Watermarking for Proprietary Dataset Protection

John Kirchenbauer, Brian R. Bartoldson, Bhavya Kailkhura +1

A growing body of literature suggests that training data membership inference problems are fundamentally hard tasks in modern language modeling settings. We argue that output water…

End-to-End Context Compression at Scale

Ang Li, Sean McLeish, Haozhe Chen +12

Long-context language model inference is bottlenecked by memory, as the KV cache grows with context length. Recent techniques to compress the KV cache fall short: they either degra…

Multi-Token Prediction via Self-Distillation

John Kirchenbauer, Abhimanyu Hans, Brian Bartoldson +3

Existing techniques for accelerating language model inference, such as speculative decoding, require training auxiliary speculator models and building and deploying complex inferen…

LongCoT: Benchmarking Long-Horizon Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Sumeet Ramesh Motwani, Daniel Nichols, Charles London +17

As language models are increasingly deployed for complex autonomous tasks, their ability to reason accurately over longer horizons becomes critical. An essential component of this…

Get RICH or Die Scaling: Profitably Trading Inference Compute for Robustness

Tavish McDonald, Bo Lei, Stanislav Fort +2

Test-time reasoning has raised benchmark performances and even shown promise in addressing the historically intractable problem of making models robust to adversarially out-of-dist…

A Comedy of Estimators: On KL Regularization in RL Training of LLMs

Vedant Shah, Johan Obando-Ceron, Vineet Jain +10

The reasoning performance of large language models (LLMs) can be substantially improved by training them with reinforcement learning (RL). The RL objective for LLM training involve…
