Step-Level Preference Learning for Generative Agents in Social Simulations

arXiv:2607. 14485v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based generative agents simulate human behavior through long-horizon decision-making processes that comprise intermediate steps such as planning, memory retrieval, reflection, and action selection.

Token Time Continuous Diffusion for Language Modeling

arXiv:2607. 14106v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper we introduce token time continuous diffusion (TTCD), a new diffusion language model which (a) operates in continuous space, deterministically mapping Gaussian noise to a final token canvas with no further sampling, and crucially (b) incorporates a new notion of per-token times, with some tokens proceeding from noise to token at a faster rate than others.

PolyQ: Codesigning End-to-End Quantization Framework for Scalable Edge CPU LLM Inference

arXiv:2607. 14618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: CPUs are the most universal target for on-device LLM inference, but existing low-bit quantization methods offer either coarse operating points or fine-grained mixed precision that is difficult to execute efficiently on CPUs.

Dysco: Dynamic Subspace Boosting to Mitigate LoRA Interference in Federated Learning

arXiv:2607. 14367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated fine-tuning of large pre-trained models increasingly relies on Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to reduce communication and computation, but heterogeneous clients can make adapter aggregation unstable.
