Steering Without Breaking: Mechanistically Informed Interventions for Discrete Diffusion Language Models

Hanhan Zhou, Shamik Roy, Rashmi Gangadharaiah

Discrete diffusion language models (DLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising all positions in parallel, offering an alternative to autoregressive models. Controlled generation…

When Facts Change: Probing LLMs on Evolving Knowledge with evolveQA

Nishanth Sridhar Nakshatri, Shamik Roy, Manoj Ghuhan Arivazhagan +3

LLMs often fail to handle temporal knowledge conflicts--contradictions arising when facts evolve over time within their training data. Existing studies evaluate this phenomenon thr…

FairGen: Controlling Sensitive Attributes for Fair Generations in Diffusion Models via Adaptive Latent Guidance

Mintong Kang, Vinayshekhar Bannihatti Kumar, Shamik Roy +4

Text-to-image diffusion models often exhibit biases toward specific demographic groups, such as generating more males than females when prompted to generate images of engineers, ra…

Constrained Decoding with Speculative Lookaheads

Nishanth Nakshatri, Shamik Roy, Rajarshi Das +3

Constrained decoding with lookahead heuristics (CDLH) is a highly effective method for aligning LLM generations to human preferences. However, the extensive lookahead roll-out oper…
