Improving Llm Speculative Decoding Drafting Using Multi-Tier Chained Drafter, Jae Hun Ro, Asaf Aharoni, Ananda Theertha Suresh, Michael Butler, Matthew Markwell Nov 2025

Improving Llm Speculative Decoding Drafting Using Multi-Tier Chained Drafter, Jae Hun Ro, Asaf Aharoni, Ananda Theertha Suresh, Michael Butler, Matthew Markwell

Defensive Publications Series

Large language models (LLMs) generate output tokens auto-regressively, which places constraints on the rate of token generation and can lead to underutilized hardware and higher latencies for generating responses. Speculative decoding techniques can be used to guess multiple future tokens or a sequence of candidate tokens to improve hardware utilization and reduce the overall latency. However, when speculative tokens are generated using a drafter model that is a lightweight approximation of a primary LLM, the drafter model can itself become a computational bottleneck, consuming non-trivial time and/or underutilizing hardware. This disclosure describes the use of tiered smaller drafters where one …

Between Utterance And Action: The Shaping Of Social Accountability In India’S Coastal Commons, Nayana Udayashankar, Aarthi Sridhar

Journal of Law and Public Policy

Judicial orders, management plans, and zonation maps prepared in relation to environmental laws encode the jurisprudence on accountability. Laws such as India’s Coastal Regulation Zone Notification (CRZ Notification) 2019 serve as sources of discourse on use and access rights. Such laws are crucial in shaping developmental decisions and democratic practice along the coast.

Examining Microbial Biomass And Soil Organic Carbon In Annual Vs. Perennial Agricultural Ecosystem Soils, Paige Kenyon, Jacob Rutz, Kelsey S. Bitting Nov 2025

Examining Microbial Biomass And Soil Organic Carbon In Annual Vs. Perennial Agricultural Ecosystem Soils, Paige Kenyon, Jacob Rutz, Kelsey S. Bitting

RURALS: Review of Undergraduate Research in Agricultural and Life Sciences

Soil systems have the ability to store large amounts of carbon for both short and long periods of time, much like other carbon pools such as oceans and forests. As increased amounts of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere via anthropogenic means, including the agricultural industry, scientists have been researching how to increase the amount of carbon cycled from the atmosphere and into soils as a climate change mitigation strategy. Soil systems have the capacity to sequester carbon in part due to fungal and bacterial community activity. Differences in soil microbial biomass levels between annual and perennial agricultural systems …

Rehabilitation Of Reinforced Concrete Columns Pre-Damaged By Corrosion Using Advanced Composite Materials, Feras Farid Abu Obaida

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns exposed to aggressive environments are highly susceptible to corrosion-induced deterioration, resulting in significant reductions in load-carrying capacity. This research investigates the structural performance of RC circular short columns with varying levels of corrosion damage and evaluates the effectiveness of two composite-based repair techniques, namely carbon fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (C-FRCM) and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (C-FRP) composites, combined with concrete cover replacement. The study aims to establish these methods as practical solutions for rehabilitating corrosion-damaged columns under concentric and eccentric loading conditions. The experimental program included 30 RC column specimens tested in two phases. Phase I involved thirteen …
