DANTINOX: A Unified Framework for Multi-Paradigm Language Modeling
Marco Simoni, Aleksandar Fontana, Giulio Rossolini +1
Language generation research increasingly spans three paradigms: autoregressive decoding, discrete masked diffusion, and continuous flow-matching. Comparing them is difficult becau…
On the Hidden Objective Biases of Group-based Reinforcement Learning
Aleksandar Fontana, Marco Simoni, Giulio Rossolini +2
Group-based reinforcement learning methods, like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), are widely used nowadays to post-train large language models. Despite their empirical su…
TITAN: Graph-Executable Reasoning for Cyber Threat Intelligence
Marco Simoni, Aleksandar Fontana, Andrea Saracino +1
TITAN (Threat Intelligence Through Automated Navigation) is a framework that connects natural-language cyber threat queries with executable reasoning over a structured knowledge gr…
GTPO: Stabilizing Group Relative Policy Optimization via Gradient and Entropy Control
Marco Simoni, Aleksandar Fontana, Giulio Rossolini +2
Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is a promising policy-based approach for Large Language Model alignment, yet its performance is often limited by training instability and…
Improving LLM Reasoning for Vulnerability Detection via Group Relative Policy Optimization
Marco Simoni, Aleksandar Fontana, Giulio Rossolini +1
Improving and understanding the training dynamics and reasoning of Large Language Models (LLMs) has become essential for their deployment in AI-based security tools, such as softwa…
