Language models are more and more often asked for structured output: JSON that follows a schema, or a tool call with typed arguments. A small machine, an automaton, enforces the format by forbidding the tokens that would break it. We observe that this machine has a rare property: from any of its states, each token lead …
Reinforcement learning for large language models typically maximizes expected return, adding up the probabilities of all successful trajectories. However, the classical sum formulation can only report how often the model policy succeeds, not which solution actually worked, and because probabilities sum to one, reinforc …
Latent diffusion models serve as powerful priors for solving inverse problems in image restoration, such as deblurring, inpainting, and super-resolution. Current methods have a trade-off between generality and efficiency. Solvers that are restricted to a fixed set of degradation operators are fast and efficient. Method …
