On a dataset of paired submission and camera-ready papers from ICLR and NeurIPS, we compare the helpfulness of questions from GPT models with or without full paper context to that of human reviewers. GPT produces m …

Constrained decoding for Masked Diffusion Language Models (MDLMs) aims to ensure that generated outputs satisfy a specified structure or syntax constraint. MDLMs generate outputs by repeatedly unmasking masked positions present in their current state. Recent strategies for constrained decoding constrain the model's per …
