Next-Concept Modeling: Fast, Parallel Coarse-to-Fine Text Generation
Hermann Kumbong, Ishan S. Khare, Iddah Mlauzi +6
Diffusion language models (DLMs) offer parallel sampling for faster generation than autoregressive models, an increasingly important advantage as inference becomes a dominant compu…
Block Parallelism For Efficient Distributed Long-Context Diffusion Language Model Training
Tarun Suresh, Pranshu Chaturvedi, Hangoo Kang +4
Block diffusion language models (BDLMs) combine autoregressive dependencies across blocks with parallel denoising within blocks, but long-context training is constrained by distrib…
HMAR: Efficient Hierarchical Masked Auto-Regressive Image Generation
Hermann Kumbong, Xian Liu, Tsung-Yi Lin +6
Visual Auto-Regressive modeling (VAR) has shown promise in bridging the speed and quality gap between autoregressive image models and diffusion models. VAR reformulates autoregress…
The Hedgehog & the Porcupine: Expressive Linear Attentions with Softmax Mimicry
Michael Zhang, Kush Bhatia, Hermann Kumbong +1
Linear attentions have shown potential for improving Transformer efficiency, reducing attention's quadratic complexity to linear in sequence length. This holds exciting promise for…
FlashFFTConv: Efficient Convolutions for Long Sequences with Tensor Cores
Daniel Y. Fu, Hermann Kumbong, Eric Nguyen +1
Convolution models with long filters have demonstrated state-of-the-art reasoning abilities in many long-sequence tasks but lag behind the most optimized Transformers in wall-clock…
Laughing Hyena Distillery: Extracting Compact Recurrences From Convolutions
Stefano Massaroli, Michael Poli, Daniel Y. Fu +11
Recent advances in attention-free sequence models rely on convolutions as alternatives to the attention operator at the core of Transformers. In particular, long convolution sequen…
