Spatial Induction Heads: In-Context Learning of Multidimensional Cellular Automata

Kimia Kazemian, Menghan Xu, John Thickstun +1

Induction heads provide a mechanistic account of in-context learning in sequential data, but existing theory largely assumes that the context relevant to a prediction forms a conti…

Large Language Continuous Diffusion Models

Zhihan Yang, Wei Guo, Jean-Marie Lemercier +14

Despite the success of discrete diffusion language models (dLMs) for fast parallel decoding, their non-smooth, high-dimensional space hinders trajectory steering for reasoning and…

Unlocking Lossless Speedups in LLMs via Discrete Diffusion

Subham Sekhar Sahoo, Lingjie Chen, Khiem Pham +14

Large Language Models (LLMs) owe much of their success to next-token prediction (NTP), but their autoregressive (AR) structure requires slow, sequential token generation. To overco…

From Forensics to Ecosystems: Rethinking Watermarks for Generative AI Oversight

Daniel Susser, John Thickstun, Gili Vidan

The arrival of generative AI as a cheap, widely accessible commercial service, and the tidal wave of AI-generated synthetic content it has unleashed, have provoked deep epistemic a…

Music Transcription with (Almost) No Supervision

Saebyeol Shin, Chao Wan, Zhenzhen Liu +4

Competitive music transcription models require large amounts of paired audio-score data, which is scarce due to collection costs, alignment difficulty, and copyright restrictions.…
