Fast-Decoding Diffusion Language Models via Progress-Aware Confidence Schedules

Amr Mohamed, Yang Zhang, Michalis Vazirgiannis +1

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) offer a promising alternative to autoregressive models, but their practical utility is severely hampered by slow, iterative sampling. We pre…

UDA: Unsupervised Debiasing Alignment for Pair-wise LLM-as-a-Judge

Yang Zhang, Cunxiang Wang, Lindong Wu +4

Pairwise evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs) is a common paradigm, but it is prone to preference bias, where judges systematically favor certain outputs, such as their own.…

Uncovering Cross-Linguistic Disparities in LLMs using Sparse Autoencoders

Richmond Sin Jing Xuan, Jalil Huseynov, Yang Zhang

Multilingual large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong cross-linguistic generalization, yet medium to low resource languages underperform on common benchmarks such as ARC-Challen…

Lost in the Mix: Evaluating LLM Understanding of Code-Switched Text

Amr Mohamed, Yang Zhang, Michalis Vazirgiannis +1

Code-switching (CSW) is the act of alternating between two or more languages within a single discourse. This phenomenon is widespread in multilingual communities, and increasingly…

Beyond Random Sampling: Efficient Language Model Pretraining via Curriculum Learning

Yang Zhang, Amr Mohamed, Hadi Abdine +2

Curriculum learning-organizing training data from easy to hard-has improved efficiency across machine learning domains, yet remains underexplored for language model pretraining. We…
