SPD: פיענוח יחיד לדירוג יצירתי

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.01807v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) achieve state-of-the-art generative ranking quality, but the ranking they produce must be decoded, and autoregressive decoding spends one sequential forward pass per emitted token. We observe that the only tokens a ranker must emit are the $N$ ordinal values naming the items in ranked order, and that this narrow, permutation-structured output format admits decoding strategies which are much more efficient than left-to-right generation. We introduce SPD (Single Forward Pass), a format-specialized decoding strategy that decodes all $N$ ordinals in $O(1)$ forward passes. SPD reads an $N \times K$ item-position score matrix off the LLM's prefill hidden states with a lightweight self-attention head, then decodes th
