arXiv:2604. 26170v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adapting large language models (LLMs) to a targeted task efficiently and effectively remains a fundamental challenge.
Prompt2Skill is an unsupervised framework that constructs skills for Large Language Models directly from natural‑language task descriptions. It automatically derives task specifications, discovers or synthesizes datasets, and refines the skill through a reflective editing loop. In experiments across question answering, reading comprehension, spreadsheet manipulation, and mathematical reasoning, Prompt2Skill outperforms direct prompting, improving performance by an average of 10.8 points on both open‑source and frontier models.

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.
The paper introduces Retrieval-Augmented Decoding (RAD), a decoding-time method that improves the truthfulness of large language models without retraining. RAD uses a small reference set of up to ten annotated examples to build a grounding space of context embeddings and next-token logits, which it retrieves and aggregates during inference to shape the model’s output. Experiments on four open-ended generation benchmarks and four different LLMs show that RAD consistently outperforms strong baselines and generalizes well across tasks.
