Abstract
A document modeled as a discrete sequence of tokens can be thought of as being generated from a composition of texts from different domains; a README file, for example, moves between prose, code, and configuration. When such a document is corrupted and only frozen domain experts are available, restoring it requires deciding both what is missing and which expert to trust at each position, at test time and without region labels or a trained router. We introduce evidence-aligned local composition, which infers a soft, position-wise weighting over the experts from the marginal evidence of the corrupted observation under a given corruption model, estimating the evidence from the experts' own denoising losses and smoothing the weights across positions. Because the weighting is soft, it recovers a mixture when the true composition is mixed and concentrates on one expert when that suffices. Across a categorical simulator, byte-level experts, and experts fine-tuned from a $1.3$B discrete flow-matching model, the inferred weights track the true regions at $0.85$ field accuracy on naturally mixed scientific documents, and at $0.98$ on constructed mixtures whose regions are lexically disjoint. Restoration improves over a single global weight when the experts are genuinely distinct and reduces to it when they converge, tracking a measure of expert separation.
