FLEET: From Logits Entropy to Enhanced Trajectories in Text Generation

FLEET is a new method for text generation that adds a memory mechanism to large language models. It represents each generation as a sparse trajectory of high‑entropy states and uses these trajectories to compute per‑token utility scores that adjust the logits. Benchmarks show that FLEET matches the accuracy of repeated sampling while being three times faster and improving accuracy on complex coding tasks, all with minimal changes to existing pipelines.

Breaking the Likelihood Trap: Variance-Calibrated Modulation for Large Language Model Decoding

The paper introduces Variance‑Calibrated Modulation (VCM), a training‑free pre‑decoding technique that reshapes language model probability distributions before truncation. VCM uses two dynamic mechanisms: a Contextual Searchlight via PMI to suppress stopwords and highlight context‑relevant tokens, and an Adaptive Self‑Debiasing that applies scale‑invariant penalization based on real‑time logit standard deviation. Experiments on open‑ended generation, factual QA, and mathematical reasoning show that VCM consistently reduces the likelihood trap, improving diversity, coherence, and reasoning accuracy with minimal computational cost.
