OnlineMultitaskLearningwithLong-TermMemory

Neural Information Processing Systems

Associatedwitheach segment is a hypothesis from some hypothesis class. We give algorithms that are designed to exploit the scenario where there are many such segments but significantly fewer associated hypotheses.


Increasing GPU Utilization during Generative Inference for Higher Throughput

Neural Information Processing Systems

Apart from the already-large model parameters, the key/value (KV) cache that holds information about previous tokens in a sequence can grow to be even larger than the model itself. This problem is exacerbated in one of the current LLM serving frameworks which reserves the maximum sequence length of memory for the KV cache to guarantee generating a complete sequence as they do not know the output sequence length. This restricts us to use a smaller batch size leading to lower GPU utilization and above all, lower throughput. We argue that designing a system with a priori knowledge of the output sequence can mitigate this problem.





AVATAR: OptimizingLLMAgentsforToolUsagevia ContrastiveReasoning

Neural Information Processing Systems

InIRsystems, theretrievermodule directly influences theperformance ofdownstream tasks, such as retrieval-augmented generation [20, 29, 30] and knowledge-intensive question answering [34, 52]. However, these methods do not explicitly consider targeted optimization for tool usage or the impact on complex multi-stage tasks.
