On The Effectiveness-Fluency Trade-Off In LLM Conditioning: A Systematic Study

Iuri Macocco, Pau Rodríguez, Arno Blaas +3

Controlling the output of Large Language Models (LLMs) is a central challenge for their reliable deployment, yet a clear understanding of the involved trade-offs remains elusive. C…

HyperTransport: Amortized Conditioning of T2I Generative Models

Valentino Maiorca, Eleonora Gualdoni, Xavier Suau +3

As foundation models grow in capability, the ability to efficiently and reliably control their behavior becomes critical. Fine-tuning these models can be costly, and while promptin…

Uncertainty Quantification for LLM Function-Calling

Zihuiwen Ye, Lukas Aichberger, Michael Kirchhof +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed to autonomously solve real-world tasks. A key ingredient for this is the LLM Function-Calling paradigm, a widely used approac…

Attention to Mamba: A Recipe for Cross-Architecture Distillation

Abhinav Moudgil, Ningyuan Huang, Eeshan Gunesh Dhekane +3

State Space Models (SSMs) such as Mamba have become a popular alternative to Transformer models, due to their reduced memory consumption and higher throughput at generation compare…

The Design Space of Tri-Modal Masked Diffusion Models

Louis Bethune, Victor Turrisi, Bruno Kacper Mlodozeniec +21

Discrete diffusion models have emerged as strong alternatives to autoregressive language models, with recent work initializing and fine-tuning a base unimodal model for bimodal gen…

DSO: Direct Steering Optimization for Bias Mitigation

Lucas Monteiro Paes, Nivedha Sivakumar, Yinong Oliver Wang +4

Generative models are often deployed to make decisions on behalf of users, such as vision-language models (VLMs) identifying which person in a room is a doctor to help visually imp…
