SimSD: Simple Speculative Decoding in Diffusion Language Models
Junxia Cui, Haotian Ye, Runchu Tian +9
Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive (AR) LLMs, offering faster inference through parallel or blockwise decodi…

Cog-DRIFT: Exploration on Adaptively Reformulated Instances Enables Learning from Hard Reasoning Problems
Justin Chih-Yao Chen, Archiki Prasad, Zaid Khan +4
Reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) has improved the reasoning abilities of LLMs, yet a fundamental limitation remains: models cannot learn from problems that are…

Distance between Relevant Information Pieces Causes Bias in Long-Context LLMs
Runchu Tian, Yanghao Li, Yuepeng Fu +10
Positional bias in large language models (LLMs) hinders their ability to effectively process long inputs. A prominent example is the "lost in the middle" phenomenon, where LLMs str…
