Early Decisions Matter: Proximity Bias and Initial Trajectory Shaping in Non-Autoregressive Diffusion Language Models
Jiyeon Kim, Sungik Choi, Yongrae Jo +2
Diffusion-based language models (dLLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive language models, offering the potential for parallel token generation and bidirect…
Can Large Language Models Keep Up? Benchmarking Online Adaptation to Continual Knowledge Streams
Jiyeon Kim, Hyunji Lee, Dylan Zhou +6
LLMs operating in dynamic real-world contexts often encounter knowledge that evolves continuously or emerges incrementally. To remain accurate and effective, models must adapt to n…
Understanding and Enhancing Mamba-Transformer Hybrids for Memory Recall and Language Modeling
Hyunji Lee, Wenhao Yu, Hongming Zhang +4
Hybrid models that combine state space models (SSMs) with attention mechanisms have shown strong performance by leveraging the efficiency of SSMs and the high recall ability of att…
Latent Reasoning via Sentence Embedding Prediction
Hyeonbin Hwang, Byeongguk Jeon, Seungone Kim +7
Autoregressive language models (LMs) generate one token at a time, yet human reasoning operates over higher-level abstractions - sentences, propositions, and concepts. This contras…
How Does Vision-Language Adaptation Impact the Safety of Vision Language Models?
Seongyun Lee, Geewook Kim, Jiyeon Kim +4
Vision-Language adaptation (VL adaptation) transforms Large Language Models (LLMs) into Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) for multimodal tasks, but this process often compromise…
Knowledge Entropy Decay during Language Model Pretraining Hinders New Knowledge Acquisition
Jiyeon Kim, Hyunji Lee, Hyowon Cho +6
In this work, we investigate how a model's tendency to broadly integrate its parametric knowledge evolves throughout pretraining, and how this behavior affects overall performance,…
