Unlocking Parallelism in Autoregressive Language Models via Speculative Decoding with Progressive Tree Drafting

Zipeng Gao, Zhi Zheng, Qingrong Xia +5

Speculative decoding has significantly accelerated Large Language Model (LLM) inference by alleviating memory-bound bottlenecks. However, traditional speculative decoding typically…

Entropy-KL Divergence-based Token Masking: A Novel Approach for Selective Fine-tuning of Large Language Models

Qi Liu, Mingdi Sun, Yongyi He +5

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) followed by reinforcement learning (RL) has become a standard post-training paradigm for large language models. This paradigm provides a cold-start for…
