Structuring The Future: Diffusion LLM Speculative Decoding via Calibrated Draft Graphs
Sudhanshu Agrawal, Risheek Garrepalli, Raghavv Goel +3
Diffusion LLMs (dLLMs) have recently emerged as a powerful alternative to autoregressive LLMs (AR-LLMs) with the potential to operate at significantly higher token-generation rates…
A Comparative analysis of Layer-wise Representational Capacity in AR and Diffusion LLMs
Raghavv Goel, Risheek Garrepalli, Sudhanshu Agrawal +3
Autoregressive (AR) language models build representations incrementally via left-to-right prediction, while diffusion language models (dLLMs) are trained through full-sequence deno…
VOCABTRIM: Vocabulary Pruning for Efficient Speculative Decoding in LLMs
Raghavv Goel, Sudhanshu Agrawal, Mukul Gagrani +9
In this paper, we introduce a simple training-free technique to improve the performance of drafter-based speculative decoding (SpD) methods that incorporates language modeling head…
AdaEDL: Early Draft Stopping for Speculative Decoding of Large Language Models via an Entropy-based Lower Bound on Token Acceptance Probability
Sudhanshu Agrawal, Wonseok Jeon, Mingu Lee
Speculative decoding is a powerful technique that attempts to circumvent the autoregressive constraint of modern Large Language Models (LLMs). The aim of speculative decoding techn…
