On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own rollouts under a frozen teacher, mitigating the distribution mismatch of off-policy supervision. While prior work has primarily trained on problems a student can largely solve, we ask whether OPD can improve a student when training is restricted to problems it cu...
Diffusion language models (DLMs) enable flexible parallel generation by resolving tokens according to the model's evolving predictability rather than a fixed left-to-right order. This flexibility, however, introduces training choices absent from standard autoregressive teacher forcing: which reference tokens are visibl...
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are promising for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing, but they still suffer from catastrophic forgetting when learning tasks sequentially. This work investigates the integration of Experience Packing and Replay (EPR) as a memory-efficient continual learning strategy for deep SNNs und...
Long-context inference makes the key-value (KV) cache a major memory bottleneck for large language models. We propose BELT, a low-rank KV cache compression framework. Its key-side objective targets attention distributions rather than raw keys or pre-softmax logits, yielding a quadratic surrogate with a closed-form low-...

Brick-and-mortar retailers face many different challenges that involve understanding thoroughly its products catalog and customer preferences. In particular, assortment optimization - proposing the ideal mix of products - and promotion planning hold a pivotal role in their strategy. By leveraging sales data, retailers...
Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have attracted increasing research attention due to their bidirectional attention and arbitrary order decoding. However, there are two issues in dLLMs inference: the decoding difficulty is dominated by the tokens on the right side of the block, and the block-wise decoding inheren...
Sparse autoencoders decompose language model representations into interpretable features, but feature interpretation in this literature remains predominantly correlational. Attribution methods offer more direct estimates of feature influence, yet their faithfulness to actual causal effects has not been systematically e...
Coding agents are tasked with producing sophisticated interactive applications such as websites, desktop applications, and games. While humans assess these applications interactively, current automated LLM evaluations primarily focus on code analysis and unit tests. This mismatch can cause LLM judges to miss failures t...
Foundation models for tables and relational databases are increasingly used for predictive tasks across various scientific and industrial domains. However, adapting existing models to unseen datasets requires tens of thousands of examples. Here we introduce RT-J, an 85M-parameter relational foundation model (RFM) that...
Long-term time series forecasting requires temporal dependency modeling that remains stable and generalizable under temporal distribution shifts. However, real-world time series are often noisy and non-stationary, making deep learning models prone to fitting incidental temporal interactions in the training data. A key...
Time-series analysis is increasingly studied in multimodal settings, yet most benchmarks pair temporal signals with text or with visualizations derived from the same signal. This leaves open whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can integrate time series with real-world visual evidence. We introduce MMTA (mu...
Evaluating fashion retrieval systems remains challenging due to the limited availability of benchmarks that capture the fine-grained, open-ended queries encountered in real-world search and recommendation. Existing benchmarks often rely on manual curation, predefined taxonomies, or synthetic prompts, limiting scalabili...

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
