Shachi: A Modular, Controllable Framework for LLM-Based Agent-Based Modeling of Emergent Collective Behavior

So Kuroki, Yingtao Tian, Kou Misaki +3

How collective behaviors emerge from the interactions of individual LLM-driven agents is a central question in artificial life, yet controlled study of these emergent dynamics has…

String Seed of Thought: Prompting LLMs for Distribution-Faithful and Diverse Generation

Kou Misaki, Takuya Akiba

We introduce String Seed of Thought (SSoT), a novel prompting method for LLMs that improves Probabilistic Instruction Following (PIF). We define PIF as a task requiring an LLM to s…

UnMaskFork: Test-Time Scaling for Masked Diffusion via Deterministic Action Branching

Kou Misaki, Takuya Akiba

Test-time scaling strategies have effectively leveraged inference-time compute to enhance the reasoning abilities of Autoregressive Large Language Models. In this work, we demonstr…

Wider or Deeper? Scaling LLM Inference-Time Compute with Adaptive Branching Tree Search

Yuichi Inoue, Kou Misaki, Yuki Imajuku +3

Recent advances demonstrate that increasing inference-time computation can significantly boost the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Although repeated samplin…

TAID: Temporally Adaptive Interpolated Distillation for Efficient Knowledge Transfer in Language Models

Makoto Shing, Kou Misaki, Han Bao +2

Causal language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, but their size poses significant challenges for deployment in resource-constrained environments. Knowledge distill…
