How Should Diffusion Language Models Edit Code?

Xijia Tao, Ziru Liu, Shansan Gong +7

Code editing requires a model to decide where to make changes, generate the new content, and preserve everything else. We study how masked diffusion language models divide these re…

DreamReasoner-8B: Block-Size Curriculum Learning for Diffusion Reasoning Models

Zirui Wu, Lin Zheng, Jiacheng Ye +5

Block diffusion language models accelerate decoding through parallel block-wise denoising, yet whether they can be reliably scaled for long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning remains…

Continuously Augmented Discrete Diffusion model for Categorical Generative Modeling

Huangjie Zheng, Shansan Gong, Ruixiang Zhang +5

Standard discrete diffusion models treat all unobserved states identically by mapping them to an absorbing [MASK] token. This creates an 'information void' where semantic informati…
