Goose: Anisotropic Speculation Trees for Training-Free Speculative Decoding

Tao Jin, Phuong Minh Nguyen, Naoya Inoue

Speculative decoding accelerates large language model inference by drafting multiple candidate tokens and verifying them in a single forward pass. Candidates are organized as a tre…

Task Vectors, Learned Not Extracted: Performance Gains and Mechanistic Insight

Haolin Yang, Hakaze Cho, Kaize Ding +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) can perform new tasks from in-context demonstrations, a phenomenon known as in-context learning (ICL). Recent work suggests that these demonstrations a…

Localizing Task Recognition and Task Learning in In-Context Learning via Attention Head Analysis

Haolin Yang, Hakaze Cho, Naoya Inoue

We investigate the mechanistic underpinnings of in-context learning (ICL) in large language models by reconciling two dominant perspectives: the component-level analysis of attenti…

Unifying Attention Heads and Task Vectors via Hidden State Geometry in In-Context Learning

Haolin Yang, Hakaze Cho, Yiqiao Zhong +1

The unusual properties of in-context learning (ICL) have prompted investigations into the internal mechanisms of large language models. Prior work typically focuses on either speci…

Mechanistic Fine-tuning for In-context Learning

Hakaze Cho, Peng Luo, Mariko Kato +2

In-context Learning (ICL) utilizes structured demonstration-query inputs to induce few-shot learning on Language Models (LMs), which are not originally pre-trained on ICL-style dat…

Affinity and Diversity: A Unified Metric for Demonstration Selection via Internal Representations

Mariko Kato, Hakaze Cho, Yoshihiro Sakai +1

The performance of In-Context Learning (ICL) is highly sensitive to the selected demonstrations. Existing approaches to demonstration selection optimize different objectives, yield…

StaICC: Standardized Evaluation for Classification Task in In-context Learning

Hakaze Cho, Naoya Inoue

Classification tasks are widely investigated in the In-Context Learning (ICL) paradigm. However, current efforts are evaluated on disjoint benchmarks and settings, while their perf…

Phase Diagram of Vision Large Language Models Inference: A Perspective from Interaction across Image and Instruction

Houjing Wei, Yuting Shi, Naoya Inoue

Vision Large Language Models (VLLMs) usually take input as a concatenation of image token embeddings and text token embeddings and conduct causal modeling. However, their internal…

Revisiting In-context Learning Inference Circuit in Large Language Models

Hakaze Cho, Mariko Kato, Yoshihiro Sakai +1

In-context Learning (ICL) is an emerging few-shot learning paradigm on Language Models (LMs) with inner mechanisms un-explored. There are already existing works describing the inne…

Token-based Decision Criteria Are Suboptimal in In-context Learning

Hakaze Cho, Yoshihiro Sakai, Mariko Kato +3

In-Context Learning (ICL) typically utilizes classification criteria from output probabilities of manually selected label tokens. However, we argue that such token-based classifica…

Understanding Token Probability Encoding in Output Embeddings

Hakaze Cho, Yoshihiro Sakai, Kenshiro Tanaka +2

In this paper, we investigate the output token probability information in the output embedding of language models. We find an approximate common log-linear encoding of output token…

NoisyICL: A Little Noise in Model Parameters Calibrates In-context Learning

Yufeng Zhao, Yoshihiro Sakai, Naoya Inoue

In-Context Learning (ICL) is suffering from unsatisfactory performance and under-calibration due to high prior bias and unfaithful confidence. Some previous works fine-tuned langua…
