The findings identify the denoising trajectory as a new control channel in dLLMs and call for bias audits that examine the serving stack rather than the frozen model alone.

Linear attention enables efficient long-context autoregressive decoding by compressing history into recurrent states, but this compression can make selective access to sparse and distant information difficult. Existing chunk-based extensions increase memory capacity, yet learned chunk-mixing coefficients may remain fix...

Continuous language flows generate text by denoising all positions of a target canvas together. The natural way to add reasoning to such a model is to write a trace ahead of the answer, but the trace length changes from question to question. The answer start is therefore unknown during denoising, and the model has to d...

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) achieves parameter-efficient fine-tuning by constraining model updates to a low-rank subspace and has been widely used in practice. However, LoRA typically employs a shared low-rank update across tokens, which limits its ability to fully exploit the adaptation subspace for tokens from differe...

LLM agents are increasingly built for medical work and scored on clinical benchmarks. Each such score, however, comes from a model running inside an agent harness, the system that controls the loop between the model and its environment. An agent's score is therefore a property of a model--harness pair. For medical agen...
Reasoning models write most of their KV cache while decoding long chains of thought (CoT), so the cache has to be compressed online under a fixed memory budget. Decode-time methods mostly decide which tokens to evict. We ask how a fixed byte budget should be split between the number of cached tokens and their precision...
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) for low-resource languages remains a major challenge. Sinhala, the primary language of Sri Lanka with about 16 million speakers, illustrates the difficulty: agglutinative morphology, a 54-phoneme inventory, subject-object-verb (SOV) syntax and scarce annotated speech data limit both c...
Visual entailment (VE) asks whether an image supports, contradicts, or leaves undecided a textual hypothesis. Strong results come from fine-tuning large vision-language models on labelled data, while zero-shot and hybrid approaches remain far behind. A VE hypothesis often bundles several visual claims, yet existing zer...

Language models process and generate text sequentially in token units, and the tokenizer determines how much text each inference step covers. Under standard tokenization, a short English phrase such as"On the table."is usually produced as four separate predictions for the preposition (On), article (the), noun (table),...
As pretraining increasingly repeats data, every run faces three questions: how many epochs to take, how that number should change with model size, and whether anything besides the epoch count matters. We answer them by pricing a repeated token against two references: one epoch on the same data, which gives its value, a...
Human--LLM interaction datasets shape our understanding of AI use and provide a foundation for downstream research, including training and evaluation of user models. In recent years, a growing number of datasets have sought to capture a representative picture of human--LLM interactions. But how different are the pictur...
We explain autocorrelation decay power laws omnipresent in texts by self-organized criticality. Specifically, we analyze the recently released KLiCKe keystroke dataset and show that not only the final texts' autocorrelations form a manifold that adheres to a power law with a finite-size scaling, but also the text revis...
