arXiv:2607. 11889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models trained on unrestricted internet corpora inevitably embed information from the future, introducing lookahead bias that compromises the validity of backtests and causal inference in finance and the social sciences.
arXiv:2601. 22146v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Due to limited supervised training data, large language models (LLMs) are typically pre-trained via a self-supervised "predict the next word" objective on a vast amount of unstructured text data.
arXiv:2607. 17524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose Token-Level Off-Policy Labeling (TOPL), an off-policy training paradigm that reframes post-training as a token-level correctness prediction task.
arXiv:2606. 26807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a new method that allows an LLM to automatically pull in factual knowledge from a knowledge base during token generation.
arXiv:2607. 09236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning in LLMs is the targeted removal of specific knowledge while preserving all other capabilities, critical for privacy and safety.
arXiv:2608. 15507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A consistent concept of the current time is important for temporal reasoning, yet how language models represent the current time is not well understood.
arXiv:2604. 13977v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic data is a standard component in training large language models, yet systematic comparisons across design dimensions, including rephrasing strategy, generator model, and source data, remain absent.
arXiv:2606. 27881v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Temporal variation poses a unique challenge for named entity recognition (NER) in historical texts, where entities drift in surface form and salience across time.
Prompted knowledge cutoff instructs a large language model (LLM) to act as if information beyond a specified cutoff date were unavailable. However, prior work mainly relies on direct-answer generation, which struggles when post-cutoff knowledge is not explicitly queried but is only causally related to the question.
We propose Token-Level Off-Policy Labeling (TOPL), an off-policy training paradigm that reframes post-training as a token-level correctness prediction task. Our key intuition is that by training the model to distinguish good and bad tokens in a response, we naturally guide the model towards generating good tokens, while avoiding the pitfalls that come with directly training the model to generate off-policy tokens.
arXiv:2510. 07074v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Instruction tuning has become a key technique for enhancing the performance of large language models, enabling them to better follow human prompts.
arXiv:2606. 06320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning aims to remove targeted knowledge from a trained model while preserving its general capabilities.
