When More Becomes Less: Position-Dependent Repetition Effects in Language Models

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 04021v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cloze-style probes that vary how often a target token appears implicitly assume that more copies of a target affect prediction the same way regardless of where the readout slot sits.

Internal Data Repetition Destroys Language Models

arXiv:2606. 24998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models are running out of high-quality training data, and even aggressively deduplicated corpora retain some amount of repetition.

How Much is Left? LLMs Linearly Encode Their Remaining Output Length

arXiv:2607. 05316v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models generate one token at a time, yet their responses show remarkably consistent length structure: step-by-step solutions converge in predictable token counts, retrievals stop after a few sentences, retractions extend responses by measurable amounts.

Right Reset: Chunking by Prefix Removal

Removing the left context from a causal language model reveals a useful kind of boundary: an edge where the model processes the same right-hand tokens with little change. We turn this observation into prefix-removal probing and introduce Right Reset (RR), which measures preservation of the right-hand hidden-state trajectory.
