Title: Inducing Sustained Creativity and Diversity in Large Language Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.19519v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We address a not-widely-recognized subset of exploratory search, where a user sets out on a typically long "search quest" for the perfect wedding dress, overlooked research topic, killer company idea, etc. The first few outputs of current large language models (LLMs) may be helpful but only as a start, since the quest requires learning the search space and evaluating many diverse and creative alternatives along the way. Although LLMs encode an im
