What LLM Forecasters Know but Don't Say: Probing Internal Representations for Calibration and Faithfulness

arXiv:2607. 08046v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models fine-tuned for forecasting can be accurate yet poorly calibrated, and their chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning may not faithfully reflect the evidence behind a forecast.

When Synthetic Speech Is All You Have: Better Call GRPO

arXiv:2607. 08409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based ASR adapted to regulated domains such as banking is bottlenecked by privacy: real speech is costly and legally constrained to collect, making synthetic text-to-speech (TTS) an attractive substitute.

Structured Pruning of Large Language Models via Power Transformation and Sign-Preserving Score Aggregation with Adaptive Feature Retention

arXiv:2607. 08027v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper proposes an improved structured pruning method for large language models (LLMs) that addresses key challenges in adapting Adaptive Feature Retention (AFR), an unstructured pruning technique, to structured pruning.

BlockServe: Block-Grained Continuous Batching for High-Throughput Diffusion LLM Serving

Efficient serving of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is hindered by convergence heterogeneity: when batching multiple requests, different sequences converge at different rates, causing faster requests to stall behind slower stragglers and introducing compute bubbles and tail latency. We present BlockServe, a continuous batching framework that integrates block-grained scheduling -- immediately evicting completed requests at block boundaries -- with mixed-state execution that extends dual cache and parallel decoding to heterogeneous batches via gather-scatter indexing.

GATS: Graph-Augmented Tree Search with Layered World Models for Efficient Agent Planning

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have shown promise in multi-step planning tasks, but existing approaches like LATS (Language Agent Tree Search) and ReAct rely heavily on LLM inference during planning, leading to high computational costs and stochastic behavior. We present \textbf{GATS} (Graph-Augmented Tree Search), a planning framework that combines systematic UCB1-based tree search with a layered world model to eliminate LLM calls during inference while achieving superior planning performance.

Spectral Origins of the Self-Correction Blind Spot in Autoregressive Generation

Large autoregressive language models exhibit a self-correction blind spot: they reliably fix identical errors when attributed to an external source yet fail to fix the same errors in their own outputs. Prior work has documented this phenomenon empirically, through controlled error injection, error-depth decompositions, RL-based verifier-corrector training, and intrinsic self-verification, but offers no formal model of why generating a token suppresses the ability to detect its error, no quantitative activation condition for correction markers, and no convergence guarantee for reinforcement-learning-based self-correction.
