What papers say
Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites token-level speculative decoding as a baseline.
“However, existing work either in improving drafting and verification remains token-level, overlooking semantic equivalence between drafts and target outputs, as discussed in Section~sec:intro, which still potentially reject good candidates and leads to low acceptance rate.”
