  1. BinaryBERT: Pushing the Limit of BERT Quantization (2021 · 166 citations)
    Large pre-trained language models are hard to run on edge devices, and quantization shrinks them without redesigning the architecture.
  2. Recent Advances in Speech Language Models: A Survey (2025 · 69 citations)
    Voice assistants are often built as a cascade of three systems: speech recognition, a text LLM, and speech synthesis (the "ASR + LLM + TTS" pipeline).
  3. Controllable Summarization with Constrained Markov Decision Process (2021 · 34 citations)
    Token-based controllable summarizers such as ControlSum let a user request a property of the output, for example a word budget.
  4. Can LLM Watermarks Robustly Prevent Unauthorized Knowledge Distillation? (2025 · 11 citations)
    Watermarking LLM outputs is promoted as a way to catch unauthorized knowledge distillation. It relies on "radioactivity": student models trained on watermarked teacher text inherit a detectable signal. This paper tests whether that signal survives a deliberate attacker. The authors propose three removal attacks:
  5. Implicit Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Comprehensive Survey (2025 · 10 citations)
    Chain-of-Thought prompting makes LLMs write out every intermediate step, which inflates output length, latency and cost.
  6. Position: LLMs Can be Good Tutors in English Education (2025 · 9 citations)
    This is a position paper. It runs no experiments and introduces no dataset. The authors argue that current LLM uses in English teaching mostly reuse standard NLP task framings and ignore educational methodology. They contend that LLMs can work as tutors that support human teachers rather than replace them. They…
  7. VoxEval: Benchmarking the Knowledge Understanding Capabilities of End-to-End Spoken Language Models (2025 · 9 citations)
    Spoken Language Models (SLMs) that both listen and reply in speech need broad world knowledge. Existing audio QA benchmarks still pair audio with text questions or score text answers, so they cannot test true speech-to-speech use or how stable a model is when the same question is spoken differently. The authors built…
