Towards Privacy-Preserving Federated Prompt Tuning under Data Heterogeneity: A Subspace-Decomposed Expert Approach

Yuhua Wang, Xiaodong Li, Yihao Guo, Yuxiang Jia, Qinnan Zhang, Yifan Sun, et al.

Federated prompt tuning (FPT) enables collaborative adaptation of vision--language models (VLMs) using lightweight prompts. Existing methods often address heterogeneity and privacy through a split-prompt design under local differential privacy (DP), combining a shared prompt for…

Understanding Reasoning from Pretraining to Post-Training

Jingyan Shen, Ang Li, Salman Rahman, Yifan Sun, Micah Goldblum, Matus Telgarsky, et al.

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become central to improving large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks, yet RL post-training is largely studied in isolation from the pretraining that precedes it. As a result, two basic questions remain open: (1) how do pretraining ch…
