Forget BIT, It is All about TOKEN: Towards Semantic Information Theory for LLMs

cs.IT · 2025-11-03 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

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: An Explainable Neuro-Symbolic Language Model

cs.CL · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0 · 2 refs

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.

  • Casual as an Anchor: Resolving Supervision Misalignment in Formality Transfer Dataset cs.CL · 2026-05-28 · unverdicted · none · ref 35 · internal anchor

    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.

  • Formalizing Latent Thoughts: Four Axioms of Thought Representation in LLMs cs.CL · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · none · ref 69 · internal anchor

    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.

  • Forget BIT, It is All about TOKEN: Towards Semantic Information Theory for LLMs cs.IT · 2025-11-03 · unverdicted · none · ref 37 · internal anchor

    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.
