arXiv:2303. 15619v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The choice of \emph{which} tokens to mask is a central, under-examined design decision in masked language modeling (MLM).
arXiv:2606. 12232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Masked diffusion language models (dLLMs) have recently emerged as a competitive alternative to autoregressive language models, with the promise of faster inference via parallel token generation.
arXiv:2605. 26436v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Discrete masked diffusion language models such as LLaDA generate text through iterative denoising, where mask tokens are progressively replaced with predicted tokens.
arXiv:2604. 18738v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion language models (dLLMs) generate text through iterative denoising, filling multiple masked positions at each step.
Masked diffusion language models (dLLMs) have recently emerged as a competitive alternative to autoregressive language models, with the promise of faster inference via parallel token generation. A notable limitation of the masked formulation, however, is that once a token has been unmasked it can no longer be revised, leaving dLLMs vulnerable to early sampling mistakes.
arXiv:2606. 10829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked diffusion language models can reduce inference steps by revealing multiple tokens per denoising iteration, but this parallelism is fragile: positions that are individually confident may be unsafe to commit together when their predictions are coupled.

Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific training data while preserving model utility. Many state-of-the-art approaches pursue this goal by restricting the forgetting update to a subset of parameters selected through gradient-based saliency.
arXiv:2608. 20169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a novel approach to efficient LLM agent harness optimization through adaptive validation task selection.
arXiv:2606. 06888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical scaling laws for language model pretraining balance model size against training dataset size under a fixed compute budget, assuming abundant data and a single pass over the corpus.

arXiv:2511. 20849v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a new tokenizer for language models that minimizes the average tokens per character, thereby reducing the number of tokens needed to represent text during training and to generate text during inference.
arXiv:2606. 08105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When attention concentrates on a single token, a sink, what is the model actually computing?
