Papers
- Better Document-Level Machine Translation with Bayes' Rule (2020 · 72 citations)
Translating whole documents requires cross-sentence context. For example, Chinese marks tense and number less explicitly than English, so the right English form often depends on other sentences. However, parallel documents for training are scarce. The authors address this by applying Bayes' rule, the classic noisy… - Calibrating Verbal Uncertainty as a Linear Feature to Reduce Hallucinations (2025 · 11 citations)
Large language models often state wrong answers in a confident tone, which leads users to trust them too much. - Sparse Brains are Also Adaptive Brains: Cognitive-Load-Aware Dynamic Activation for LLMs (2026 · 3 citations)
Dense LLMs spend the same compute on every token, however easy or hard it is. Existing dynamic-activation methods each have a weakness. DejaVu does not generalize beyond ReLU models, Threshold Truncation (TT) costs too much overhead to give real speedups, and Griffin loses noticeable accuracy. The authors propose… - Detoxification for LLM: From Dataset Itself (2026)
Most LLM detoxification work acts late, through post-training or controlled decoding at inference time. That leaves the toxic knowledge absorbed from training data in place. This paper instead cleans the training corpus before any model learns from it. The authors propose HSPD (Hierarchical Semantic-Preserving… - Distilling Large Embeddings via Hyperspherical Householder Quantization (2026)
Generative retrieval trains a sequence model to output a document identifier for a query, so no dense vector index is needed.
