Writing a sentence of exactly twelve words; ending a DNA sequence at the right codon; formatting an ASCII table. These are all tasks that language models can do that requires tracking how many tokens remain before a target.
arXiv:2607. 23361v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language generation in the limit is an elegant model introduced by Kleinberg and Mullainathan [KM24] to formally study language generation by an algorithm that learns solely based on example strings.

arXiv:2511. 15709v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent works have shown that tokenisation is NP-complete.

arXiv:2607. 12443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the power of large language models, there has been renewed interest in the Gold-Angluin model of language identification in the limit, with an eye toward variants of the model that might overcome the negative results for its original formulation.

arXiv:2606. 18856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequence labelling, a core task of Natural Language Processing (NLP), consists in assigning each token of an input sentence a label.

arXiv:2605. 04344v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper develops a statistical theory of extrapolation for large language models, by reinterpreting them through pre-post-additive noise models.

arXiv:2507. 05972v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pseudoentropy characterizations give quantitatively precise formulations of the relationship between computational hardness and computational randomness.

arXiv:2601. 12621v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: It is well known that computing a minimum deterministic finite automaton consistent with a given set of positive and negative examples is NP-hard.

arXiv:2608. 01935v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prior work in Ancient Greek NLP relies on corpora that do not disambiguate the phonemic vowel length of alpha, iota, and ypsilon, together known as the dichrona.

arXiv:2605. 05066v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We identify and prove a fundamental trade-off governing long-sequence models: no model can simultaneously achieve (i) per-step computation independent of sequence length (Efficiency), (ii) state size independent of sequence length (Compactness), and (iii) the ability to recall a number of historical facts proportional to sequence length (Recall).
