Entropy-Guided LLM Decoding via Probabilistic Circuits

This work argues that future entropy is also essential for LLM decoding, and estimates its lower and upper bounds by computing the lower and upper bounds on a hidden Markov model (HMM), which is distilled as a surrogate of the LLM.

The Parser Already Knows: Lightweight Bias Correction in Constrained Decoding

SHIM is introduced, a lightweight, offline-trained correction of the LM's next-token probabilities, conditioned on this syntactic and lexical state together with candidate next tokens, which substantially narrows the gap to the LM's grammar-conditioned distribution compared to masking and online sampling, while running...

Meta-Ctrl: Guaranteed Plan Generation by Decoupling Syntactic and Semantic Constraints

Meta-Ctrl is proposed, a constrained-decoding framework that guarantees the encoded constraints while preserving the base LM's plan quality, and is demonstrated on a real tabletop robot, where every generated plan satisfies its preconditions and goals by construction.

Interpretable Causal Discovery via Causal-Effect Constraints

This work considers the task of conditional causal discovery as a Bayesian inference problem, in which the posterior is targeted over causal graphs and parameters conditional on an event such as a causal-effect constraint, and adapts rare-event estimation techniques to perform inference the joint graph-parameter space.

The Pitfalls of Maximum Likelihood Training of TPMs for Controllable Language Generation

This work finds that likelihood-trained TPMs can result in failed generations due to overly large corrections to the LM’s logits, and trains TPMs with LM-aligned objectives that better align with the LM token-probability space.
