Foresight Is Not Enough: Sentence-Level Future Signals, Self-Loop Hard Negatives, and the Calibration Gap in Small Language Models
2026-07-14
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>A language model can learn a representation that appears to anticipate future text, but such a representation may still fail to control generation behavior. We study this representation-to-behavior gap in ForesightLM-v2, a DistilGPT-2-scale language model trained with a sentence-level future-prediction head and self-loop hard negatives. Across three WikiText-103 seeds, the held-out hard...
