LatentMT: Machine Translation with Latent Reasoning
Wei-Rui Chen, Samar M. Magdy, Chiyu Zhang, Wenhui Zhu, Zhipeng Wang, Muhammad Abdul-Mageed
Latent-reasoning looped language models (LoopLMs) offer a different scaling path for machine translation (MT): instead of increasing parameter count or emitting explicit chain-of-thought tokens, they spend additional recurrent computation inside hidden states. We introduce Latent…
