Prism: Efficient Test-Time Scaling via Hierarchical Search and Self-Verification for Discrete Diffusion Language Models

Jinbin Bai, Yixuan Li, Yuchen Zhu +8

Inference-time compute has re-emerged as a practical way to improve LLM reasoning. Most test-time scaling (TTS) algorithms rely on autoregressive decoding, which is ill-suited to d…

Towards Interpretability Without Sacrifice: Faithful Dense Layer Decomposition with Mixture of Decoders

James Oldfield, Shawn Im, Sharon Li +3

Multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) are an integral part of large language models, yet their dense representations render them difficult to understand, edit, and steer. Recent methods le…

DaWin: Training-free Dynamic Weight Interpolation for Robust Adaptation

Changdae Oh, Yixuan Li, Kyungwoo Song +2

Adapting a pre-trained foundation model on downstream tasks should ensure robustness against distribution shifts without the need to retrain the whole model. Although existing weig…

Understanding the Learning Dynamics of Alignment with Human Feedback

Shawn Im, Yixuan Li

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human intentions has become a critical task for safely deploying models in real-world systems. While existing alignment approaches have s…
