Selecting What Matters: Semantic Compression-Guided Selective Pooling for Long-Context Embeddings

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong potential as training-free text encoders for long-context embeddings. Existing approaches primarily improve information flow under causal attention and typically construct embeddings by uniformly averaging all token representations. However, for long documents, such mean p...

Dynamic Distribution-Aware Uncertainty Tracking in Vision-Language Representation Learning

A Dynamic Distribution-Aware Uncertainty Quantification framework (DDA-UQ) is proposed that shifts the paradigm from static mapping to a dynamic distribution-aware process and significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

Step-Level On-Policy Distillation: Interpolating Between On-Policy Distillation and Supervised Fine-Tuning

On-policy distillation (OPD) aligns a student model with a teacher's logit distribution on student-generated trajectories. This approach has achieved strong empirical gains and can often surpass conventional off-policy distillation with substantially less data. However, standard token-level OPD can provide only fragmen...

Accelerating Diffusion Language Models via Structured Suffix Modeling

This work proposes a structured suffix modeling method that incorporates the decoding results from the previous step into the suffix token representations at the current step, allowing them to carry evolving denoising information across generation steps.

Rethinking BCE Loss for Multi-Label Image Recognition with Fine-Tuning

Class-wise Covariance Regularization is proposed, which aligns the predicted covariance structure of class confidences with the semantic correlations encoded in pretrained text embed-dings with the geometric consistency of the class space throughout fine-tuning, resulting in more stable and interpretable confidence dis...
