ArashVahdat · x · 2026-07-06
The paper "Esoteric Language Models," which will be presented at ICML (Hall A #2510, 10:30-12:15) on July 8th, claims to be the first work to propose an exact likelihood estimation method for language models. It will be showcased during the poster session.
Exact likelihood estimation is a core challenge in the theoretical research of language models. If this claim holds true, the achievement carries significant academic importance.
