Simplex Diffusion Models

Justin Deschenaux, Alexandre Galashov, Andrew Campbell +4

Diffusion models have revolutionized generative modeling for continuous data through the gradual refinement of a belief state. This iterative refinement has not yet carried over to…

BlockGen: Flexible Blockwise Sequence Modeling with Hybrid Samplers

Justin Deschenaux, Caglar Gulcehre

Is the uniform-state diffusion framework a more powerful paradigm for discrete diffusion? Recent studies indicate that this may be the case. In combination with predictor-corrector…

Language Modeling with Hyperspherical Flows

Justin Deschenaux, Caglar Gulcehre

Discrete Diffusion Language Models progressed rapidly as an alternative to autoregressive (AR) models, motivated by their parallel generation abilities. However, for tractability,…

Fixed-Point Masked Generative Modeling

Andrea Miele, Yiming Qin, Alba Carballo-Castro +2

Masked Generative Models (MGMs) enable parallel decoding and achieve strong performance across modalities, but require full-sequence bidirectional transformers at every step, makin…

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, Chapter II: -Samplers

Justin Deschenaux, Caglar Gulcehre, Subham Sekhar Sahoo

Uniform-state discrete diffusion models excel at few-step generation and guidance due to their ability to self-correct, making them preferred over autoregressive or Masked diffusio…

Loopholing Discrete Diffusion: Deterministic Bypass of the Sampling Wall

Mingyu Jo, Jaesik Yoon, Justin Deschenaux +2

Discrete diffusion models offer a promising alternative to autoregressive generation through parallel decoding, but they suffer from a sampling wall: once categorical sampling occu…

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…

Partition Generative Modeling: Masked Modeling Without Masks

Justin Deschenaux, Lan Tran, Caglar Gulcehre

Masked generative models (MGMs) can generate tokens in parallel and in any order, unlike autoregressive models (ARMs), which decode one token at a time, left-to-right. However, MGM…

One-Step is Enough: Sparse Autoencoders for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

Viacheslav Surkov, Chris Wendler, Antonio Mari +5

For large language models (LLMs), sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have been shown to decompose intermediate representations that often are not interpretable directly into sparse sums of…

Beyond Autoregression: Fast LLMs via Self-Distillation Through Time

Justin Deschenaux, Caglar Gulcehre

Autoregressive (AR) Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant success across numerous tasks. However, the AR modeling paradigm presents certain limitations; for in…

Promises, Outlooks and Challenges of Diffusion Language Modeling

Justin Deschenaux, Caglar Gulcehre

The modern autoregressive Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved outstanding performance on NLP benchmarks, and they are deployed in the real world. However, they still suffer…

Going beyond Compositions, DDPMs Can Produce Zero-Shot Interpolations

Justin Deschenaux, Igor Krawczuk, Grigorios Chrysos +1

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) exhibit remarkable capabilities in image generation, with studies suggesting that they can generalize by composing latent factors l…

Distributed Extra-gradient with Optimal Complexity and Communication Guarantees

Ali Ramezani-Kebrya, Kimon Antonakopoulos, Igor Krawczuk +2

We consider monotone variational inequality (VI) problems in multi-GPU settings where multiple processors/workers/clients have access to local stochastic dual vectors. This setting…
