effects. Despite being the de fac...

LiteTopK: Exploiting the Curse of Dimensionality for a Fused Indexer-TopK Kernel in Long-Context Sparse Attention

This study observes that sparse attention scores exhibit a score concentration phenomenon, where scores tend to fall within a narrow range, and proposes LITETOPK, an efficient fused Indexer-TopK kernel, which exploits the similarity of top-k candidate sets among neighboring tokens and proposes LITEDSA, which exploits t...

Demonstrating TOFFEE: A Learned System for Synthesizing Data Agent Trajectories at Scale

This work introduces TOFFEE, a system for synthesizing high-quality data agent trajectories from given data environments via Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) with adaptive model selection and cross-task prefix reuse, and shows that TOFFEE can effectively generate scalable trajectory data for complex analytical tasks acro...
