- 01Scaling Properties of Continuous Diffusion Spoken Language ModelsSpeech-only spoken language models (SLMs) lag behind text and text-speech models in performance, with recent discrete autoregressive (AR) SLMs indicating significant computational and data demands to match text models. Since discretizing continuous speech for AR creates bottlenecks, we explore whether continuous diffusion (CD) SLM is more viable. To quantify the SLMs linguistic quality, we introduce the phoneme Jensen-Shannon divergence (pJSD) metric. Our analysis reveals CD SLMs, mirroring AR b
- 02Revisiting ASR Error Correction with Specialized ModelsLanguage models play a central role in automatic speech recognition (ASR), yet most methods rely on text-only models unaware of ASR error patterns. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have been applied to ASR correction, but introduce latency and hallucination concerns. We revisit ASR error correction with compact seq2seq models, trained on ASR errors from real and synthetic audio. To scale training, we construct synthetic corpora via cascaded TTS and ASR, finding that matching the diversity
- 03Path-Constrained Mixture-of-ExpertsSparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures route each token through a subset of experts at each layer independently. We propose viewing MoE computation through the lens of expert paths—the sequence of expert selections a token makes across all layers. This perspective reveals that, despite N^L possible paths for N experts across L layers, tokens in practice cluster into a small fraction of paths that align with linguistic function, yet the vast majority of paths remain unexplored, representin
- 04Multi-Agent Teams Hold Experts BackMulti-agent LLM systems are increasingly deployed as autonomous collaborators, where agents interact freely rather than execute fixed, pre-specified workflows. In such settings, effective coordination cannot be fully designed in advance and must instead emerge through interaction. However, most prior work enforces coordination through fixed roles, workflows, or aggregation rules, leaving open the question of how well self-organizing teams perform when coordination is unconstrained. Drawing on or
- 05VideoFlexTok: Flexible-Length Coarse-to-Fine Video TokenizationVisual tokenizers map high-dimensional raw pixels into a compressed representation for downstream modeling. Beyond compression, tokenizers dictate what information is preserved and how it is organized. A de facto standard approach to video tokenization is to represent a video as a spatiotemporal 3D grid of tokens, each capturing the corresponding local information in the original signal. This requires the downstream model that consumes the tokens, e.g., a text-to-video model, to learn to predict
- 06Amortizing Maximum Inner Product Search with Learned Support FunctionsMaximum inner product search (MIPS) is a crucial subroutine in machine learning, requiring the identification of a vector taken within a database (the keys) that best aligns with a given query. We propose amortized MIPS: a regression-based approach that trains neural networks to directly predict MIPS solutions, amortizing the cost of repeatedly solving MIPS for queries drawn from a known distribution over a fixed key database. Our key insight is that the MIPS value function is the support functi
- 07On Robustness and Chain-of-Thought Consistency of RL-Finetuned VLMsReinforcement learning (RL) finetuning has become a key technique for enhancing large language models (LLMs) on reasoning-intensive tasks, motivating its extension to vision language models (VLMs). While RL-tuned VLMs improve on visual reasoning benchmarks, they remain vulnerable to weak visual grounding, hallucinations, and over-reliance on textual cues. We show that simple, controlled textual perturbations—misleading captions or incorrect chain-of-thought (CoT) traces—cause substantial drops i
- 08MemoryLLM: Plug-n-Play Interpretable Feed-Forward Memory for TransformersUnderstanding how transformer components operate in LLMs is important, as it is at the core of recent technological advances in artificial intelligence. In this work, we revisit the challenges associated with interpretability of feed-forward modules (FFNs) and propose MemoryLLM, which aims to decouple FFNs from self-attention and enables us to study the decoupled FFNs as context-free token-wise neural retrieval memory. In detail, we investigate how input tokens access memory locations within FFN
- 09Learning Structured Reasoning via Tractable Trajectory ControlLarge language models can exhibit emergent reasoning behaviors, often manifested as recurring lexical patterns (e.g., “wait,” indicating verification). However, complex reasoning trajectories remain sparse in unconstrained sampling, and standard RL often fails to guarantee the acquisition of diverse reasoning behaviors. We propose a systematic discovery and reinforcement of diverse reasoning patterns through structured reasoning, a paradigm that requires targeted exploration of specific reasonin
- 10Learning Unmasking Policies for Diffusion Language ModelsDiffusion (Large) Language Models (dLLMs) now match the downstream performance of their autoregressive counterparts on many tasks, while holding the promise of being more efficient during inference. One critical design aspect of dLLMs is the sampling procedure that selects which tokens to unmask at each diffusion step. Indeed, recent work has found that heuristic strategies such as confidence thresholding improve both sample quality and token throughput compared to random unmasking. However, suc
