We introduce ChatGLM, an evolving family of large language models that we have been developing over time. This report primarily focuses on the GLM-4 language series, which includes GLM-4, GLM-4-Air, and GLM-4-9B. They represent our most capable models that are trained with all the insights and lessons gained from the preceding three generations of ChatGLM. To date, the GLM-4 models are pre-trained on ten trillions of tokens mostly in Chinese and English, along with a small set of corpus from 24 languages, and aligned primarily for Chinese and English usage. The high-quality alignment is achieved via a multi-stage post-training process, which involves supervised fine-tuning and learning from human feedback. Evaluations show that GLM-4 1) closely rivals or outperforms GPT-4 in terms of general metrics such as MMLU, GSM8K, MATH, BBH, GPQA, and HumanEval, 2) gets close to GPT-4-Turbo in instruction following as measured by IFEval, 3) matches GPT-4 Turbo (128K) and Claude 3 for long context tasks, and 4) outperforms GPT-4 in Chinese alignments as measured by AlignBench. The GLM-4 All Tools model is further aligned to understand user intent and autonomously decide when and which tool(s) touse -- including web browser, Python interpreter, text-to-image model, and user-defined functions -- to effectively complete complex tasks. In practical applications, it matches and even surpasses GPT-4 All Tools in tasks like accessing online information via web browsing and solving math problems using Python interpreter. Over the course, we have open-sourced a series of models, including ChatGLM-6B (three generations), GLM-4-9B (128K, 1M), GLM-4V-9B, WebGLM, and CodeGeeX, attracting over 10 million downloads on Hugging face in the year 2023 alone. The open models can be accessed through https://github.com/THUDM and https://huggingface.co/THUDM.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown excellent mastering of human language, but still struggle in real-world applications that require mathematical problem-solving. While many strategies and datasets to enhance LLMs' mathematics are developed, it remains a challenge to simultaneously maintain and improve both language and mathematical capabilities in deployed LLM systems.In this work, we tailor the Self-Critique pipeline, which addresses the challenge in the feedback learning stage of LLM alignment. We first train a general Math-Critique model from the LLM itself to provide feedback signals. Then, we sequentially employ rejective fine-tuning and direct preference optimization over the LLM's own generations for data collection. Based on ChatGLM3-32B, we conduct a series of experiments on both academic and our newly created challenging dataset, MathUserEval. Results show that our pipeline significantly enhances the LLM's mathematical problem-solving while still improving its language ability, outperforming LLMs that could be two times larger. Related techniques have been deployed to ChatGLM\footnote{\url{https://chatglm.cn}}, an online serving LLM. Related evaluation dataset and scripts are released at \url{https://github.com/THUDM/ChatGLM-Math}.

Autonomous robots in endovascular interventions possess the potential to navigate guidewires with safety and reliability, while reducing human error and shortening surgical time. However, current methods of guidewire navigation based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) depend on manual demonstration data or magnetic guidance. In this work, we propose an Image-guided Autonomous Guidewire Navigation (IAGN) method. Specifically, we introduce BDA-star, a path planning algorithm with boundary distance constraints, for the trajectory planning of guidewire navigation. We established an IAGN-RL environment where the observations are real-time guidewire feeding images highlighting the position of the guidewire tip and the planned path. We proposed a reward function based on the distances from both the guidewire tip to the planned path and the target to evaluate the agent's actions. Furthermore, in policy network, we employ a pre-trained convolutional neural network to extract features, mitigating stability issues and slow convergence rates associated with direct learning from raw pixels. Experiments conducted on the aortic simulation IAGN platform demonstrated that the proposed method, targeting the left subclavian artery and the brachiocephalic artery, achieved a 100% guidewire navigation success rate, along with reduced movement and retraction distances and trajectories tend to the center of the vessels.

Semi-supervised medical image segmentation (SSMIS) has witnessed substantial advancements by leveraging limited labeled data and abundant unlabeled data. Nevertheless, existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods encounter challenges in accurately predicting labels for the unlabeled data, giving rise to disruptive noise during training and susceptibility to erroneous information overfitting. Moreover, applying perturbations to inaccurate predictions further reduces consistent learning. To address these concerns, we propose a novel Cross-head mutual mean-teaching Network (CMMT-Net) incorporated strong-weak data augmentation, thereby benefitting both self-training and consistency learning. Specifically, our CMMT-Net consists of both teacher-student peer networks with a share encoder and dual slightly different decoders, and the pseudo labels generated by one mean teacher head are adopted to supervise the other student branch to achieve a mutual consistency. Furthermore, we propose mutual virtual adversarial training (MVAT) to smooth the decision boundary and enhance feature representations. To diversify the consistency training samples, we employ Cross-Set CutMix strategy, which also helps address distribution mismatch issues. Notably, CMMT-Net simultaneously implements data, feature, and network perturbations, amplifying model diversity and generalization performance. Experimental results on three publicly available datasets indicate that our approach yields remarkable improvements over previous SOTA methods across various semi-supervised scenarios.

