Independent researcher looking for technical feedback on a paper about a revision-capable language model [P]

Key Points

  • An independent researcher is seeking technical feedback on a paper introducing “Reviser,” a revision-capable language model that generates outputs through cursor-relative edit actions on a mutable canvas.
  • The model is autoregressive over edit-history actions rather than final text token order, aiming to support response revisions while keeping decoding efficiency close to standard autoregressive transformers.
  • The author is specifically asking reviewers to evaluate the strength and boldness of the paper’s claims, identify weaknesses, and judge whether the experimental results are sufficient or need additional comparisons.
  • The paper is shared via a GitHub link, and the author is also requesting an arXiv cs.CL endorsement from eligible community members.

Hi everyone! I am an independent researcher working on Reviser, a language model that generates through cursor-relative edit actions on a mutable canvas. It is autoregressive over edit-history actions rather than final text order, which lets it revise its response while keeping decoding efficiency close to standard autoregressive transformers.

My goal is to submit the paper to a conference such as ACL, EMNLP, ICML, or a similar venue, and I would really appreciate technical feedback on things like:

- Boldness/strength of the claims

- Weaknesses

- Quality of the results, or if I should include other results

Paper: https://github.com/Sean-Diab/Reviser/blob/main/main.pdf

I would really value any feedback on what I should improve before submitting.

I am also looking for an arXiv endorsement for cs.CL. If anyone here is eligible and feels comfortable helping, my endorsement link is: https://arxiv.org/auth/endorse?x=ISRSI8

Thank you very much.
