Early this morning, the outcomes of NeurIPS 2025, one of the most prestigious artificial intelligence conferences globally, were unveiled. This year, the conference saw a total of 5,524 paper submissions, boasting an overall acceptance rate of 24.52%. In the end, only four papers from around the world were honored with the Best Paper Award. The Alibaba Tongyi QianWen team emerged victorious, clinching this prestigious accolade for their cutting-edge research achievements in attention mechanisms. Their paper, for the very first time, sheds light on how attention gating influences the performance and training of large-scale models.
