New SENSE method boosts LLM inference speed with semantic decoding

Researchers have introduced SENSE, a novel method for retrieval-based speculative decoding in large language models. SENSE enhances inference speed by using semantic embeddings from the target model to guide retrieval and a soft-gated evaluation module to verify semantic equivalence, rather than just surface forms. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of existing methods that rely on rigid lexical dependencies. Experiments show SENSE improves performance on LLaMA and Qwen models, achieving significant speedups while maintaining generation quality. AI
