Primal Generation, Dual Judgment: Self-Training from Test-Time Scaling

Yizhu Jiao, Ruixiang Zhang, Richard Bai +3

Code generation is typically trained in the primal space of programs: a model produces a candidate solution and receives sparse execution feedback, often a single pass/fail bit. Te…

Flexible Language Modeling in Continuous Space with Transformer-based Autoregressive Flows

Ruixiang Zhang, Shuangfei Zhai, Jiatao Gu +6

Autoregressive models have driven remarkable progress in language modeling. Their foundational reliance on discrete tokens, unidirectional context, and single-pass decoding, while…

Target Concrete Score Matching: A Holistic Framework for Discrete Diffusion

Ruixiang Zhang, Shuangfei Zhai, Yizhe Zhang +4

Discrete diffusion is a promising framework for modeling and generating discrete data. In this work, we present Target Concrete Score Matching (TCSM), a novel and versatile objecti…

Improving GFlowNets for Text-to-Image Diffusion Alignment

Dinghuai Zhang, Yizhe Zhang, Jiatao Gu +4

Diffusion models have become the de-facto approach for generating visual data, which are trained to match the distribution of the training dataset. In addition, we also want to con…

Learning Representation from Neural Fisher Kernel with Low-rank Approximation

Ruixiang Zhang, Shuangfei Zhai, Etai Littwin +1

In this paper, we study the representation of neural networks from the view of kernels. We first define the Neural Fisher Kernel (NFK), which is the Fisher Kernel applied to neural…

An Attention Free Transformer

Shuangfei Zhai, Walter Talbott, Nitish Srivastava +4

We introduce Attention Free Transformer (AFT), an efficient variant of Transformers that eliminates the need for dot product self attention. In an AFT layer, the key and value are…
