Shorthand for Thought: Compressing LLM Reasoning via Entropy-Guided Supertokens
Zhenyu Zhao, Sander Land, Daniel M. Bikel +1
Reasoning in Large Language Models incurs significant inference-time compute, yet the token-level information structure of reasoning traces remains underexplored. We observe that r…
Accurate Failure Prediction in Agents Does Not Imply Effective Failure Prevention
Rakshith Vasudev, Melisa Russak, Dan Bikel +1
Proactive interventions by LLM critic models are often assumed to improve reliability, yet their effects at deployment time are poorly understood. We show that a binary LLM critic…
Reflect, Retry, Reward: Self-Improving LLMs via Reinforcement Learning
Shelly Bensal, Umar Jamil, Christopher Bryant +5
We explore a method for improving the performance of large language models through self-reflection and reinforcement learning. By incentivizing the model to generate better self-re…
Expect the Unexpected: FailSafe Long Context QA for Finance
Kiran Kamble, Melisa Russak, Dmytro Mozolevskyi +3
We propose a new long-context financial benchmark, FailSafeQA, designed to test the robustness and context-awareness of LLMs against six variations in human-interface interactions…
Writing in the Margins: Better Inference Pattern for Long Context Retrieval
Melisa Russak, Umar Jamil, Christopher Bryant +4
In this paper, we introduce Writing in the Margins (WiM), a new inference pattern for Large Language Models designed to optimize the handling of long input sequences in retrieval-o…
