MaskSense: Confronting the Visual Exploration Trap in Masked Image Generation
Yawen Shao, Jie Xiao, Kai Zhu +6
Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown strong potential for aligning generative models with human intent, but adapting RL to masked generative models (MGMs) remains largely underexp…

Code Plans, Diffusion Renders: Open-Ended Generative World Modeling
Zixun Fang, Yawen Shao, Kai Zhu +7
We introduce \textbf{CoDeR}, a new paradigm for world modeling. Unlike existing video world models that implicitly represent world dynamics through visual observations, our system…

Back on Track: Aligning Rewards and States for Reasoning in Diffusion Large Language Models
Yawen Shao, Jie Xiao, Kai Zhu +6
Reinforcement learning (RL) holds immense promise for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of diffusion large language models (dLLMs). However, progress is fundamentally constraine…
