With the wide adoption of language models for IR -- and specifically RAG systems -- the latency of the underlying LLM becomes a crucial bottleneck, since the long contexts of retrieved passages lead large prompts and therefore, compute…

Depth pruning improves the inference efficiency of large language models by removing Transformer blocks. Prior work typically treats layer redundancy as an inherent structural property of pretrained networks, emphasizing importance criteria…

Long-context inference for Large Language Models (LLMs) is heavily limited by high computational demands. While several existing methods optimize attention computation, they still process the full set of hidden states at each layer,…

In-Context Learning and Chain-of-Thought prompting improve reasoning in large language models (LLMs). These typically come at the cost of longer, more expensive prompts that may contain redundant information. Prompt compression based on…

Vision-language models (VLMs) increasingly rely on chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning to solve complex multimodal tasks, but their large parameter sizes make deployment expensive. Structured pruning offers a natural solution; however,…

Large language models often display undesirable behaviors embedded in their internal representations, undermining fairness, inconsistency drift, amplification of harmful content, and the propagation of unwanted patterns during extended…

Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle with long-horizon tasks due to the "context bottleneck" and the "lost-in-the-middle" phenomenon, where accumulated noise from verbose environments degrades reasoning over multi-turn interactions. To…

Parallel reasoning enhances Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) but incurs prohibitive costs due to futile paths caused by early errors. To mitigate this, path pruning at the prefix level is essential, yet existing research remains fragmented…

Vision tokens in multimodal large language models often dominate huge computational overhead due to their excessive length compared to linguistic modality. Abundant recent methods aim to solve this problem with token pruning, which first…

Transformer-based vision-language models (VLMs) contain substantial depth redundancy, yet the effect of removing specific decoder layers remains poorly understood, especially for domains that require tight coupling between perception and…

Approaches for compressing large-language models using low-rank decomposition have made strides, particularly with the introduction of activation and loss-aware SVD, which improves the trade-off between decomposition rank and downstream…

Pruning has emerged as a promising direction for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference, yet existing approaches often suffer from instability because they rely on offline calibration data that may not generalize across inputs.…

Reasoning language models such as DeepSeek-R1 produce long chain-of-thought traces during inference time which make them costly to deploy at scale. We show that using compression techniques such as neural network pruning produces greater…
