Surfing the Activation Wave: Analyzing the Information and Geometry of LLM Hidden States for Speculative Decoding
Raghavv Goel, Sudhanshu Agrawal, Mukul Gagrani +2
Decoder hidden states from different layers of large language models (LLMs) often encode complementary information. However, existing speculative decoding methods typically rely on…
ConFu: Contemplate the Future for Better Speculative Sampling
Zongyue Qin, Raghavv Goel, Mukul Gagrani +3
Speculative decoding has emerged as a powerful approach to accelerate large language model (LLM) inference by employing lightweight draft models to propose candidate tokens that ar…
Efficient Training-Free Multi-Token Prediction via Embedding-Space Probing
Raghavv Goel, Mukul Gagrani, Mingu Lee +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) possess latent multi-token prediction (MTP) abilities despite being trained only for next-token generation. We introduce ESP (Embedding-Space Probing),…
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…
