BCT: Bayes-Consistent Tempering for Flow Language Models

Daisuke Oba, Hiroki Furuta, Naoaki Okazaki

Temperature scaling is typically applied as a post-hoc transformation of model probabilities. In posterior-induced flow language models, this creates two mismatches. First, posteri…

Beyond Perplexity: UTF-8 Validity in Byte-aware Language Models

Sangwhan Moon, Daisuke Oba, Youmi Ma +2

Byte-level tokenization enables language models to handle any Unicode input, but models can generate invalid UTF-8 sequences when encountering rare or unseen characters. We investi…

Drifting Objectives for Refining Discrete Diffusion Language Models

Daisuke Oba, Hiroki Furuta, Naoaki Okazaki

Discrete diffusion language models (DDLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising categorical token sequences, while recent drifting methods for continuous generators suggest that…

JUBAKU: An Adversarial Benchmark for Exposing Culturally Grounded Stereotypes in Japanese LLMs

Taihei Shiotani, Masahiro Kaneko, Ayana Niwa +4

Social biases reflected in language are inherently shaped by cultural norms, which vary significantly across regions and lead to diverse manifestations of stereotypes. Existing eva…

Aligning Tree-Search Policies with Fixed Token Budgets in Test-Time Scaling of LLMs

Sora Miyamoto, Daisuke Oba, Naoaki Okazaki

Tree-search decoding is an effective form of test-time scaling for large language models (LLMs), but real-world deployment often imposes a fixed per-query token budget that varies…

From Correspondence to Actions: Human-Like Multi-Image Spatial Reasoning in Multi-modal Large Language Models

Masanari Oi, Koki Maeda, Ryuto Koike +3

While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made substantial progress in single-image spatial reasoning, multi-image spatial reasoning, which requires integration of inform…

Diffusion-State Policy Optimization for Masked Diffusion Language Models

Daisuke Oba, Hiroki Furuta, Naoaki Okazaki

Masked diffusion language models generate text through iterative masked-token filling, but terminal-only rewards on final completions provide coarse credit assignment for the inter…

Stopping Computation for Converged Tokens in Masked Diffusion-LM Decoding

Daisuke Oba, Danushka Bollegala, Masahiro Kaneko +1

Masked Diffusion Language Models generate sequences via iterative sampling that progressively unmasks tokens. However, they still recompute the attention and feed-forward blocks fo…

Best-of- -- Asymptotic Performance of Test-Time LLM Ensembling

Junpei Komiyama, Daisuke Oba, Masafumi Oyamada

We study best-of- for large language models (LLMs) where the selection is based on majority voting. In particular, we analyze the limit , which we denote as \boinf…

In-Contextual Gender Bias Suppression for Large Language Models

Daisuke Oba, Masahiro Kaneko, Danushka Bollegala

Despite their impressive performance in a wide range of NLP tasks, Large Language Models (LLMs) have been reported to encode worrying-levels of gender biases. Prior work has propos…

Dynamic Data Augmentation with Gating Networks for Time Series Recognition

Daisuke Oba, Shinnosuke Matsuo, Brian Kenji Iwana

Data augmentation is a technique to improve the generalization ability of machine learning methods by increasing the size of the dataset. However, since every augmentation method i…
