ReconSpan: Reconstruction-Guided Adaptive Latent Tokenization

作者

摘要

Adaptive latent tokenization maps a fine-grained input to a shorter sequence of continuous representations associated with input-dependent spans. We introduce ReconSpan, which divides text into chunks that a backward decoder can reconstruct from a single contextual prefix code and retains one such code as the latent token for each chunk. The reconstruction criterion is applied when chunks are formed, allowing one trained autoencoder to produce average chunk lengths from 6.5 to 12.2. At matched average length, reconstruction-guided boundaries preserve more text than random boundaries. Readers of the resulting latent sequence recover topic information reliably but struggle to extract exact details.
