A per-token feature from temperature-induced changes in LLM token distributions predicts within-prompt creativity rank at Spearman rho 0.918 vs LLM judges and 0.870 vs humans, outperforming perplexity, entropy, top-1 margin, and compression baselines.

abstract
We introduce Texygen, a benchmarking platform to support research on open-domain text generation models. Texygen has not only implemented a majority of text generation models, but also covered a set of metrics that evaluate the diversity, the quality and the consistency of the generated texts. The Texygen platform could help standardize the research on text generation and facilitate the sharing of fine-tuned open-source implementations among researchers for their work. As a consequence, this would help in improving the reproductivity and reliability of future research work in text generation.

Introduces TBPO, which derives a Bregman-divergence density-ratio matching objective for token-level preference optimization that generalizes DPO while preserving the induced optimal policy.
Decan (D_Ca_n = C × a_n) measures text diversity as progressive conditional surprise from base LM log-probabilities, scoring 0.846 OCA on McDiv benchmark and detecting monotonic diversity drop across base→SFT→DPO→RLVR stages.
TOFU loss mitigates the narrowing of generative diversity in LLMs after supervised fine-tuning by addressing neglect of low-frequency patterns and forgetting of prior knowledge.
Only gated RNN language models reproduce the long-range correlation scaling of natural language among tested models, with Taylor's law exponent serving as a quality indicator.
