A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a new method of lossless image compression. An image is characterized by homogeneous parts. The bit planes, which are of high weight are characterized by sequences of 0 ...

This study introduces MathEval, a comprehensive benchmarking framework designed to systematically evaluate the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Addressing key ...

[Note this is an in-progress specification to be used in an upcoming format.] The decoder supports adaptive binary and multi-symbol models, as well as specialized encoding schemes like truncated ...
