Large Language Model Meets Constraint Propagation

Alexandre Bonlarron, Florian Régin, Elisabetta De Maria +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at generating fluent text but struggle to enforce external constraints because they generate tokens sequentially without explicit control mechani…

Combining Constraint Programming Reasoning with Large Language Model Predictions

Florian Régin, Elisabetta De Maria, Alexandre Bonlarron

Constraint Programming (CP) and Machine Learning (ML) face challenges in text generation due to CP's struggle with implementing "meaning'' and ML's difficulty with structural const…

Markov Constraint as Large Language Model Surrogate

Alexandre Bonlarron, Jean-Charles Régin

This paper presents NgramMarkov, a variant of the Markov constraints. It is dedicated to text generation in constraint programming (CP). It involves a set of n-grams (i.e., sequenc…

Intertwining CP and NLP: The Generation of Unreasonably Constrained Sentences

Alexandre Bonlarron, Jean-Charles Régin

Constrained text generation remains a challenging task, particularly when dealing with hard constraints. Traditional NLP approaches prioritize generating meaningful and coherent ou…

Constraints First: A New MDD-based Model to Generate Sentences Under Constraints

Alexandre Bonlarron, Aurélie Calabrèse, Pierre Kornprobst +1

This paper introduces a new approach to generating strongly constrained texts. We consider standardized sentence generation for the typical application of vision screening. To solv…