The automated segmentation of Intracranial Arteries (IA) in Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) plays a crucial role in the quantification of vascular morphology, significantly contributing to computer-assisted stroke research and clinical practice. Current research primarily focuses on the segmentation of single-frame DSA using proprietary datasets. However, these methods face challenges due to the inherent limitation of single-frame DSA, which only partially displays vascular contrast, thereby hindering accurate vascular structure representation. In this work, we introduce DIAS, a dataset specifically developed for IA segmentation in DSA sequences. We establish a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating DIAS, covering full, weak, and semi-supervised segmentation methods. Specifically, we propose the vessel sequence segmentation network, in which the sequence feature extraction module effectively captures spatiotemporal representations of intravascular contrast, achieving intracranial artery segmentation in 2D+Time DSA sequences. For weakly-supervised IA segmentation, we propose a novel scribble learning-based image segmentation framework, which, under the guidance of scribble labels, employs cross pseudo-supervision and consistency regularization to improve the performance of the segmentation network. Furthermore, we introduce the random patch-based self-training framework, aimed at alleviating the performance constraints encountered in IA segmentation due to the limited availability of annotated DSA data. Our extensive experiments on the DIAS dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods as potential baselines for future research and clinical applications. The dataset and code are publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11396520 and https://github.com/lseventeen/DIAS.

Since first proposed, Video Instance Segmentation(VIS) task has attracted vast researchers' focus on architecture modeling to boost performance. Though great advances achieved in online and offline paradigms, there are still insufficient means to identify model errors and distinguish discrepancies between methods, as well approaches that correctly reflect models' performance in recognizing object instances of various temporal lengths remain barely available. More importantly, as the fundamental model abilities demanded by the task, spatial segmentation and temporal association are still understudied in both evaluation and interaction mechanisms. In this paper, we introduce TIVE, a Toolbox for Identifying Video instance segmentation Errors. By directly operating output prediction files, TIVE defines isolated error types and weights each type's damage to mAP, for the purpose of distinguishing model characters. By decomposing localization quality in spatial-temporal dimensions, model's potential drawbacks on spatial segmentation and temporal association can be revealed. TIVE can also report mAP over instance temporal length for real applications. We conduct extensive experiments by the toolbox to further illustrate how spatial segmentation and temporal association affect each other. We expect the analysis of TIVE can give the researchers more insights, guiding the community to promote more meaningful explorations for video instance segmentation. The proposed toolbox is available at https://github.com/wenhe-jia/TIVE., Comment: 11pages, 6 figures

Many recent machine learning models show dynamic shape characteristics. However, existing AI compiler optimization systems suffer a lot from problems brought by dynamic shape models, including compilation overhead, memory usage, optimization pipeline and deployment complexity. This paper provides a compiler system to natively support optimization for dynamic shape workloads, named DISC. DISC enriches a set of IR to form a fully dynamic shape representation. It generates the runtime flow at compile time to support processing dynamic shape based logic, which avoids the interpretation overhead at runtime and enlarges the opportunity of host-device co-optimization. It addresses the kernel fusion problem of dynamic shapes with shape propagation and constraints collecting methods. This is the first work to demonstrate how to build an end-to-end dynamic shape compiler based on MLIR infrastructure. Experiments show that DISC achieves up to 3.3x speedup than TensorFlow/PyTorch, and 1.8x than Nimble.

We show in this work that memory intensive computations can result in severe performance problems due to off-chip memory access and CPU-GPU context switch overheads in a wide range of deep learning models. For this problem, current just-in-time (JIT) kernel fusion and code generation techniques have limitations, such as rough fusion plan exploration strategies and limited code generation ability. We propose FusionStitching, a deep learning compiler capable of fusing memory intensive operators, with varied data dependencies and non-homogeneous parallelism, into large GPU kernels to reduce global memory access and context switch overhead automatically. FusionStitching widens the range of operation combinations that fusion can target beyond previous JIT works by introducing data reuse of intermediate values. It explores large fusion spaces to decide optimal fusion plans with considerations of memory access costs, kernel calls and resource usage constraints. FusionStitching tunes the optimal stitching scheme with a domain-specific cost model efficiently. Experimental results show that FusionStitching can reach up to 2.21x speedup compared to state-of-the-art, with 1.45x on average. Besides these experimental results, we integrated our approach into a compiler product and deployed it onto a production cluster for AI workloads with thousands of GPUs. The system has been in operation for more than 4 months and saves 7,000 GPU hours on average for approximately 30,000 tasks per month.
