[ "Neural scaling law", "model compression", "lottery ticket hypothesis", "deep learning theory" ]
When training large-scale models, the performance typically scales with the number of parameters and the dataset size according to a slow power law. A fundamental theoretical and practical question is whether comparable performance can be achieved with significantly smaller models and substantially less data. In this w...

[ "llm", "agent", "code actions", "code generation" ]
Modern large language models (LLMs) are often deployed as agents, calling external tools adaptively to solve tasks. Rather than directly calling tools, it can be more effective for LLMs to write code to perform the tool calls, enabling them to automatically generate complex control flow such as conditionals and loops. ...
We propose a new language for LLM agents to use for actions, and we show its benefits over Python in terms of performance, reliability, and security.

[ "Long-form video understanding;MLLM; multi-turn reasoning" ]
Long-form video understanding, characterized by long-range temporal dependencies and multiple events, remains a challenge. Existing methods often rely on static reasoning or external visual-language models (VLMs), which face issues like complexity and sub-optimal performance due to the lack of end-to-end training. In t...
