Selecting What Matters: Semantic Compression-Guided Selective Pooling for Long-Context Embeddings

The paper introduces SCSP, a training‑free framework that improves long‑context embeddings by selectively pooling informative tokens. SCSP partitions documents into sentence‑aware chunks, adds a semantic compression prompt to each chunk, and uses prompt‑isolated attention masks to estimate token importance. The selected tokens’ intermediate‑layer representations are aggregated to form the final embedding, yielding consistent performance gains across zero‑shot and fine‑tuned models on long‑context benchmarks.

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.

Compressing Sequences in the Latent Embedding Space: $K$-Token Merging for Large Language Models

The paper introduces K-Token Merging, a latent-space compression method that merges each contiguous block of K token embeddings into a single embedding using a lightweight encoder. The compressed sequence is then processed by a LoRA-adapted large language model, while generation continues in the original vocabulary. Experiments on tasks such as structural reasoning, sentiment classification, and code editing demonstrate that K-Token Merging achieves up to 75% input length reduction with minimal performance loss, placing it on the Pareto frontier of performance versus compression.

SenFlow: Inter-Sentence Flow Modeling for AI-Generated Text Detection in Hybrid Documents

Sentence-level AI-generated text detection (S-AGTD) for hybrid documents, where humans and LLMs co-author one text, faces two gaps: existing methods classify each sentence in isolation, discarding inter-sentence dependencies, and existing benchmarks omit the newest generation of generators. We construct MOSAIC, a benchmark of 16,000 hybrid documents over PubMed and XSum, generated by DeepSeek-V3.

Just Pass Twice: Efficient Token Classification with LLMs for Zero-Shot NER

Just Pass Twice (JPT) is a method that allows causal large language models to perform token classification for zero‑shot named entity recognition by concatenating the input with itself, giving each token full bidirectional context without architectural changes. The approach combines these representations with definition‑guided entity embeddings to enable flexible zero‑shot generalization. JPT achieves state‑of‑the‑art results, outperforming prior methods by an average of +7.9 F1 on CrossNER and MIT benchmarks and running over 20× faster than comparable generative approaches.

CausalEmbed: Auto-Regressive Multi-Vector Generation in Latent Space for Visual Document Embedding

CausalEmbed is an auto‑regressive method for generating compact multi‑vector embeddings in visual document retrieval. By using iterative margin loss during contrastive training, it reduces the number of visual tokens needed by 30‑155× while keeping performance competitive across different backbones and benchmarks. The approach offers efficient training, scalable test‑time performance, and a flexible scaling strategy for multi‑vector representations.
