What papers say
Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites DART as a baseline.
“Still, it relies on continuity-aware tree pruning with an external $N$-gram continuity score and a large $N$-gram trie at runtime~liu2026dart. By contrast, our proposed DDTree keeps the same one-pass DFlash drafter and constructs the tree directly from the per-position probabilities produced by that pass. This avoids auxiliary external scoring and gives an explicit surrogate objective that our best-first construction provably maximizes.”
