Scaling Beyond Masked Diffusion Language Models
Subham Sekhar Sahoo, Jean-Marie Lemercier, Zhihan Yang +4
Diffusion language models are a promising alternative to autoregressive models due to their potential for faster generation. Among discrete diffusion approaches, Masked diffusion c…
The Diffusion Duality
Subham Sekhar Sahoo, Justin Deschenaux, Aaron Gokaslan +3
Uniform-state discrete diffusion models hold the promise of fast text generation due to their inherent ability to self-correct. However, they are typically outperformed by autoregr…
Block Diffusion: Interpolating Between Autoregressive and Diffusion Language Models
Marianne Arriola, Aaron Gokaslan, Justin T. Chiu +5
Diffusion language models offer unique benefits over autoregressive models due to their potential for parallelized generation and controllability, yet they lag in likelihood modeli…
Remasking Discrete Diffusion Models with Inference-Time Scaling
Guanghan Wang, Yair Schiff, Subham Sekhar Sahoo +1
Part of the success of diffusion models stems from their ability to perform iterative refinement, i.e., repeatedly correcting outputs during generation. However, modern masked disc…
Simple Guidance Mechanisms for Discrete Diffusion Models
Yair Schiff, Subham Sekhar Sahoo, Hao Phung +7
Diffusion models for continuous data gained widespread adoption owing to their high quality generation and control mechanisms. However, controllable diffusion on discrete data face…
