SCOPE: A Generative Approach for LLM Prompt Compression

SCOPE is a training‑free generative prompt‑compression framework that reduces LLM input length by chunking a prompt into semantically coherent segments, rewriting each chunk to be more concise, and then reconstructing a coherent prompt. Unlike token‑removal methods, SCOPE’s chunk‑level rewriting preserves critical information and text coherence, and includes optimization techniques for finer‑grained control of compression ratios. Extensive evaluations on question‑answering and summarization tasks show that SCOPE consistently outperforms selective compression baselines, especially at high compression ratios.

PARTREP: Learning What to Repeat for Decoder-only LLMs

While decoder-only LLMs excel at a vast array of natural language tasks, it suffers from an asymmetric information flow induced by causal attention: later tokens are richer in contextual grounding than earlier ones. A simple and effective remedy is prompt repetition -- just appending a second copy of prompt before generation can redistribute grounding across positions and improve reasoning performance.
