The proposed Intermittent Semi-working Mask (ISM) scheme addresses two challenges in multi-turn dialogues with Large Language Models (LLMs): maintaining high generation quality while reducing latency. The approach leverages a novel masking strategy that alternates between bidirectional and unidirectional attention on queries and answers, combining the strengths of prefix LLMs and causal LLMs. Experimental results demonstrate significant performance gains.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper talks about how we can make conversations with Large Language Models better by using a new way to organize information called Intermittent Semi-working Mask (ISM). This helps keep the quality high and makes it faster, which is important for long conversations. The idea is to use both old and new information in a conversation, like looking back at what was said before.
