Reviser: Revision-Capable Text Generation via Autoregressive Cursor Actions

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.20830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Revision-capable generation is appealing because it can insert or revise earlier content, but many non-autoregressive and edit-based approaches obtain this flexibility through repeated sequence-level computation. We propose Reviser, a decoder-only Transformer that generates a response as a sequence of cursor-relative actions on a mutable canvas. At each step, Reviser predicts exactly one action token: INSERT(token), MOVE($\Delta$), or STOP, and is
