StateRAG: Typed State Contracts for Complex Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Miaohe Niu, Pengxiang Li, Lianlei Shan +3

Complex retrieval-augmented generation requires evidence retrieval and control over what to retrieve next, which paths to explore, whether evidence is sufficient, and which interme…

Diffusion Language Models Know the Answer Before Decoding

Pengxiang Li, Yefan Zhou, Dilxat Muhtar +5

Diffusion language models (DLMs) have recently emerged as an alternative to autoregressive approaches, offering parallel sequence generation and flexible token orders. However, the…

Why Diffusion Language Models Struggle with Truly Parallel (Non-Autoregressive) Decoding?

Pengxiang Li, Dilxat Muhtar, Tianlong Chen +2

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) are often advertised as enabling parallel token generation, yet practical fast DLMs frequently converge to left-to-right, autoregressive (AR)-like…

Double-Checker: Enhancing Reasoning of Slow-Thinking LLMs via Self-Critical Fine-Tuning

Xin Xu, Tianhao Chen, Fan Zhang +11

While slow-thinking large language models (LLMs) exhibit reflection-like reasoning, commonly referred to as the "aha moment:, their ability to generate informative critiques and re…

Adaptive Classifier-Free Guidance via Dynamic Low-Confidence Masking

Pengxiang Li, Shilin Yan, Joey Tsai +4

Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) significantly enhances controllability in generative models by interpolating conditional and unconditional predictions. However, standard CFG often e…
