  • Publication number: 20260111668
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises processing circuitry configured to: receive input text; apply a trained model to the input text to determine a sequence of tokens, wherein the sequence of tokens represents a text output, wherein the trained model is configured to perform a repeating next token selection process comprising selecting a next token in the sequence based on at least one previous token in the sequence, the next token selection process comprises selecting a plurality of candidate tokens and the processing circuitry is configured to filter the plurality of candidate tokens to exclude one or more of the candidate tokens if they match at least one exclusion criterion.
