A small draft model proposes tokens, and the full model checks them in parallel. The authors find that this benefit shrinks for models with big vocabularies, such as Llama-3-8B (128k tokens). They re-implemented EAGLE-2 in native C and CUDA to strip away Python and… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[MMSD2.0: Towards a Reliable Multi-modal Sarcasm Detection System](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/qin-2023-mmsd2-0-reliable-multi-modal/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Libo Qin, Shijue Huang, Qiguang Chen, et al.*2023 · 65 citations* 2. **[Large Language Models Are Neurosymbolic Reasoners ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.09334) arXiv:2401.09334 · no summary yet**Meng Fang et al.*2024 · 34 citations* 3. **[FR-Spec: Accelerating Large-Vocabulary Language Models via Frequency-Ranked Speculative Sampling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2025-fr-spec-accelerating-large-vocabulary/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Weilin Zhao, Tengyu Pan, Xu Han, et al.*2025 · 15 citations* ## Co-authors here 12 of 14 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ao Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ao-sun/) - [Bin Liang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bin-liang/) - [Hao Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-zhou/) - [Jianyong Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jianyong-wang/) - [Jie Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jie-zhou/) - [Libo Qin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/libo-qin/) - [Qiguang Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qiguang-chen/) - [Ruifeng Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruifeng-xu/) - [Shijue Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shijue-huang/) - [Wanxiang Che](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wanxiang-che/) - [Weilin Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weilin-zhao/) - [Xu Han](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xu-han/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 38 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [14 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yudi-zhang/cited-by/).
