The authors introduce a three-level formality spectrum (informal, casual, formal) and the 3LF dataset to correct supervision misalignment in formality transfer, reporting large gains in informal-to-formal performance on models including GPT variants.

Four axioms (Causality, Minimality, Separability, Stability) are formalized for latent thought representations; audits of open LLMs on 23 tasks show none satisfy all four and representations add little beyond input embeddings.
Proposes a semantic information theory for LLMs that substitutes the token for the bit as the atomic carrier of meaning, recasts the Transformer as an energy-based model, and derives directed rate-distortion and rate-reward functions using Massey's directed information.
Gyan is a novel explainable non-transformer language model that achieves SOTA results on multiple datasets by mimicking human-like compositional context and world models.
