Discrete Diffusion Models: A Unified Framework from Tokenization to Generation

Ye Yuan, Weien Li, Rui Song +19

The paper proposes a unified framework for discrete denoising diffusion models that ties together tokenization, vocabulary design, and generation methods, showing how existing appr…

Depth Exploration for LLM Decoding

Weisi Yang, Zipeng Sun, Stephen Xia

Autoregressive LLM decoding evaluates every generated token through the full layer stack, even though many tokens become predictable at intermediate depths. Existing lossless depth…

Training Diffusion Language Models for Black-Box Optimization

Zipeng Sun, Can Chen, Ye Yuan +4

We study offline black-box optimization (BBO), aiming to discover improved designs from an offline dataset of designs and labels, a problem common in robotics and DNA with limited…

Support-Proximity Augmented Diffusion Estimation for Offline Black-Box Optimization

Yonghan Yang, Ye Yuan, Zipeng Sun +5

Offline black-box optimization aims to discover novel designs with high property scores using only a static dataset, a task fundamentally challenged by the out-of-distribution (OOD…

Preference Heads in Large Language Models: A Mechanistic Framework for Interpretable Personalization

Weixu Zhang, Ye Yuan, Changjiang Han +7

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit strong implicit personalization ability, yet most existing approaches treat this behavior as a black box, relying on prompt engineering or fine…

Optimizing User Profiles via Contextual Bandits for Retrieval-Augmented LLM Personalization

Linfeng Du, Ye Yuan, Zichen Zhao +8

Large language models (LLMs) excel at general-purpose tasks, yet adapting their responses to individual users remains challenging. Retrieval augmentation provides a lightweight alt…
