MinGram is a simplified Unigram tokenizer training method that prioritizes token count minimization to deliver higher compression than BPE and standard Unigram while retaining competitive morphological alignment and superior bits-per-byte performance in language model training.

LLM outputs are meaningful according to standard theories of human language, without requiring anthropomorphic assumptions about the models.
ToaST uses vocabulary-independent split trees and integer programming to produce tokenizers with over 11% fewer tokens than BPE, WordPiece, and UnigramLM while improving 1.5B-parameter LM scores on CORE.
ReTokSync resolves tokenization ambiguity in generative linguistic steganography via targeted self-synchronizing resets, achieving over 99.7% extraction accuracy and 100% recovery with an auxiliary channel while matching baseline security and quality.
The paper characterizes deductive stereotyping in LLMs and introduces Fair-GCG to discover injection phrases that improve fairness across benchmarks, reasoning, and real-world tasks.
Activation patching localizes English detokenization in Llama2-7B to a two-stage attention-then-MLP process at layer 1 that generalizes to 12 models from 8 families, with depth varying by positional encoding, plus an early-layer probe achieving 0.94-0.97 AUROC.
Vocabulary adaptation via targeted token addition and replacement improves semantic similarity, domain word usage, and training efficiency for LLM summarization in legal and medical domains.
TOTEN is a knowledge-based system for structure-preserving representation of physical quantities and technical notation in Brazilian Portuguese using an ontology of engineering entities and external authorities, outperforming statistical baselines in atomicity and reconstruction.
A 355M-parameter byte-level LM on 80B multilingual tokens exhibits UTF-8 validity converging after 4.2B tokens versus 2.1B for perplexity, with higher validity on rare characters than common ones.
