arXiv:2605.30150v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs are increasingly used to generate candidate-idea pools for creative tasks where broad exploration is valuable. Parallel inference can be attractive in this setting when it broadens the pool while retaining quality and cost efficiency. We study inference-time controls for candidate-pool diversification, asking whether anchorless methods can rival methods that depend on observed seed ideas. Across three creative task families, we compare independent generation and semantic direction stratification with self-, peer-, and representative-anchor b
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) and their increasing deployment in creative and ideation tasks necessitate more efficient and diverse generation methods to maximize their utility.
This research provides a more efficient and diversified method for generating candidate ideas using LLMs, which is crucial for accelerating innovation in various creative fields and product development cycles.
The ability to generate a broader and higher-quality pool of ideas without relying on initial seed concepts allows for more exploratory and potentially breakthrough ideation processes.
