We present two end-to-end models: Audio-to-Byte (A2B) and Byte-to-Audio (B2A), for multilingual speech recognition and synthesis. Prior work has predominantly used characters, sub-words or words as the unit of choice to model text. These…

The construction and analysis of an abstract reachability tree (ART) are the basis for a successful method for software verification. The ART represents unwindings of the control-flow graph of the program. Traditionally, a transition of the…

Multimodal Large Language Models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in video understanding, yet face prohibitive computational costs and performance degradation from ''context rot'' due to massive visual token redundancy. Existing…

Subcode-ensemble decoders improve iterative decoding by running multiple decoders in parallel over carefully chosen subcodes, increasing the likelihood that at least one decoder avoids the dominant trapping structures. Achieving strong…

Digital ink -- the coordinate stream captured from stylus or touch input -- lacks a unified representation. Continuous vector representations produce long sequences and suffer from training instability, while existing token representations…

Effective training of today's large language models (LLMs) depends on large batches and long sequences for throughput and accuracy. To handle variable-length sequences on hardware accelerators, it is common practice to introduce padding…

Tokenizers play a crucial role in determining the performance, training efficiency, and the inference cost of Large Language Models (LLMs). Designing effective tokenizers for multilingual LLMs is particularly challenging due to diverse…

Binary embeddings provide efficient and powerful ways to perform operations on large scale data. However binary embedding typically requires long codes in order to preserve the discriminative power of the input space. Thus binary coding…

Tokenization remains a fundamental yet underexplored bottleneck in natural language processing, with strategies largely static despite remarkable progress in model architectures. We present SupraTok, a novel tokenization architecture that…

Subword tokenization segments input text according to a pre-defined vocabulary to feed it into a language model; the language model, in turn, generates a sequence made from this same vocabulary. The members of the vocabulary can be built of…

Transformer-based models, exemplified by GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4, have recently garnered considerable attention in both academia and industry due to their promising performance in general language tasks. Nevertheless, these models…

As large language models move toward million-token context windows, CPU tokenizers become a major slowdown because they process text one step at a time while powerful GPUs sit unused. We built a GPU-based byte-level BPE tokenizer that…

We computed both Word and Sub-word Embeddings using FastText. For Sub-word embeddings we selected Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) algorithm to represent the sub-words. We evaluated the Biomedical Word Embeddings obtaining better results than…

Automatic parallelization remains a challenging problem in software engineering, particularly in identifying code regions where loops can be safely executed in parallel on modern multi-core architectures. Traditional static analysis…

Efficient text embedding is crucial for large-scale natural language processing (NLP) applications, where storage and computational efficiency are key concerns. In this paper, we explore how using binary representations (barcodes) instead…

Statistical language models on source code have successfully assisted software engineering tasks. However, developers can create or pick arbitrary identifiers when writing source code. Freely chosen identifiers lead to the notorious…

Although text-to-image (T2I) models exhibit remarkable generation capabilities, they frequently fail to accurately bind semantically related objects or attributes in the input prompts; a challenge termed semantic binding. Previous…

Recent advances in Transformer models allow for unprecedented sequence lengths, due to linear space and time complexity. In the meantime, relative positional encoding (RPE) was proposed as beneficial for classical Transformers and consists…

Sub-word segmentation is an essential pre-processing step for Neural Machine Translation (NMT). Existing work has shown that neural sub-word segmenters are better than Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE), however, they are inefficient as they require…

As the ever-increasing token limits of large language models (LLMs) have enabled long context as input, prompting with single data samples might no longer an efficient way. A straightforward strategy improving efficiency is to batch data…
