arXiv:2406. 05335v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generation of text and speech in natural languages can be modeled as a stochastic process.
Language has two parameters. Count how often words occur together and you estimate amplitude, the strength of association.
arXiv:2606. 06238v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a statistical-field framework for text generated by large language models (LLMs), treating token embeddings as continuous spin variables on a one-dimensional chain.
arXiv:2606. 08417v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion and continuous flow-based language models have emerged as the leading non-autoregressive alternatives to language modeling.
arXiv:2607. 07891v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Roy Harris's Integrationist linguistics offers a compelling critique of the referentialist tradition embedded deep at the heart of computational approaches to language, arguing that language is not a code that maps onto a pre-given world but a situated, bipartite activity oriented toward prospective joint action.
arXiv:2607. 03882v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs are increasingly deployed as post-hoc explainers of AI-generated outputs, yet it remains unclear whether they can reliably communicate probabilistic information in natural language.
arXiv:2608. 15798v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models are compared by their held-out per-token cross-entropy risk---the quantity scaling laws are fitted to.
arXiv:2604. 06543v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this work, we demonstrate that reliable stochastic sampling is a fundamental yet unfulfilled requirement for Large Language Models (LLMs) operating as agents.
arXiv:2606. 30815v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent work suggests that transformer language models show a bias towards human languages over unnatural ("impossible") languages argued to be unacquirable by humans.
arXiv:2604. 14180v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We train a 318M-parameter Transformer language model from scratch on a curated corpus of 1.
arXiv:2606. 24504v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We discuss reasons why the scaling exponents of current Large Language Models (LLMs) applications are indicating an unsustainable regime in terms of energy resources.
arXiv:2606. 07559v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fine-tuning a language model often fails silently when its correct completion must outrank a near-synonym competitor.
arXiv:2602. 07488v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the fact that experimental neural scaling laws have substantially guided empirical progress in large-scale machine learning, no existing theory can quantitatively predict the exponents of these important laws for any modern LLM trained on any natural language dataset.
