| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across NLP tasks . however, in long-context scenarios, they face high computational cost and information redundancy. |
| Approach: | They propose an encoder-decoder context compression framework that generates a compact sequence of soft tokens for downstream tasks. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that GMSA outperforms baselines on multiple long-context question answering and summarization benchmarks while maintaining low end-to-end latency. |
Perception Compressor: A Training-Free Prompt Compression Framework in Long Context Scenarios (2025.findings-naacl)

| Challenge: | Long prompts contain redundant information and are sensitive to the position of key information in long context scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose a training-free prompt compression framework that retains key information at token level while removing distracting tokens. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms existing methods on long context benchmarks. |

| Challenge: | Existing task-aware methods require loading the entire input sequence at once for compression, which suffer from computational inefficiency. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that adopts an adaptive hybrid reading strategy to reduce computational inefficiency and redundant information in long-context scenarios. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that RAM outperforms baselines on multiple question answering and summarization benchmarks while delivering up to a 12x speedup on long inputs. |

| Challenge: | Efficient instruction tuning aims to enhance the ultimate performance of large language models (LLMs) current methods suffer from the curriculum rigidity, resulting in a fixed and potentially sub-optimal learning trajectory. |
| Approach: | a framework for efficient instruction tuning is proposed to address the issue of curriculum rigidity . current methods rely on static heuristic difficulty metrics and fail to adapt to evolving capabilities . |
| Outcome: | Efficient instruction tuning aims to enhance the ultimate performance of large language models . current methods suffer from the curriculum rigidity, resulting in a fixed learning trajectory . |

| Challenge: | Existing selection methods rely on static, heuristic quality scores and are executed only once before training. |
| Approach: | They propose a dynamic selection framework that integrates selection into every training step. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework integrates selection into every training step. |
