TACTICL Compresses Tabular ICL Models, Retaining Adaptability.
TACTICL is an automated framework for compressing tabular in-context learning (ICL) models by jointly pruning transformer layers and replacing them with lightweight adapters. This method significantly reduces model size and computational demands while preserving robustness to data shifts and in-context adaptability.
MoE Proxy Models Cut LLM RL Debugging Costs.
This paper introduces Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) proxy models designed for low-cost reproduction and diagnosis of failures during Large Language Model (LLM) Reinforcement Learning (RL) post-training. These proxy models significantly reduce computational resources and time needed for debugging, while accurately preserving training dynamics and fault responses.
