On the Design Space of Discrete Diffusion Online Adaptation for Molecular Optimization

Trevor Chen, Ariel Dai, Jason Yang +8

Molecular optimization often starts from a pretrained generative model that captures a broad prior over valid molecular structures. At test time, however, the goal is not to sample…

End-to-End Autoregressive Image Generation with 1D Semantic Tokenizer

Wenda Chu, Bingliang Zhang, Jiaqi Han +4

Autoregressive image modeling relies on visual tokenizers to compress images into compact latent representations. We design an end-to-end training pipeline that jointly optimizes r…

InverseBench: Benchmarking Plug-and-Play Diffusion Priors for Inverse Problems in Physical Sciences

Hongkai Zheng, Wenda Chu, Bingliang Zhang +9

Plug-and-play diffusion priors (PnPDP) have emerged as a promising research direction for solving inverse problems. However, current studies primarily focus on natural image restor…

Split Gibbs Discrete Diffusion Posterior Sampling

Wenda Chu, Zihui Wu, Yifan Chen +2

We study the problem of posterior sampling in discrete-state spaces using discrete diffusion models. While posterior sampling methods for continuous diffusion models have achieved…
