Entropy-informed Decoding: Adaptive Information-Driven Branching

Researchers introduce Entropy-informed Decoding (EDEN), a novel framework that optimizes how large language models generate text by dynamically adjusting computational effort based on output uncertainty. The method matches or exceeds the performance of traditional beam search while using fewer computational expansions, particularly improving results on complex tasks like mathematical reasoning and code generation.

From Entropy to Calibrated Uncertainty: Training Language Models to Reason About Uncertainty

Researchers propose a three-stage pipeline to train Large Language Models to efficiently provide calibrated uncertainty estimates for their responses. The method uses entropy-based scoring, Platt scaling calibration, and reinforcement learning to enable models to reason about uncertainty without computationally expensive post-hoc methods.

Know What You Know: Metacognitive Entropy Calibration for Verifiable RL Reasoning

Researchers propose EGPO, a new framework that improves large reasoning models by incorporating uncertainty awareness into reinforcement learning training. The approach addresses the "uncertainty-reward mismatch" where current training methods treat high and low-confidence solutions equally, preventing models from developing better reasoning capabilities.

Fine-Tuning Improves Information Conveyance in Language Models

Researchers propose Canopy Entropy (CE*), a new metric that reveals fine-tuning reorganizes uncertainty in language models rather than simply reducing it. The measure shows that fine-tuned models convert token-level uncertainty into more semantically meaningful and informative outputs, fundamentally changing how we understand model alignment and information generation.

The Information Dynamics of Generative Diffusion

Researchers present a unified theoretical framework for understanding generative diffusion models by connecting information theory, dynamics, and thermodynamics. The study reveals that diffusion generation operates as controlled noise-induced symmetry breaking, where the score function regulates information flow from noise to structured data.

Quantile Advantage Estimation: Stabilizing RLVR for LLM Reasoning

Researchers propose Quantile Advantage Estimation (QAE) to stabilize Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) for large language model reasoning. The method replaces mean baselines with group-wise K-quantile baselines to prevent entropy collapse and explosion, showing sustained improvements on mathematical reasoning tasks.
