Chinese Decision: A Family of Language Models for Single-Pass Probabilistic Decision-Making

원문 초록

Many applications need either a probability distribution over a few decisions or a set of typed spans from a text, and both are usually obtained by generating text. We present Chinese Decision, a family of Chinese models that answers both with a single forward pass and no generated token: candidate-letter logits give probabilities for Boolean, categorical, and ordinal decisions, and a small span head reading an echoed copy of the input gives typed character spans. Both readouts share one backbone and one merged LoRA, so a unified model is one weight file. We release decision-only and unified models at 0.8B, 2B, and 4B (Qwen3.5), trained for one epoch on 13.05 million decisions and, for the unified models, on CJ-IE, a 1.2-million-row Chinese extraction mixture. On the full 307,900-decision CJ-Bench, the unified 4B model reaches 86.86% accuracy, above every reported baseline and the decision-only 4B model (85.97%), and extracts spans on CJ-IE with micro F1 of 68.9. Retention has a price: against a 0.8B model continued on CJ-IE alone, which reaches 73.9 F1 but forgets CJ-Bench (71.02%), keeping decision ability costs 5.0 to 10.7 F1 points, shrinking with size. Gains of the unified models over decision-only ones are small, and all comparisons rest on single training runs with paired clustered bootstrap intervals.
