Learning What Not to Impute: An Uncertainty-Aware Diffusion Framework for Meaningful Missingness

Lixing Zhang, Yidong Ouyang, Weifu Li +3

Missing value imputation is a fundamental task in machine learning, with most existing methods assuming that all missing entries correspond to unobserved regular values. In many re…

HawkesLLM: Semantic Uncertainty Propagation in Agentic Text Simulation

Zewei Deng, Tinghan Ye, Liyan Xie

Agentic text-simulation systems write in sequence, with each item becoming possible context for later steps. That makes uncertainty path-dependent: an early ambiguity can affect la…

Training-Free Self-Correction for Multimodal Masked Diffusion Models

Yidong Ouyang, Panwen Hu, Zhengyan Wan +7

Masked diffusion models have emerged as a powerful framework for text and multimodal generation. However, their sampling procedure updates multiple tokens simultaneously and treats…

Alignment of Diffusion Model and Flow Matching for Text-to-Image Generation

Yidong Ouyang, Liyan Xie, Hongyuan Zha +1

Diffusion models and flow matching have demonstrated remarkable success in text-to-image generation. While many existing alignment methods primarily focus on fine-tuning pre-traine…

Corrected Samplers for Discrete Flow Models

Zhengyan Wan, Yidong Ouyang, Liyan Xie +3

Discrete flow models (DFMs) have been proposed to learn the data distribution on finite state space, offering a flexible framework as an alternative to discrete diffusion models. A…
