The quadratic computational and memory complexities of large Transformers have limited their scalability for long document summarization. In this paper, we propose Hepos, a novel efficient encoder-decoder attention with head-wise positional strides to effectively pinpoint salient information from the source. We further conduct a systematic study of existing efficient self-attentions. Combined with Hepos, we are able to process ten times more tokens than existing models that use full attentions. For evaluation, we present a new dataset, GovReport, with significantly longer documents and summaries. Results show that our models produce significantly higher ROUGE scores than competitive comparisons, including new state-of-the-art results on PubMed. Human evaluation also shows that our models generate more informative summaries with fewer unfaithful errors.

    cs.LG 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Offline-learned head-reliability and risk-threshold tables make prefill-only KV compression recover about 97.7% of uncompressed LongBench accuracy at a 512-token-per-layer memory budget.

  2. EvolKV: Evolutionary KV Cache Compression for LLM Inference

    cs.LG 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    CMA-ES search over per-layer KV cache budgets beats uniform and pyramidal compression heuristics on LongBench, NIAH, RULER, and GSM8K, and edges past the full cache on one code dataset at 1.5% of the budget.

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    cs.CL 2026-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Replacing full attention with sliding-window attention when building document sentence-graphs gives competitive classification accuracy at lower attention cost, with unfiltered local graphs best on medium-length news.

    cs.LG 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    PagedEviction prunes the KV cache in whole blocks using a key-value norm ratio, speeding up long-context LLM inference in vLLM while staying close to full-cache accuracy.
