2025/11 [Funds] We received a research grant from CAAI-Ant Group (CAAI-蚂蚁科研基金). Thank you, CAAI and Ant Group!
2025/10 [Preprint] OBS-Diff: The first paper led by a Westlake undergraduate in our lab! Junhan Zhu (Class of 2023) led this work on one-shot pruning for diffusion models. Congrats! [arxiv]
2025/09 [NeurIPS'25] Four papers accepted to NeurIPS 2025 in the field of efficient and reliable AI. Congrats to our students and collaborators! Two papers from our lab:
  • HoliTom: A top-performing video LLM token compression method that maintains 99.1% performance while reducing FLOPs to just 6.9%—and it’s training-free! [arxiv] [code] [webpage]
  • FreqExit: A dynamic inference framework for visual autoregressive (VAR) models via early exit with novel frequency-aware guidance. [openreview] [code] [webpage]
2025/09 [Services] Prof. Huan Wang will serve as an Area Chair for AAAI 2026, ICLR 2026, and CVPR 2026.
2025/07 [Preprint] We are excited to present the first systematic survey on multimodal long-context token compression methods. [arxiv] [code]
