Faster but Different: Diagnosing and Controlling Content Drift in Accelerated Multimodal Diffusion Language Models

Yaoxuan Dou, Yang Shu

Training-free acceleration makes diffusion-based multimodal large language models (dMLLMs) more deployable, but it may silently change generated content. We study this serving-time…

Gavel: Agent Meets Checklist for Evaluating LLMs on Long-Context Legal Summarization

Yao Dou, Benjamin Mamut, Wei Xu

Large language models (LLMs) now support contexts of up to 1M tokens, but their strengths and weaknesses on complex long-context tasks remain unclear. To study this, we focus on mu…

Improving Minimum Bayes Risk Decoding with Multi-Prompt

David Heineman, Yao Dou, Wei Xu

While instruction fine-tuned LLMs are effective text generators, sensitivity to prompt construction makes performance unstable and sub-optimal in practice. Relying on a single "bes…
